A. What Is MySlabs?

MySlabs is a peer-to-peer marketplace created BY collectors FOR collectors who are seeking an alternative to the high auction and consignment fees that have become standard in the hobby. All of the inventory, pricing, and content on MySlabs is uploaded and controlled by our sellers. Users are free to buy and sell slabbed cards, sealed wax, slabbed comics and now both raw cards and raw comics all while benefiting from the most disruptive pricing model in the industry.

Our value proposition to members:

* Join a strong social media community of loyal, veteran members.

* Managed by true hobbyists with genuine subject matter expertise.

* Disruptive pricing model highlighted by a 1% seller fee on slabs and 3% on raw.

* All sellers must apply, go through screening, and be manually approved.

* Unparalleled seller protection including a limited no-return policy.

B. Guidelines and Terms of Use for MySlabs Buyers:

1) MySlabs sellers do not ship internationally, however, international members are encouraged to create a MySlabs account provided that they use a US-based shipping address (PSA Vault etc.) when creating their account in their MySlabs profile. International buyers do not need to alter their PayPal account in any way, they simply need to add their US-based shipping address into the PayPal transaction at checkout on the first screen with the ship-to information. Please note that Stripe is not currently an option for international buyers. Please also note that international sellers are allowed on MySlabs provided that they indicate the country of origin in their listing title so that buyers know ahead of time from where their slabs will be shipped (for example "Shipping from Canada"). This allows buyers to plan ahead for potential increased shipping times.

2) Sellers only ship to the domestic USA shipping address indicated on the PayPal invoice or provided by the buyer during the Stripe checkout process. There is no international shipping. Buyers can indicate any domestic United States shipping address in their PayPal account, what they edit in during PayPal checkout or during the Stripe checkout process, including those of third parties such as PSA Vault. Please do not ask a seller to ship to an address other than the one listed on the Stripe or PayPal receipt. During the checkout process it is the buyer's responsibility to provide an accurate and secure shipping address to the seller. In the event a buyer is not going to be available to take delivery of a package for any reason it is their responsibility to make arrangements to either have the package held at their post office or forwarded to another address. If this is not possible it is the buyer's responsibility to instruct the seller to delay shipment until they will be available to take delivery of the item in question. Sellers are not responsible for damage that occurs as a result of packages being held for any length of time or sitting stagnant due to a buyer's inability (for any reason) to take delivery. Sellers are also not responsible for the cost of redelivering an item that has been returned due to a mail carrier's inability to deliver the item. MySlabs makes no guarantees of any kind with regard to shipments between users. We are strictly a peer-to-peer marketplace and never touch inventory and or get involved in the fulfillment process in any way therefore MySlabs is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items. That said payments processed through PayPal may be protected by PayPal’s Purchase Protection. As such we strongly urge all buyers to carefully review the relevant guidelines and requirements dictated by PayPal in their user agreement under the section called PayPal’s Purchase Protection Program here.

3) Any offer initiated by a buyer will be valid for 24 hours or until the seller declines, the seller counters or the buyer cancels. Whichever of the four events occurs first.

4) If a seller accepts an offer, buyers are expected to pay within 24 hours. The site tracks all user actions and starts a 24 hour payment clock immediately upon a seller accepting an offer. If the 24 hour clock expires and the payment has not been made the system will automatically deactivate the buyer’s account.

5) All prices include Shipping. This is the same for all offers, there is no additional shipping cost. Sellers should set their prices and counteroffer with this in mind.

6) Fees for buyers - Fees for buyers are based on one's usage of the site therefore a 1% buyer/usage fee (calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount) is billed along with successful purchases, with the exception of PSA Vault purchases. PSA Vault purchases include a 3% buyer fee. All buyer fees will be calculated before agreeing to purchase, the total made visible for the user and ultimately must be accepted by the buyer in order to move forward with the transaction.

7) After remitting payment, buyers should keep in mind that sellers are required to ship and upload tracking directly into the MySlabs platform within 3 business days (Saturday, Sunday and federal holidays are not considered business days and therefore do not count). Please remember all MySlabs sellers must apply, go through screening, and be approved. This said please give these vetted sellers the allotted time before sending emails for updates, tracking, and so forth. If 3 business days pass and tracking has not been provided, buyers should then contact the seller for an update. If a buyer is unable to reach a particular seller (assuming the 3 business days have already passed) the buyer should then contact MySlabs support and a team member will help the buyer contact the seller in question. If MySlabs is unable to get in touch with the seller, Paypal buyers will be instructed to start a refund request via PayPal and the seller's account will be deactivated in a last attempt to spur the seller into providing an update on the card in question. Buyers should never open Paypal or credit-card claims without contacting MySlabs customer service first. Doing so may lead to the termination of the MySlabs account.

8) There are no returns, refunds, or exchanges of slabbed cards, slabbed comics or sealed wax on MySlabs. If the Buyer does not receive the item paid for or if there is substantial damage to the item inside the slab or holder, the buyer and seller should communicate and come to a mutually agreeable settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, then MySlabs may attempt to help mediate. For this reason buyers should also do enough of their own due diligence to understand exactly what it is that they are bidding on and or purchasing. Buyer’s remorse or negligence is never a valid reason for return. No case should ever be opened with PayPal, credit card companies or banks without contacting MySlabs customer service first. Doing so may result in the termination of the MySlabs account.

