A few tips about making offers to cardboardportfolio.

The prices you see in the cardboardportfolio listings, are set through our own process of price discovery stemming from many different pricing factors, all in an effort to come up with a competitive market price our cards will actually sell at.  Price discovery can be tricky and frustrating. It may be difficult for you to “comp” (comparison price) some of our rare and high-grade cards. Often, this is because the card you are interested in is either very rare or may even be the highest ever graded card of that type, and there is nothing to compare it to. Only you can decide whether you feel our card is worth the price being asked, and only you can decide whether it is time to dish out your hard-earned money to take ownership of that card.

If you see a card you’re ready to buy and want to get it before someone else does, simply buy the card, pay for the card and your carefully packaged card will be in the mail by the next business day.

Tip: If we have a card you'd really like to own, and you wouldn’t be crushed if you missed out on it, make an offer at a lower price. Once we receive your offer, we'll consider the offer based on all factors that help us determine if selling the card at that price is good for all parties. Then, one of 3 things will happen. We will either accept your offer, decline your offer or counter your offer with a price we would be willing to settle for.

Another Tip: When considering the price you want to offer, please keep in mind, almost all offers asking us to reduce a single card by more than 25% are declined as soon as we see them. If we could sell our cards at 25% less, we would not only be magicians, but we would also price them lower from the onset to create faster cash flow. Faster cash flow gets us into our next great deal that much sooner. Many of our cards have a bit of wiggle room, some of our cards have almost no wiggle room. A few of them are already a loss at the price we listed them.

And Yet Another Tip: If you are interested in more than 1 card, contact us via the message system and let us know which cards you want and how much you are offering for the lot. If we can come to an agreement, a private multi-card listing can be quickly set up so you can make your purchase. Remember buying a small lot or a group of cards in one transaction gives you more buying power and spreads the shipping fee out as well.

Whether you are buying an $8 card or an $800 card, we take your transaction very seriously and respect your time. Good luck with your collecting, we’d love to be a part of it!
