consideration during the authentication and inspection process.
Incorrect listing information may result in cancellation of the transaction and a cancellation fee (10% of the price) may be charged.

About quality
Minor staining, loose shrink-wrap, and other conditions that can occur at the time of manufacturing are often found in items handled by authorized dealers and for this reason are considered within the SNKRDUNK quality standards.
Please note that due to the intrinsic nature of these items, we cannot confirm the condition of trading card items prior to listing. Please understand this in advance.


If an item shows damage that is extensive enough to detract from the design of the item itself, there is the possibility that such condition may be considered to be outside our standards and therefore cannot be listed.

In addition, for details regarding our quality standards, please check the link below.


【Items that are not shrink-wrapped】
Items that have not been shrink-wrapped from the manufacturing stage may only be listed if they are in unopened condition.
However, please understand in advance that such boxes will be opened at the time of inspection to check the number of packs contained in the box.

Products annotated as "No guarantee that the box is unopened or the rarity of the cards due to the nature of the box" in the product image are eligible.


【Shrink-wrapped items】
Items that have been shrink-wrapped (i.e. with vinyl film) during primary distribution, such as Pokémon trading cards, may only be listed in this condition (shrink-wrapped).
In addition, as we allow items to be listed regardless of the sales channel, items that present the following conditions may be listed.
・Markings (with markers) on the vinyl film wrapping (shrink wrap)
・Seller's warranty seal is stamped on the box
・A bar code (tag) is attached directly to the product.
*Only barcodes (tags) that appear to have been placed by the retailer are accepted

On the other hand, the following conditions are not accepted:
・Shrink presents major looseness *Including items purchased from authorized stores
・Items with noticeable tears
・Shrink with tape attached to it
*Excluding barcodes (tags) that appear to have been placed by the seller

【Regarding items appraised by third-party authentication companies (including PSA)】
If the item is contained inside a card holder that certifies it has been authenticated by a third-party authentication company, such as PSA, we will inspect and authenticate the item as is, still inside the card holder it came into.
Please be assured that we will carefully authenticate the following details even in its original condition (i.e. inside the card holder)
・If the card holder presents signs of opening;
・If the card holder is damaged;
・If the card holder is a counterfeit.
・If the card itself (inside the holder) is a counterfeit.
*The condition of the card itself (inside the holder) will not be checked regarding if it conforms to its PSA rank.