9) When purchasing older slabs a buyer must understand that grading agencies evolve and new technologies are often incorporated into their processes. As a result of this, tolerances may change over time. Furthermore buyers must understand that grading is subjective and is ultimately nothing more than the opinion of a grader(s) on a given day. If the goal of a purchase is to have the item crossed over, bumped or re-slabbed the buyer does so at their own risk with the understanding that the opinion they receive after the purchase may not be the opinion of the original grader(s). Buyers should also understand that continuing to resubmit the item may yield different results on every submission. Therefore, no seller will be held accountable for issues that cannot be seen with the naked eye and or tolerances/opinions of a grading company that may have changed over time.

10) If a buyer has an issue with an order they are expected to first contact the seller within 24 hours of receiving the product in an effort to come to an amicable solution. The seller's information can be found in the transaction history tab after purchase. If a buyer initiates a refund without first contacting the seller, the seller should alert the MySlabs team immediately. MySlabs reserves the right to suspend buyers who choose not to follow this best practice. We ask all buyers to have patience and kindly give sellers the opportunity to resolve the situation amicably.

11) Small scratches to the slab and or small cracks or chips do not qualify for a re-slab fee. If the damage to the slab is significant but does not threaten the integrity of the item, the buyer is due a re-slab fee from the seller. If there is significant damage to a slab or holder not visible in the images on the website that threatens the integrity of the item inside the holder and or grade, a buyer may request a refund from the seller.

12) Please inspect all raw card and comic images in each listing to determine if the item is in acceptable condition according to your own standards, despite what the seller may have it classified as. Keep in mind that according to our condition scale, all raw cards and comics likely have condition issues that may not be fully expressed in the listing. Buyers need to familiarize themselves with the scales and expect the items they're purchasing to fall in the category listed. Pointing out damage that is not listed by the seller but falls within our condition tolerances is not a reason for a return.

13) Our raw condition scales do not measure centering, print flaws or anything stemming from the manufacturing process. Buyers should study the images and make their own judgment call on these things.

14) Raw Returns: Given the subjective nature of expressing raw card and comic condition we will not be able to enforce a no return policy. In the event of a dispute or desired return, all relevant information should be forwarded to the raw card or comic customer service team by sending an email to either [email protected] or [email protected] . The email should include as many detailed pictures as possible as well as your reason for requesting a refund. MySlabs will then review all information forwarded by both parties, compare with the photos and description included in the original listing and make a ruling as to whether or not a return is warranted (by cross referencing all available information with our MySlabs raw card or comic condition scale). Once a decision has been made we expect the buyer and seller in question to respect and honor the ruling made by MySlabs. If either party pursues the issue further, we will respect the opinion of the party however the offending party's account will receive a strike (or have their raw buying and selling privileges revoked immediately if the offense is believed to be egregious enough). All buyer and seller accounts will be working on a 3-strike system. In some cases it may be determined that neither the buyer nor seller is at fault and neither party will receive a strike against their account. We acknowledge this is not a perfect process and that we can never be 100% accurate in our determinations but we do believe this to be the fairest approach for all parties involved. The customer service representatives we put in place will be well vetted, respected members of the hobby and experienced in dealing with raw items and or grading. For these reasons we cannot stress enough how important it is for sellers to upload detailed, high resolution images and to be as forthcoming and transparent as possible in their item descriptions.

15) As a community we encourage members to be understanding and respectful of one another. As such we do expect all sellers to take full responsibility for the content of their listings and to correct any errors within 24 hours of listing or last editing an item. We do ask buyers to show good faith and be understanding of the fact that a $10,000 card listed for $1,000 or a $1,500 card that is listed for $150 are in all likelihood the result of a typo and will not be honored. That said, it’s important to note that sellers who attempt to back out on or not honor completed sales due to a sudden increase in demand for a player as a result of a big game, big news, etc. will be removed from the platform.

16) MySlabs buyers agree that all purchases of both raw and graded merchandise are made as-is, at their own risk and hold MySlabs harmless in the event of a claim.

17) We encourage all members to use social media to discuss their experiences with MySlabs both good and bad. That said, any attempt by an individual to threaten the use of social media against MySlabs, it's employees or it's partners as leverage in an open dispute to obtain a solution favorable to themselves or their associates in the form of financial gain or judgment in favor of the party involved will be removed from the platform immediately and all protection and/or services typically provided by the website will be forfeited.

18) Buyers should be mindful that PayPal refunds may take 2-3 weeks in some outlying cases. MySlabs does not control the flow of funds in PayPal payment processing and thus may not always be able to influence rapid refunds. For that reason we offer alternative payment methods in which MySlabs acts as the payment processor, bypassing any outside interference.

C. Guidelines and Terms of Use for MySlabs Sellers:

* Any seller who places contact information of any kind in a listing's written description box will be promptly removed from the platform. This includes phone numbers, email addresses and social media handles including but not limited to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and so on.

1) Any grading company not specifically listed in the slab-type drop-down is NOT ALLOWED on site. Support team members are NOT able field questions as to why or when any specific company will be allowed on. All such inquiries will be referred back here for reference.

2) All cover photos (images that appear in the feed) uploaded to MySlabs must be flat and not tilted. All grading company certification numbers MUST be clear and legible. There should be no slab stands, fingers, or other objects holding up the slabs. No advertising or branding is allowed in the images. The entire slab must be in the picture and be cropped using our built-in cropper tool and as close to the slab as possible while leaving all edges and corners of your slabs visible. Horizontal slabs (slabs turned on their side) are not allowed. Slabbed products should be vertical so that flips may be read with ease. Images should be uploaded to listings showing any damage or any questionable, non-typical issue if the issue isn't obvious while looking at a front or back scan. No stock images may ever be used with the exception of wax listings. 

