How to Inventory a Sealed Card Collection

Game, sport, set, format, language, quantity, condition and provenance.

Sealed card products combine random contents, collector premiums and packaging evidence. The safest buying process identifies the exact product first, then evaluates tamper risk, condition, configuration and realistic market data.

2. Photograph

Photograph should be evaluated using the exact game or sport, set, language, region and product configuration. Separate official product facts from seller shorthand and avoid turning a chase card into an expected return.

3. Record codes

Record codes should be evaluated using the exact game or sport, set, language, region and product configuration. Separate official product facts from seller shorthand and avoid turning a chase card into an expected return.

4. Track quantity

Track quantity should be evaluated using the exact game or sport, set, language, region and product configuration. Separate official product facts from seller shorthand and avoid turning a chase card into an expected return.

5. Note condition

Note condition should be evaluated using the exact game or sport, set, language, region and product configuration. Separate official product facts from seller shorthand and avoid turning a chase card into an expected return.

6. Save receipts

Save receipts should be evaluated using the exact game or sport, set, language, region and product configuration. Separate official product facts from seller shorthand and avoid turning a chase card into an expected return.

Random-product rule: Do not treat the best possible pull as the product’s value. Most boxes and packs will not contain the top chase card.
