It was very easy to send a large amount of cards at buylist costs and be updated throughout the process.

However I strongly disagreed on some of the conditions of cards that were determined. I had many high value $50-100 cards and they were all assessed to be HP-MP condition, lowering their value massively. They say they use TCGPlayer for condition criteria but the ironic part is that I bought all these cards as NM from TCGPlayer themselves and didn't use them since.

How can the cards be Near Mint when I buy them from TCGPlayer and then Heavily Played when I sell them to Card Conduit after not using them?

The process was quick, although I was expecting a hire return in funds but also knew a lot of the cards in the stack were worth pennies to almost nothing.

The submission and grading process was extremely easy on my end. The customer service was prompt and friendly when I asked for pictures to confirm my collection arrived undamaged. Unfortunately, I don't think the payoff was worth it. I have my whole collection catalogued on Archidekt, and the price estimation feature lists it from $1,613 to $3,139 depending on the vendor (with all cards set to "moderately played"). Card conduit valued my collection at less than half that price, and took their additional percentage. If you're looking for ease, they're great. If you're looking for a good price, look elsewhere.

I would highly recommend using this service if you need to sell your cards. I sold out of my EDH collection, and overall my experience was good but I should have read reviews about their grading. I had several old EDH staples in foil, bought from a variety of vendors over the years (Card Kingdom, SCG, TCGPlayer, etc.) and many of them were graded and sold by these vendors as NM. These foils were beautiful, and were well taken care of. Double sleeved and in a binder. It was a bit of a shock to see how low some of those cards were graded by Card Conduit. Some of the cards, especially the old NM ones, were downgraded to MP. Long story short, if you have old cards to sell, particularly foils, sell those to Card Kingdom or on ebay instead. If I could do it over again, that is what I would do. Other than that, I was very happy with their service.

The process was easy to complete and auto sort option was great. Did not love the overall compensation so be aware that the value will not match what you expect. That is to say the service did what it said, but I likely would just hold my bulk in the future.

To be honest I had to attempt this shipment like 5 times, half of it was my fault. But here are somethings I learned. Better have the portion of your collection you are wanting to sell ready in some online archive like moxfield that can easily be exported. Now that doesn't mean the import is perfect, if a card is unique it might confuse it with another set. They need to be more transparent with how they are getting market prices and what cards are acceptable, 50 cents is definitely not their set point. Prices for cards were already low but then grading will put it even lower, some were fair others not so much. Like for instance I sold a Witches Clinic that has never been played, still rated it MP. A little disappointed but it is kind of expected with selling a collection The more work you put in the more you save but really you need to know what you are willing to do. All in all my experience was just okay, it works especially if you need to sell stuff relatively quickly.

Process was easy and professional, but only 1 out of 500 cards was marked as near mint and the most expensive cards happened to be the ones that were graded as heavily played or damaged, so my interest in sending you my tens of thousands in good cards is now at 0%, but I will probably send another round of junk cards.

The process was very easy, the payment time was a bit longer than expected, but on the plus side, it meant I could sell these cards I had no use for. Unsure how to change the condition of the cards, and it feels like a lot of cards got downgraded unnecessarily.

Overall satisfied, but it could use some improvement, maybe clear outlines of what counts as NM, LP, MP, and such.

The process was very easy, and prompt. I was however a little disappointed with the value I got back. I use manna box and frequently check tcg player.

The process was very easy, and prompt. I was however a little disappointed with the value I got back. I use manna box and frequently check tcg player. I was told that some of my higher value foils were “clouded” and I was dinged for card quality a bit more than I thought was fair. I only recieved a little more than $8.00 for a foil super shredder. I feel like having to take the cards out of sleeves caused this issue. I tried to pack them as tightly as I could, but shipping carriers don’t treat things with the best of care at times. The market value I assessed on my cards was about $800. I was hoping to get about 60% of that, $450-$480. I recieved $367 dollars. I feel that was a bit low.

You’ll have far more luck getting reasonable grading from Card Kingdom. I’m no professional, and again, I’m sure they’ll write me off as some jaded dork who expected too much, but when the high end of your trade in is $900, and you end up with less than $500, for well-cared for cards, something is amuck.

The process is easy, and if you’re looking for a quick turnaround, this may still be the simplest route.

I was not impressed with the quality of grading I got one particular card, but I have overall had great experiences with this service, so I cannot complain on the whole.

The card grades felt sus, report doesn't actually show you why the cards got the grade just how you graded them. But I needed the money so I didn't really have a choice and I feel like you guys know/use that to your advantage to down grade more liberally.

Very easy way to sell a lot of cards but my payout went down a sizeable amount for many cards being deemed “lightly played.” I understand they have to make a profit but I know they were a bit liberal with slapping LP on near mint condition cards to make more money. Oh well

Overall the process was easy to navigate from start to finish. I just highly disagree with some of the grading. I bought a majority of the cards at LP and they were doubled sleeved immediately so not sure how they became damaged all the sudden. I wont be using this service again

I sent in about 15,000 cards through the new AutoSift order. Honestly, the hardest part was finding a box and enough tape that I felt comfortable shipping that many cards in.

I sent in about 15,000 cards through the new AutoSift order. Honestly, the hardest part was finding a box and enough tape that I felt comfortable shipping that many cards in.

This new service definitely looks promising. However, I’m taking off two stars due to some unexpected requests and a slower process than advertised.

After submitting my order (which was within the stated price and quantity limits), support asked me to create a second AutoSift order due to an internal administrative process on their end to handle large submissions. I complied, but I’m still unclear why this was necessary if my original order met the published guidelines. All I know is that this helps them out.

But because of this request, the payout timeline was impacted. Based on the original estimates, I should have already been paid for the full submission. Instead, splitting the order pushed the processing time for the remaining half back by an additional two weeks (showing March 5th). I was assured by support this wouldn't be the case, but it appears they were wrong (or the website doesn't have the exact date due to the nature of the unusual order?).

Also worth noting: the information currently reflected for this shipment only covers half of the original AutoSift order.

Overall, promising concept, but the backend process and communication around large orders could use improvement.

I will update the final score with the final review of this service and will post a more detailed review on Reddit. Stay tuned.

I felt this shipment was undergraded. Almost all of the 120 cards I sent were unplayed, the only wear on them was from sitting in boxes for years. Over half these cards were graded as LP or MP and I feel more of them should have been graded NM. Oddly, the only cards that were used in a deck were ... Read more

I felt this shipment was undergraded. Almost all of the 120 cards I sent were unplayed, the only wear on them was from sitting in boxes for years. Over half these cards were graded as LP or MP and I feel more of them should have been graded NM. Oddly, the only cards that were used in a deck were the 2 Trumpeting Carnosaurs and they were graded NM! Downgrading this shipment cost me about $80 from NM condition. I don't think I will sell any more cards to this vendor, as the grading seemed to get stricter with each shipment I sent. This review reflects my latest shipment to Card Conduit.

I would have thought for 50% value it would be faster, this is definitely not something most people should use. Mid payout at Mid speed

hmm, something's off, i may be confused on gradin values.

The convenience and ease was fantastic. My main complaint is that the grading seemed harsher than usual tcg player standards, and thusly my payout was less than expected, even when I curated my own cards