3) If not using a scanner, photos must be taken in well-lit areas or in light-boxes in order to be listed.

4) It’s highly recommended that raw items (cards and comics) be removed from any top-loader, penny sleeve, mylar, bag, and or holder when photographed. We understand that this isn’t always practical with lots, but presenting a raw item and more importantly its flaws in a way that are true to how they appear in person is critical. Failure to do so risks losing disputes and or strikes against one’s account.

5) Raw Card Lots: The condition of a raw card lot should be expressed as an average estimated condition of the entire lot per the MySlabs condition scale. If a lot contains a key card or cards (a card or cards worth significantly more than the rest of the lot) those cards should be featured prominently in both the lot description and images. Any seller who does not indicate (in the description and images) that the key card or cards are in lesser condition than the lot average will automatically receive a strike should an issue arise.

6) Raw Comic Lots: The condition of a raw comic lot should be expressed as an average estimated condition of the entire lot per the MySlabs condition scale. If a lot contains a key book or books (a book or books worth significantly more than the rest of the lot) those books should be featured prominently in both the lot description and images. Any seller who does not indicate (in the description and images) that the key book or books are in lesser condition than the lot average will automatically receive a strike should an issue arise.

7) As a seller it is your responsibility to maintain your inventory and prices. If a slab sells on MySlabs that has already been sold elsewhere, the seller will be required to provide a verifiable receipt demonstrating that the transaction did in fact occur prior to the MySlabs transaction or risk losing their ability to sell on site. Sellers who continuously fail to remove previously sold items from MySlabs risk having their seller status revoked.

8) Sellers on MySlabs are required to act professionally. In addition to prompt communication and fast, secure shipping, sellers are expected to always honor their sales on MySlabs (provided that they haven't sold the item elsewhere prior). Canceling a sale on MySlabs within the 24 hour payment window due to another off site offer or sale is expressly prohibited and will result in the immediate removal of the seller account.

9) Sellers should only ship to the domestic USA shipping address indicated on the PayPal invoice or that which is provided by the buyer during the Stripe checkout process. DO NOT SHIP TO ANY OTHER ADDRESS. If you ship to a different address, your seller protection will be voided by the payment processor. 

10) Fees for sellers - For a breakdown of our fee structure by category kindly refer here. In the event a chargeback or dispute is opened via Stripe against a seller, a nonrefundable dispute fee of $30 will apply. Paypal sellers also incur dispute/chargeback fees so we encourage all Paypal sellers to regularly refer to their PayPal user agreement for the most current rates for this and all fees. Please note that there are no seller fees or payment processing fees on PSA Vault Escrow items.

*We would also like to remind sellers that PayPal charges 1.5%-2% additional to process payments originating from international PayPal accounts. If a seller so chooses the following steps may be used to block payments from international PayPal accounts and or e-check payments.

Blocking eCheck and non US Payments from your PayPal dashboard:

Users must go into their PayPal profile on desktop then:

1. Select "Account Settings" >

2. Select "Payment Preferences" >

3. Select "Block Payments" >

4. Select "Update" >

5. Select "Pay with eCheck Transfer" >

6. Select " Block payments from users who: have non US PayPal accounts"

11) In the event a transaction processed through Stripe is successfully charged back by a buyer, MySlabs reserves the right to debit the seller’s bank account on file or submit an invoice to the seller to recover the balance. If the full balance is not available MySlabs will exhaust all legal avenues to recover the outstanding funds including but not limited to re-attempting to debit the seller’s account on file at various intervals. 

12) The only slabs allowed on MySlabs are PSA, BGS, BVG, SGC, CSG, CGC, and CBCS authenticated and or graded slabs. Sellers who upload slabs from other third-party graders risk account suspension. Sealed wax is allowed in the Wax section only.

13) Any offer initiated by a buyer will be valid for 24 hours or until the seller declines, the seller counters, or the buyer cancels. Whichever of the four events occurs first.

14) A seller must ship items AND upload tracking directly into the MySlabs platform within 3 Business Days. Not following this guideline will result in one's account being deactivated. If a seller is going to be busy (on vacation, other emergency, etc.) they can go into their profile and activate "Vacation Mode" which will temporarily disable all they’re for sale items. In the event of a canceled sale or refund sellers should add "canceled" or "refunded" into the tracking box (which is located in their transaction history tab).

15) All buy it now prices and best offers include shipping. There is no additional shipping cost, so all shipping costs need to be figured into the list/negotiated price. If a Buyer requests special shipping, then the seller and buyer can negotiate accordingly.

16) All items should be shipped fully insured with tracking to protect yourself as a seller. Above a certain price threshold signature confirmation is required by PayPal to be eligible for protection under their "Seller Protection Program". Sellers should refer to Paypal's guidelines for precise details, requirements and updates here. For higher dollar items USPS Registered Mail (details here) is a highly recommended option. It is the seller's responsibility to make sure their items are delivered to the address provided by the buyer in the condition stated. It is the buyer's responsibility to provide a safe, secure landing spot for sellers to ship to. The seller's responsibility ends when their package is delivered to the address listed in the transaction, assuming the product is as described and represented in the listing. In certain instances sellers may be found to be financially responsible if items are not insured. If an item is damaged, lost or stolen (pre-delivery) it is the seller's responsibility to handle insurance claims and refund the buyer after the item's return as directed through the PayPal return process (detailed here). Buyers are expected to be as accommodating as possible and provide ANY information PayPal requires that sellers may not be able to produce on their own.

