The grading was absolutley terrible. The majority of my cards were pack fresh and many of the cards I knew were sent in as NM were graded MP. I will never use this service again.

While we can understand frustration when the grading does not meet expectations, we always encourage anyone to reach out to discuss. Even if you've not requested a hold for review, we can often find many of the cards to provide evidence and discuss grades - and in most cases get on the same page. We do not make money by grading cards at a lower condition, and then selling them for a higher condition.
Most grading surprises are a result of assumptions made - for example, assuming cards right out of the pack are always near mint (especially for Secret Lairs) or that the cards opened remain in near mint condition despite being several years or a decade or more old. We always encourage customers to take cards out of sleeves/binders (which hide certain types of wear), and inspect the cards in proper lighting to avoid surprises and to not rely on assumptions.
As graded, this payout was 54.3% of TCGLow if all cards were sold as Near Mint. For a shipment containing almost exclusively ... Read more

As graded, this payout was 54.3% of TCGLow if all cards were sold as Near Mint. For a shipment containing almost exclusively sub-$5 cards (45 cards total in this shipment), most would consider that a very good payout.
For anyone considering the service, you can also select the hold for review option, which will allow you to reach out to discuss any grading surprises prior to the report being finalized.

I’m exhausted with a three year old and need the quick money. But I wasn’t happy with the grading. I sold over 3,000 worth of cards.
I literally bought brand new, never before played cards that went straight into double sleeves and somehow got some wonky medium played or worse grades.

I literally bought brand new, never before played cards that went straight into double sleeves and somehow got some wonky medium played or worse grades.
There’s some cards I’m very familiar with and could recall how LP or MP would be fair and possible.
Overall, needed things to be quick for cash and lack of hassle as a tired dad.
It’s an ok place if you need the cash but it isn’t my first choice if I had more time.

I had a great experience with sending my card to them. I had over 1500 cards that were all random, and they went through it very quickly and were able to give the money to me with no problem, whatsoever. I have already recommended it to other friends of mine. I would definitely do it again.

Never sold cards before other then local store so did not know what to expect, was a bit nervous mailing my cards for grading and selling but worked out well. Confident to send more of my cards in the future.

Overall the process was smooth with the website being clean, simple and easy to use. It was easy to go from estimating my cards into preparing and completing a shipment. With a clear process defined and updates at every stage I felt like I was aware of what was going on the entire time.
The one downside, or challenge, was that because the process is slow (shipping takes time, processing, grading, etc), it gives the card market a lot of time to shift. And because the CC team doesn’t lock prices upon arrival (or purchase like other buy lists), rather they wait until they finish inventorying, grading, etc, there’s a lot of room for change in your collection value. And for me, it tends to go down most of the time (that’s clearly an anecdotal point but a feeling I wanted to share nonetheless). So the main struggle I had was just the slow process actually affecting the sale value.

This was my first time using Card Conduit and I was very pleased with the entire process. The process was easy and efficient from start to finish. Card Conduit provided a smooth and seamless system to follow with their shipping directions and up-front advice on how to organize my cards. They were open with any delays that they faced, responded quickly when I had any questions, and were very fair and transparent about their payouts. Thanks again for the experience and I would happily use them again in the future!

Selling these individually on ebay would have taken months and months and these guys had me paid out in less than 2 weeks will little to no work done on my end. They paid a fair price and made my life easy. I had used other companies before I discovered Card Conduit and really wish I would have found them sooner. 5 stars all the way!

Good value and pain free. I highly recommend sorting the supplement yourself to save money and time.
