Shipping and everything great. Timely. Biggest problem was I didn't love the grading without explanation. Like what was wrong/ pics of problems

The process was easy, this was the first order I have sent in where the amount was very different than what was initially displayed when I initially shipped my order. Otherwise it’s the easiest company to send cards into.

Process was relatively easy. Wish there was more transparency on what the payment for cards would be. Like an estimate before shipping. I may have missed that feature though. All and all a good experience

The process was fairly quick and easy. Sort foils out and separate. Take sleeves off. My only gripe is that communication was a bit slow. When dealing with high value deals you want good support. I would recommend the service for someone who has an untracked collection.

The out of pocket shipping costs was half of what i made back.... also cards all facing the same direction was not highlighted as well as it should have been

Process was easy, decent value for cards. Ofcourse the more expensive cards submitted are allegedly lower quality condition. I highly disagree with a lot of the cards placed in the lower condition brackets. Because they'll probably be sold in the NM category.

I am selling most of my collection, and I used card conduit for part of that process. I sent in a box of cards worth $1-5 (with a few exceptions) because in large quantities that is something much harder to sell in person. Overall my experience was positive.

Extremely easy and streamlined process. Quick payment that followed the guidelines they set. I’d recommend taking pictures of all cards you send before submitting because several of my more valuable cards were magically lightly played despite being sleeved straight from pack. If I wasn’t so hard pressed for the money I would’ve fought harder, but here we are. Still the best way to sell bulk cards or higher value lots.

I had used Card Conduit in the past and knew what to expect this time around. The process was very quick, and the amount I received for the cards was reasonable. There is no other place you can simply ship your cards to and receive a check in the mail. I would use them again.

The process was easy, and I was pleased with the expected value before shipping my cards in. I was a little surprised that some cards were graded Lightly Played, since everything I sent came from freshly opened sealed product. At first, that felt a little frustrating because once the cards are sent in, there isn’t much recourse. After reading more about grading, though, I learned that cards can come out of a pack with imperfections that keep them from qualifying as Near Mint. In the end, the grading felt fair enough that I would use Card Conduit again.

My bigger criticism is expectation setting. There is a lot of room for disappointment between the estimated value and the final payout. Some of that is grading, but some is simply market depth. If you have two copies of the same card, for example, the first may sell near the expected market price while the next available buyer may be willing to pay substantially less. In a thin market, selling even a small number of copies can move the realized price noticeably.

That is perfectly understandable, but it is difficult for a customer to anticipate. I think Card Conduit would benefit from being a little more conservative with the value it presents before shipment. Even something as simple as slightly discounting the Near Mint estimate, with an explanation that final value can be affected by grading, market movement, and limited market depth, would set expectations better.

In my case, even freshly opened cards ended up realizing roughly 10–15% less than the initial estimate. I ultimately felt the result was reasonable, and I plan to use the service again. I just think a more conservative estimate upfront would make the final result feel less like a disappointment and more like what customers were prepared to expect.

The auto-sifted option was perfect for my collection of over 2,500 cards. I didn't get as much as i would have liked but the process was close to effortless; unsleeved some cards, separated foil and non-foil, and make sure they were all the same direction. I had gotten close to 55% of my estimated m ... Read more

The auto-sifted option was perfect for my collection of over 2,500 cards. I didn't get as much as i would have liked but the process was close to effortless; unsleeved some cards, separated foil and non-foil, and make sure they were all the same direction. I had gotten close to 55% of my estimated market price, where i was hoping to see closer to 70% like a friend had described to me

I did the auto shift process and 10/10 saved me a ton of time. The grading was definitely on the harsher side but i understand that this is a business and they need to make money too. I will definitely sell my bulk again through here but probably send my higher end cards to card kingdom or tcg for greater value. But i will be using this service again.

I don't agree with som eof the grading and i wish it was a bit more transparent, but if you need cash it gets the job done.

Everything was actually fast and easy, just don't expect your cards to be accepted as near mint. Most of my cards were marked LP and were straight out of the pack, foils sleeved when opened. So if you ignore the NM and expect the LP price it will be a good experience

I really like their service but it seems their cut of the total value is a bit high. I’m not expecting 100% and I know they have to pay someone to do the sorting but still would be nice to have more of a clear expectation rather than a sort of surprise. Over will use again and recommended then to anyone needed to clear out a collection.

Overall I have been pretty satisfied with this company, my only complaint is that in a previous order they marked the highest value card I sent as Moderately Played when nearly every other card I sent got graded Near Mint.

Overall I have been pretty satisfied with this company, my only complaint is that in a previous order they marked the highest value card I sent as Moderately Played when nearly every other card I sent got graded Near Mint. So it kind of felt like they did that just to give me less money. I haven't had that issue again, but it still stings a little.

Still using the service cause its so easy and quick to use. Your mileage may vary, but I'm overall satisfied.

Process was easy but not what expected after watching commercials

1,862 cards total, 4 separate sorted shipments.

I want to start by saying their service is exceptional! Those who value time will appreciate this service. The grading was on par with what I believe my card conditions are, and my friends and I know how subjective I am when it comes to condition. I had 1 damaged card in the shipment, and they nailed it. Hailey was also very helpful over email and gave me clear explanations whenever I had questions.
I was initially hesitant to send my cards in because of reviews saying they tend to downgrade conditions. That was not my experience at all, especially because I know my cards intimately.

A WARNING for submitters: after your cards have been graded and processed, if you want more than 15 cards returned (around 90 in my case), it is a show stopper. They will not grant the request and would rather send the entire shipment back. I had explained that the majority of my list was on one spreadsheet, but that was disregarded. I asked if there was a limit on returns and was told via email that there is a 15-card limit. I wish I had known about this beforehand, as I could not find that information on their webpage.
It does sadden me that I could not get my childhood cards back. I still can't wrap my head around why they can't remove requested cards from a sorted list that I sorted, but would instead ship the entire order back so I can remove them and then resubmit everything for the entire process again. Maybe it's a tedious process...I don't know.
Regardless, I decided to let it go and move on. Someone else will enjoy my nice vintage foils, and I'm glad of that.

Thank you, Card Conduit, for responding to me during the issue. I hope in the future you can develop a system that allows more than 15 cards to be removed from a sorted list.

TL;DR: Great service, fair grading, and Hailey was very helpful. Just know that if you want more than 15 cards returned, forget about it.

Process was self explanatory. The verification process was reasonable.