17) There are no returns, refunds, or exchanges of slabbed cards, slabbed comics or sealed wax on MySlabs. If the Buyer does not receive the item paid or there is substantial damage to the item inside the slab or holder, the buyer and seller should communicate and come to a mutually agreeable settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, then MySlabs may attempt to help mediate. Any slab that falls victim to minor damage during transit which would not affect the grade given during transit shall be eligible for a re-slab fee or 1% of the total purchase, whichever is greater. Box damage will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

18) Sellers should disclose any significant scratches, chips or other damage to the slab (that is not clearly visible in the provided images) in the listing. This includes mislabeled slabs or other defects including but not limited to damage to a PSA 10 that calls the grade into question.

19) Small scratches to the slab and or small cracks or chips do not qualify for a re-slab fee. If the damage to the slab is significant but does not threaten the integrity of the item, the buyer is due a re-slab fee from the seller. If there is significant damage to a slab or holder not visible in the images on the website that threatens the integrity of the item inside the holder and or grade, a buyer may request a refund from the seller.

20) Raw Returns: Given the subjective nature of expressing raw card and comic condition we will not be able to enforce a no return policy. In the event of a dispute or desired return, all relevant information should be forwarded to the raw card or raw comic customer service team by sending an email to either [email protected] or [email protected]. The email should include as many detailed pictures as possible as well as your reason for requesting a refund. MySlabs will then review all information forwarded by both parties, compare with the photos and description included in the original listing and make a ruling as to whether or not a return is warranted (by cross referencing all available information with our MySlabs raw card or comic condition scale). Once a decision has been made we expect the buyer and seller in question to respect and honor the ruling made by MySlabs. If either party pursues the issue further, we will respect the opinion of the party however the offending party's account will receive a strike (or have their raw buying and selling privileges revoked immediately if the offense is believed to be egregious enough). In some cases it may be determined that neither the buyer nor seller is at fault and neither party will receive a strike against their account. We acknowledge this is not a perfect process and that we can never be 100% accurate in our determinations but we do believe this to be the fairest approach for all parties involved. The customer service representatives we put in place will be well vetted, respected members of the hobby and experienced in dealing with raw items and or grading. For these reasons we cannot stress enough how important it is for sellers to upload detailed, high resolution images and to be as forthcoming and transparent as possible in their item descriptions.

21) If Approved, international sellers are allowed on MySlabs, provided that they indicate the Country of Origin in their Listing Title so that Buyers know ahead of time where their items will be shipped from (for Example "Shipping from Canada"). This allows buyers to plan ahead for potential increased shipping times. Individuals shipping from vault accounts are also required to make a clear note in the listing title, so buyers are aware. (Ships from PSA Vault, etc.)

22) Payments processed through Paypal are subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of PayPal. PayPal has the sole authority to reverse all transactions executed on our platform through PayPal Marketplace. MySlabs makes no guarantees of any kind with regard to shipments between users. PSA Vault Escrow purchases notwithstanding we are strictly a peer-to-peer marketplace and never touch inventory and or get involved in the fulfillment process in any way therefore MySlabs is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items. Payments on the platform processed through PayPal are protected by PayPal’s Seller Protection. As such we strongly urge all sellers to carefully review the relevant guidelines and requirements dictated by PayPal in their user agreement under the section called PayPal’s Seller Protection Program here. In the event of a dispute MySlabs always makes a best effort to support members who we deem to be acting in good faith, but the ultimate decision on a dispute is PayPal’s.

23) As a community we encourage members to be understanding and respectful of one another. As such we expect all sellers to take full responsibility for the content of their listings and to correct any errors within 24 hours of listing or last editing an item. This is especially important if there’s an error in the listing price of an item such as leaving out a digit (e.g. $100 instead of $1,000). It’s important to note that sellers who attempt to back out on or not honor completed sales due to a sudden increase in demand for a player as a result of a big game, big news, etc. will be removed from the platform. No form or reason of seller's remorse will be tolerated. 

24) With the sole exception of pre-sale wax, sellers are required to be in possession (themselves or in a vault account they own) of all items being listed for sale. Due to the plethora of issues that often arise “market arbitrage” or the practice of listing items for sale that you are not yet the owner of is strictly prohibited. All presale items must be able to be fulfilled if listed. In the event that a purchase is not able to be fulfilled, the seller account may be suspended.

25) MySlabs makes no guarantee with regard to the condition and or authenticity of any items (raw or slabbed) listed for sale by platform sellers. By choosing to sell on the MySlabs platform sellers agree to assume full responsibility for all items they list for sale.

26) We encourage all members to use social media to discuss their experiences with MySlabs both good and bad. That said, any attempt by an individual to threaten the use of social media against MySlabs, it's employees or it's partners as leverage in an open dispute to obtain a solution favorable to themselves or their associates in the form of financial gain or judgment in favor of the party involved will be removed from the platform immediately and all protection and/or services typically provided by the website will be forfeited.

D. Raw Card Condition Scale:

* All customer service requests for raw card orders should be directed to [email protected]

Raw Card Condition Scale:

First and foremost, no card may be listed above nrmt/mt and no buyer should ever expect anything over nrmt/mt when receiving a card. Assessing condition can be extremely subjective and you are buying raw cards off of a platform that was built for graded card collectors. This means that the owners of these cards have likely reviewed the raw cards that they are listing and made the determination that the cards do not meet their own minimum condition requirements to submit for grading. That's not to say there are no gem-mint cards listed on site, however, we need buyers to understand and come to terms with the idea that the highest grade or condition they should be expecting is nrmt/mt.

