Grading

To make life simple for our customers, Wizard's Tower only sells cards in 4 conditions: "Near Mint ", "Slightly Played", "Moderately Played", and "Heavily Played".

NM = Near Mint

Cards in Near Mint condition show minimal to no wear from shuffling or general play. A card graded in Near Mint condition is generally indistinguishable from cards in an unsleeved deck of other Near Mint cards. Foils in this category have very little or no scuffing or clouding on the front.

SP = Slightly Played

Cards in Slightly Played condition show definite, minor wear. Examples of cards in this grade include cards with mild border wear, minor corner wear, slight scratching, or scuffing/loss of sheen on the front due to play wear. Foils in this condition will generally have some clouding or wear on the front of the card. Sleeves may or may not be needed to play these cards in a tournament.

MP = Moderately Played

Cards in Moderately Played condition show moderate wear but are still legal for tournament play if sleeved. Examples of cards in this grade include cards with moderate corner wear, moderate border wear, moderate whitening on the back or front face of the card and major scratching.

HP = Heavily Played

Cards in Heavily Played condition show extreme signs of wear from play. Examples of cards in this grade include cards with extreme whitening on the corners and/ or borders on the front and/or back of the card. Possible water damage.Signs of little to extreme creasing may be present on the corners or within the card. Cards in Heavily Played condition are generally not tournament legal even while sleeved. 

**Damaged

We do not sell or buy cards that would be considered damaged. Damage to cards includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Water damage

Tears/rips/punctures

Sharpie marks or other forms of marking (i.e. stamps, signatures, other writing)

Folds

Substance residue (i.e. food residue, bodily fluids)

**Defective cards

Why did my Buylist Change?

Cards could be removed from the buylist during the approval process if we already have enough copies coming in from other customers. This happens because unlike when customers buy cards from us, cards that customers are selling to us do not get added into inventory until we receive them. This could lead to multiple customers and instances of the same card trying to be sold to us. To negate this, we may remove items from your buylist during the approval process.

 

You could see a difference in the price and grading of cards from the first processed email to the final email. This is because we do two passes for grading on all cards coming into the store for grading accuracy purposes. This could cause some cards to be corrected during the second grading process. After the grading process is completed, returns are grouped with stickers under categories to denote roughly why your cards were returned. This may include, but is not limited to:

Cards submitted as the incorrect Finish or Set.

Cards submitted do not meet our minimum quality standards.

Cards were still submitted even after being removed during Approval.

 

If you are not sure what condition one of your cards is in, feel free to email us a photo before submitting your order and we will be happy to give a preliminary grade. This grade is not guaranteed as scans do not always show the exact condition. Wizard's Tower does not allow anyone to cash out any existing or new Store Credit in exchange for cash.

 

All cards not accepted will be held for 30 days and are the responsibility of the sender to have them returned at their cost. After 30 days, any rejected cards not returned to sender will be donated to local players in our community.

 

Please choose one of the following options to have your rejected cards returned to you:

- You can pay for shipping to have your cards returned to you. 0-30 cards will cost $1.94 to ship via Canada Post Letter mail, 31-99 cards will cost $3.24 to ship via Canada Post Letter mail, and any amount of cards over that will vary in cost depending on the amount. Please feel free to reach out to enquire about shipping costs.

- You can choose to pick them up in-store.

- You can place an order with our online store and have the cards mailed to you with the order you place. If you choose this option, please make sure in the order notes that you quote the Buy Order #'s from which the returned cards would be from.

- You can choose to leave the cards with us, and we will donate the cards to our new players.

Quantities of the finish, version, and set of each card on our buylist are listed separately.

We reserve the right to remove cards from the buylist at any point at our discretion.

 

Why was my Buylist rejected?

A full rejection of a buylist occurs when there is a consistent pattern of infractions against our Buylist policies.

There are many factors that could contribute to a full rejection of a buylist. These reasons include, but are not limited to:

Multiple signs of sharpie/ marked cards.

Multiple signs of fake cards.

Buylist is completely damaged.

Buylist is out of order.

Buylist is sleeved.

Buylist emits a non-neutral scent. *

*Buylists emitting a non-neutral scent are subject to immediate full rejection as scent cannot be regulated and poses a quality risk to existing inventory.

 

Payment Options, Issues, & Trade Credit Bonuses

Paypal payments and Cheque payments are completed each Sunday.

For Paypal payments, if you need it sooner, you can email us to request payment. PayPal payments are sent to the email address provided upon initial buylist submission. Paypal payments are made in CAD. Paypal fees for international customers will be removed from the buylist payment.

We are not responsible to pay any custom costs for buylists sent to us from outside of Canada. If there is a customs fee when we receive the buylist, it will be rejected and sent back to you.

You can also receive a 30% bonus if you would rather trade your cards for Store Credit. If you would like to trade instead of selling your cards, choose Store Credit as your payment option when submitting your buylist and we will issue you Store Credit.