MYSLABS A (nrmt/mt): A nice overall (nrmt/mt or better) card with one or more minor imperfections present. Commonly referred to as "pack fresh".

Acceptable flaws for this category include:

Corners: Two soft corners or one lightly dinged corner.

Edges: Clean overall edges free of noticeable wear.

Surface: Small, faint surface scratches not easily noticeable at first glance. Vintage may have a light wax stain or residue.

MYSLABS B (ex/nrmt): An upper-mid grade card with several minor imperfections present.

Acceptable flaws for this category include:

Corners: Up to four soft corners or two lightly dinged corners.

Edges: Light wear on edges not easily noticeable at first glance.

Surface: A light surface flaw or two that are easily noticeable.

MYSLABS C (vg/ex): A mid to lower-mid grade card with noticeable wear but not abuse.

Acceptable flaws for this category include:

Corners: Up to four slightly rounded corners. This category allows for a bent or creased corner.

Edges: Noticeable wear and or chipping throughout.

Surface: Noticeable surface flaws that may be present on both front and back.

MYSLABS D (good/vg): A noticeably damaged card.

Acceptable flaws for this category include:

Corners: Are all clearly worn.

Edges: Chipping and or damage is evident.

Surface: Noticeable surface flaws including multiple hairline creases.

MYSLABS E (poor/fair): Low grade vintage or severely damaged modern. A card with clear signs of neglect and or abuse.

Acceptable flaws for this category include:

Corners: All may be severely damaged or missing pieces.

Edges: All may be severely damaged or missing pieces.

Surface: Card may have been bent in half or have pieces missing. Multiple creases, ink stains and or water stains may be present.

* Special Raw Card Considerations:

Raw Card Lots:

The condition of a raw card lot should be expressed as an average estimated condition of the entire lot per the MySlabs condition scale. If a lot contains a key card or cards (a card or cards worth significantly more than the rest of the lot) those cards should be featured prominently in both the lot description and images. Any seller who does not indicate (in the description and images) that the key card or cards are in lesser condition than the lot average will automatically receive a strike should an issue arise. While it is suggested that raw cards be removed from any top-loader, penny sleeve and or holder when photographed we understand that this isn’t always practical with lots. That said presenting key cards from lots and more importantly their flaws in a way that are true to how they appear in person is critical. Failure to do so risks losing disputes and or strikes against one’s account.

“Factory Sealed” Raw Cards:

Higher end cards as well as several older, limited releases may come in a factory sealed one touch. In these situations having the factory sealed sticker intact is considered more desirable than if the sticker has been removed or tampered with. For this reason it may be slightly more difficult for sellers to accurately determine and convey condition. That said these cards are subject to the same grading criteria as typical (unsealed) raw cards and sellers must do their best to disclose any condition issues they are able to determine through the factory sealed one-touch.

* Redemption stickers, breaker stickers and aftermarket sealed products are NOT considered factory sealed items and are subject to the same grading standards as raw once removed by the buyer.

Relic Window Damage:

Relic windows often present interesting issues in terms of condition. To date no major grading agency outlines how these areas truly affect a grade or to what degree. Because of the nature of relic windows (having delicate edges and in some cases extremely intricate cuts) any damage should be shown in the photo gallery and detailed in the item description. Failure to note damage to a relic window may not void the sale but may lead to a strike against a seller if a claim is raised by a buyer after having received the card.

E. Raw Comic Condition Scale:

* All customer service requests for raw comic orders should be directed to [email protected]

Raw Comic Condition Scale:

The MySlabs raw grading scale is based on the standards set by Overstreet that most comic collectors are very familiar and comfortable with. We're choosing to keep the groupings more general without adding the +/- element as grading is an inherently subjective process and there will always be small differences of opinion. Even professional grading services like CGC and CBCS acknowledge that the same book may not always receive the same grade if it is submitted for grading more than once. Thus we implore all buyers to inspect all images in each listing to determine if the book is in acceptable condition according to their own standards, despite what the seller may have it classified as. Keep in mind that according to our condition scale, all raw books likely have condition issues that may not be fully expressed in the listing. Buyers need to familiarize themselves with the scale and expect the books they're purchasing to fall in the category listed.

Near Mint (NM) condition:

A strong copy that looks brand new with only a few very minor defects. Acceptable minor defects on a NM copy include a very small amount of spine stresses without color breaks, very minor instances of denting (two or three at most), slight corner blunting and or minor (less than 1/8") bends without color breaks. It's fairly common for a comic shipped new from the publisher or purchased new from your local comic shop to already be in less than near mint condition due to the way the comic was produced, shipped, stored or handled prior to purchase.

Very Fine (VF) condition:

A VF copy clearly exhibits minor defects but is in overall excellent condition. Most well-kept modern comics (especially if they have been read) fall into this grade. Acceptable defects on a VF book are minor and include: Minor corner wear, a light accumulation of spine stress that may include a color-break, a light accumulation of dents and or bends/folds of less than 1/4". Note that on a VF copy some color-break is allowed in a bend/fold.

Fine (FN) condition:

A comic in FN condition is considered "above average" but still displays some wear. In general, the eye appeal is somewhat reduced due to either an accumulation of minor defects or one or two moderate defects. Acceptable defects on a FN copy include: Slight spine roll, a moderate accumulation of spine stresses that may break color, a spine split of less than 1/2", minor water spotting or residue (less than the size of a dime), an impacted corner and or moderate foxing.

Very Good (VG) condition:

A comic in VG condition shows some significant wear but has not accumulated enough total defects to reduce eye appeal to the point that it is not a desirable copy. A VG copy may have an accumulation of minor defects or one or two major ones. Acceptable defects on a VG copy include: Spine roll, 1/2" to 1" spine splits or other tears, a cover or centerfold that is detached at one staple, discoloration due to oxidation and or a moderate accumulation of water damage or staining.

Good (GD) condition:

A GD copy has major defects but is still complete and readable. A GD copy will have a significant amount of damage, usually an accumulation of smaller defects punctuated by some major defects. Acceptable defects on a GD copy include: A vertical book-length crease, 1.5"-2" spine split, cover or centerfold completely detached, major tears, heavy discoloration/brittleness due to oxidation, heavy amounts of staining and water damage.

Fair (FR) condition:

A FR copy will have virtually no eye appeal and will display major damage. A comic book in FR condition may have non-story elements such as coupons, portions of ad pages, or Marvel Value Stamps cut or torn out of the book, but all story and art will be complete. If an entire ad page is missing that would drop the grade to Poor. Types of damage that place a comic in FR range include: A spine split of up to 2/3 the length of the book, a missing back cover provided the front cover is still attached, severe water damage, mold and or paper deterioration due to oxidation.

Poor (PR) condition:

Comic books in PR condition may be missing up to 4 pages (two spreads) of story or ad pages, have a completely split spine or display severe damage that affects the readability of the book.

* Special Raw Comic Considerations:

Raw Comic Lots:

The condition of a raw comic lot should be expressed as an average estimated condition of the entire lot per the MySlabs condition scale. If a lot contains a key book or books (a book or books worth significantly more than the rest of the lot) those books should be featured prominently in both the lot description and images. Any seller who does not indicate (in the description and images) that the key book or books are in lesser condition than the lot average will automatically receive a strike should an issue arise. While it is suggested that raw comics be removed from any mylar, bag and or holder when photographed we understand that this isn’t always practical with lots. That said presenting key comics from lots and more importantly their flaws in a way that are true to how they appear in person is critical. Failure to do so risks losing disputes and or strikes against one’s account.

Missing Elements:

Raw comic sellers must make note of any missing story pages, missing advertisements and or missing Marvel Value Stamps. Failure to do so will warrant a valid return by the buyer and result in a strike against the seller’s account.

F. You Just Made A Purchase, What’s Next?

* Please note that PSA Vault purchases have special rules and processes so users wishing to buy or sell items through the escrow service should refer here.

Congratulations on making a purchase through the MySlabs platform! Here's what you should do next and what to expect in return:

1. The first step after purchasing an item would be to remit payment via PayPal, Stripe or Wire/ACH within 24 hours. Please remember buyers who fail to do so are automatically deactivated by our system and would have to then request reinstatement, at which point in time you will need to resubmit your offer. 

2. During the checkout process it is the buyer's responsibility to provide an accurate and secure shipping address to the seller. The seller's responsibility ends when their package is delivered to the address listed in the transaction, assuming the product is as described and represented in the listing. MySlabs makes no guarantees of any kind with regard to shipments between users. PSA Vault Escrow purchases notwithstanding we are strictly a peer-to-peer marketplace and never touch inventory and or get involved in the fulfillment process in any way therefore MySlabs is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items. Payments on the platform processed through PayPal are protected by PayPal’s Purchase Protection. As such we strongly urge all buyers to carefully review the relevant guidelines and requirements dictated by PayPal in their user agreement under the section called PayPal’s Purchase Protection Program here. Payments made through the debit/credit option are protected by the creditor. Because each bank/creditor has their own unique client protection we strongly suggest familiarizing yourself with any creditor's policies you intend to use. 

3. After remitting payment, buyers should keep in mind that sellers are required to ship and upload tracking directly into the MySlabs platform within 3 business days. Please remember all MySlabs sellers must apply, go through screening, and be approved. This said please give these vetted sellers the allotted time before sending emails for updates, tracking, and so forth. If 3 business days pass and tracking has not been provided, buyers should then contact the seller with the contact email address provided in your MySlabs transaction history tab for an update. If a buyer is unable to reach a particular seller (assuming the 3 business days have already passed) the buyer should then contact MySlabs support and a team member will help the buyer contact the seller in question. If MySlabs is unable to get in touch with the seller, the buyer will be instructed to start a refund request and the seller's account will be deactivated in a last attempt to spur the seller into providing an update on the card in question. Please be patient as these situations are typically an oversight by the seller and the items more often than not have already shipped. 

4. After receiving tracking buyers are expected to remain calm and respectful should any carrier related delays occur. These delays are neither the seller's nor MySlabs' fault and are common with every courier service worldwide. No buyer should start a refund request until the item is determined to be lost or stalled at a location, typically 3 weeks after being scanned with no further update, and after speaking to the MySlabs customer service staff. It's important to keep in mind that USPS has issues several times a year during high volume shipping periods with items not updating past the label created stage. Rest assured that this is a common issue and we will monitor all cases where this occurs. In most cases the item in question is delivered without any additional updates or scans. 

5. Once a package is delivered buyers have 24 hours to report any major damage or shipping error to the seller and to MySlabs. Major damage does not include superficial scratches and or nicks on a slab that are widely accepted in the industry. If you are not going to be able to inspect your MySlabs purchases within 24 hours you should contact the seller(s) to arrange delivery for when you will be available to do so. Items being held at any location, for any reason, may also be subject to the same policy. All packaging should be saved by the buyer for MySlabs records and to be shipped back to the seller if the insurer is requiring the packaging to be inspected. 

6. Due to the subjective nature and evolution of grading, no buyer is due a refund if they attempt to cross, reholder or bump any item if no obvious damage is present (to the naked eye). A grader's unwillingness or inability to do any of these actions on any given day is not considered an absolute on the opinion of the item. 

Major damage/shipping errors include:

A. Destruction of the item due to the mail carrier.

B. Significant slab damage that calls into question the integrity of the card or grade given.

C. You've received the wrong item.

D. Obvious damage to a card that would negate the original grade given (this does not include minor issues on PSA 10's).

E. Receiving a counterfeit item (slab or card).

F. Damage to a slab (or card) that looks intentionally obscured in the seller provided images.

G. You Just Made A Sale, What’s Next?

 * Please note that PSA Vault purchases have special rules and processes so users wishing to buy or sell items through the escrow service should refer here.

Congratulations on making a sale through the MySlabs platform! Here are the next steps to take and important points to remember:

1. Buyers are required to remit payment within 24 hours of committing to purchase. Please be patient and allow buyers the allotted time before emailing for an update. Should a buyer fail to pay within the 24 hour window your item will automatically be re-listed and the buyer's account will be deactivated.

2. Sellers are required to ship AND upload tracking directly in the MySlabs platform within 3 business days from the time of sale, so as soon as you receive confirmation that the payment has been made you should be preparing your item for shipping.

3. Sellers are to ship to the address on the PayPal invoice or that which is provided by the buyer during the Stripe checkout process only. Not doing so negates all Seller Protection.

4. Shipping is at the seller’s discretion, but preferred couriers are USPS, FedEx, and UPS. Media mail is not an acceptable form of shipping. As a best practice MySlabs recommends 2 layers of packing such as a bubble mailer within a box, a box within a larger box, and so on. Bubble wrap, packing peanuts, cardboard layers, etc. are all highly recommended. No one likes damage during shipping and the resulting return requests that come as the result of poor packing. All wax shipments should be packaged securely inside of an exterior box. Boxes and cases shipped solely in the original factory packaging risk damage that may be unacceptable to the buyer and run a higher risk of being stolen through the delivery process. 

5. Regardless of the chosen courier, sellers are strongly encouraged to both insure their shipments for the full purchase price (through the carrier and or through collectibles insurance policies), to save proof of shipment and to always require a signature at the time of delivery. For higher dollar items USPS Registered Mail (details here) is a highly recommended option. If a seller chooses not to take these simple common sense precautions, options to help them in the event of a lost or damaged package become very limited. Ultimately it is the seller's sole responsibility to make sure their customers receive the item that was purchased in the condition in which it was listed.

6. After shipping, sellers are required to add tracking details to their items directly in the MySlabs platform. This is the respectful, courteous thing to do as it automatically lets their customers know that things are moving along as expected. If you choose not to purchase tracking or do not upload it in your transaction history tab to properly notify customers of shipment you risk account suspension and effectively forfeit all protection in the event of a claim. In the event of a canceled sale or refund, sellers should add "Canceled" or "Refunded" into the tracking box before publishing.

7. Sellers are expected to provide customer service on their orders. Prompt, courteous responses to reasonable email requests for updates from their customers are expected. Sellers who repeatedly fail to respond to their customers and or force their customers to file complaints with MySlabs will have their selling privileges revoked.

H. Process for PSA Vault Escrow Purchases:

All purchases of PSA Vault Escrow items MUST go through an escrow process. The MySlabs escrow service is in partnership with the PSA Vault, the official vault of PSA and Goldin. The PSA Vault team will be handling logistics, storage and final fulfillment to (or on behalf of) the buyer. All questions regarding PSA Vault orders should be directed to the MySlabs customer service team at [email protected]

What Buyers Need to Know:

* Buyers must have or create a PSA Vault Account here and enter their account information in their MySlabs profile to bid.

* Wire/ACH is the only method of payment for PSA Vault Escrow items.

* Buyers are NOT required to have a pre-funded balance to bid.

* Fees: A 3% buyer’s premium will be added to all PSA Vault Escrow purchases at checkout.

* Buyers are required to initiate payment and update their transaction’s status from "Payment Pending" to “Payment Sent” within 24 hours.

* Purchase Protection for Buyers against counterfeit items and or slabs.

The Exact Process Will Work as Follows:

1) Anyone who wishes to purchase a PSA Vault Escrow item MUST have or create a PSA Vault Account here. Buyers should then enter their account information in their MySlabs profile tab.

2) After completing checkout buyers should refer to their transaction history tab for their invoice and Wire/ACH instructions for the MySlabs escrow account. Buyers are then required to initiate the payment within 24 hours and update the transaction’s status from "Payment Pending" to “Payment Sent” in either their transaction history or action required tab. This will notify the seller as well as the MySlabs team.

3) As soon as funds are received by MySlabs the status of the transaction will display “Payment Received”. The seller will immediately be notified and instructed to ship the item to the MySlabs escrow account at the PSA Vault. A packing slip with the appropriate shipping address will be located in the seller’s transaction history tab. Sellers are required to print and include this packing slip in the package with the item for proper identification. It is the seller’s responsibility to get the item to the PSA Vault safely and as described. In this regard overnight shipping with private insurance is always a best practice that should be adhered to. As with all MySlabs transactions sellers have 3 business days to ship and upload tracking for their item. Once tracking is uploaded in the system the status of the item will be updated to “Item Shipped”

4) Once received items will be scanned by the PSA Vault team and then verified by MySlabs. Any slabs submitted via the partnership will be reviewed prior to entering the PSA Vault. In the event a slab does not pass this initial review, MySlabs will be immediately notified and funds will be returned to the buyer. The seller will also be notified of the issues and the item will be returned to them. Upon successful completion of this intake process the status of the transaction will be updated to “Item Received”. If they haven't already done so, at this point sellers should provide their banking information to the MySlabs team via the "Payout Request Form" located in their transaction history tab.

5) After verification, MySlabs will transfer the item to the buyer’s account at the PSA Vault and pay out the seller via Wire/ACH. At this point the transaction’s status will be updated to “Transaction Completed” and the buyer will see their item in the PSA Vault and will have access to all services provided by PSA Vault. All shipping and insurance costs associated with shipping to or on behalf of the buyer are the sole responsibility of the buyer and will be paid directly to the PSA Vault. Once in the PSA Vault all items are subject to the terms, conditions and fees outlined on their website here.

6) Fees: A 3% buyer’s premium will be added to all PSA Vault Escrow items at checkout. The seller fee for all PSA Vault Escrow items will be 0% and there are no payment processing fees. Sellers will receive 100% of the agreed upon price between them and the buyer.

7) Only cards and comic books slabbed and authenticated by the grading companies specifically listed in the respective slab-type drop-downs may be listed in the PSA Vault Escrow sections (no raw singles or raw lots whatsoever). MySlabs reserves the right to move or delete any items not appropriately listed at its discretion. This is including but not limited to listings with poor quality images that either aren't cropped properly or lack clarity. Sellers of PSA Vault Escrow items should be providing as much detail as possible and are encouraged to use more than the 2 photo minimum to do so.

8) Only boxes and cases that are wrapped/sealed by BBCE and or the original manufacturer may be listed. Unsealed boxes with loose packs and unsealed cases with loose boxes are NOT allowed in the PSA Vault Wax section.

9) Both buyers and sellers can monitor the current status of their PSA Vault Escrow orders in their Transaction History tab. A transaction's current status will always be displayed as one of the following:

* PAYMENT PENDING - Buyer has committed to purchase via checkout but has yet to initiate the Wire/ACH.

* PAYMENT SENT - Buyer has confirmed that the Wire/ACH has been initiated on their end.

* PAYMENT RECEIVED - MySlabs has received funds from the buyer.

* ITEM SHIPPED - Seller has shipped the item and uploaded tracking information.

* ITEM RECEIVED - MySlabs has received the item in its PSA Vault escrow account.

* TRANSACTION COMPLETED - MySlabs has verified and transferred the item to the buyer via their PSA Vault account. MySlabs has also initiated the pay-out to the seller.

10) MySlabs Buyer Protection: As part of our ongoing commitment to our members and bettering the industry, MySlabs has secured an insurance policy to assist in the unlikely event that an item purchased through our escrow service is deemed inauthentic. To file a claim under this policy buyers must follow this process:

A. All claims must be made within 60 days of the item being removed from the PSA Vault by the buyer never to exceed 240 total days from the date the item entered the PSA Vault. This means that if a buyer leaves their asset in the PSA Vault for 180 days they have an additional 60 days to file a claim with MySlabs. If a buyer takes the item out at any point prior to 180 days, the 60 day claim window starts the day it leaves the PSA Vault. If a buyer leaves the asset in the PSA Vault beyond 180 days they would have the balance of 240 days to file a claim.

B. Once a complaint has been filed MySlabs will collect all relevant information including but not limited to buyer concerns. If there is enough compelling evidence to question the authenticity of the item we will recommend sending the item to PSA for review.

C. Should the item be deemed inauthentic by PSA the seller of the item will be held accountable and fully responsible to the buyer and/or MySlabs for any loss or damages which at minimum will be an immediate and full refund. Should the seller fail to fully reimburse the buyer in a reasonable timeframe, for any reason, MySlabs may opt to cover the debt and subsequently pursue the seller for the full balance by all means necessary.

D. By using the PSA Vault escrow service both buyers and sellers acknowledge and agree to both MySlabs and PSA Vault terms and conditions in full. Sellers acknowledge that they alone are financially responsible for any loss a buyer may sustain due to an item being deemed inauthentic both during the MySlabs escrow insurance window and at any point afterwards. Sellers also acknowledge that while MySlabs may cover a buyer's claim they are responsible for reimbursing MySlabs for any financial loss or damages resulting from an authenticity claim.

11) Because MySlabs has no way of controlling the environment in which BBCE wrapped and or factory sealed boxes and cases are opened, buyer protection on sealed wax only goes as far as the wrap or seal itself. Therefore, any authenticity claim must be made PRIOR to opening the wrap or seal. If a buyer does make an authenticity claim within the allotted 120 day window and it's then determined that a wrap or seal has been tampered with or broken in any way, all buyer protection is forfeited.

c. PSA Vault Escrow items that are sold and later found to be counterfeit as confirmed by the original grading agency through the "MySlabs Buyer Protection" process.
