Typically this company is reliable and responsive, however they lost over 1000 dollars worth of product from this order. The concerned cards included a Raised Foil Bellow the Bard and SLD Kaalia. They assured me they reviewed their process and that I must have misplaced them. After nearly 3 months of scouring for them I can assure you this is not the case. I'm sure they will reply with an explanation, just know it's in their best interest to dissuade you from taking this warning seriously.

I would never recommend card conduit, I believe with tens of thousands of cards I made about $10 total after the shipping fees. Cards were undervalued left and right, they penalize you with an absurd fee if they aren’t sorted before sending them as if that isn’t totally reasonable for such a petty service to do. Would never use again

Don’t do it. Keep your cards. They say they follow TCG Player guidelines, it’s a lie. They are either damaging the cards after arrival, faking the grades or using a microscope to look for imperfections. I absolutely hate that I’ve sent them my cards. I will never do it again, and I hope this stops at least one person from making my mistake. I loathe this company. I hate that I ever heard of them. It’s a sham. If I could have them sent back at this point I absolutely would. The payout isn’t worth what was sent in.

I sent in about 50 cards a couple of where older and had seen plenty of play. But the mass majority of them were all straight from booster, pack to binder and in mint condition. Yeah, they rated all of them as lightly played and gave me almost half the quoted value of the cards

The cards’ ulimate value depends on the condition as determined by the Card Conduit grader and it will generally be 1-4 grades lower than expected. It is fine to only pay DMG price on big foil cards, but that should be disclosed. Their grading is done to fit in the price they are willing to pay/what their buyer is willing to pay. The estimated value of my shipment was way too high and caused me to over-insure the shipment and not check around with other vendors. Easy way to get rid of cards, I just wish the grading accurately reflected the actual condition of the cards and Card Conduit could adjust their payout and payout estimates accordingly.

I sent a bunch of cards that had never been in a deck to Card Conduit. Their graders are extremely hard on cards. I sent 2 shipments to another site, and got much better grades on cards that were not as nice as the ones I sent o CardConduit.

The process was decently easy, I packed my cards with great care and unsleeved all but two or three cards of the around 2,000 I sent per the demands of the instructions on CC. I scanned all my cards and imported the list of correct printings and conditions to multiple apps/websites and verified many of the conditions with my two LGS’s that I frequent. The sent value from what I scanned was about $3600, after the report card conduit sent me after having all my cards they offered me around $1,799 saying that the condition of most of them were moderately played even though I hadn’t played at all with over 90% of the cards and packaged them as directed by CC. Nearly all the cards I sent had been sleeved or in a binder their entire lives and were in near mint, impeccable condition. I don’t smoke and am an adult who greatly cares for his cards. Most cards I pull from packs I use gloves and immediately sleeve.
I desperately needed the money to help fund my wedding, but I felt absolutely ripped off by card conduit and disrespected from their evaluations of my cards. If I had more time I know I could’ve made significantly more money selling them individually and on my own, rather than what I received from CC. I deeply regret selling my cards to CC, it felt like a deal to the devil, but I needed the money more than the cards that of most were sitting on a shelf in my closet in sorted boxes. It took CC what felt like forever to get to my order and start sorting my cards, but maybe my impatience was because I was selling out of desperation. I have told all of my friends who have since sold many cards to avoid CC at all costs if possible and that it absolutely 100% was not worth it. They have sold collections of similar value with more work from themselves via Mana Pool but got significantly more back. As I titled my piece, convenience, but at too great of a cost.

We do our best to ensure expectations are set ahead of time, including timing and value expectations. We want every customer to exit each transaction feeling like the service was worthwhile, and that the expectations they had coming in were met or exceeded.
This shipment contained just under 1400 cards (not the 2000 cited in the review). The maximum possible payout if everything had been near mint was approximately $2,250 before our fees. The TCGLow value of the cards if everything was near mint was about $3,115 (not the $3600 cited in this review). Our typical fees for this transaction type (Standard) is 10% + $0.03 per card - or roughly $267 if everything was near mint.
The shipment was completed within 7 business days of the package's receipt - which is in line with our stated timeline for Standard shipments. We assessed this shipment before our fees at $1,894. Rather than the typical fee amount, we upgraded this shipment to just 5% fees, resulting in a savings of about ... Read more

Rather than the typical fee amount, we upgraded this shipment to just 5% fees, resulting in a savings of about $136. Selling cards on your own via a marketplace will typically result in a better payout than using our service, though the time and effort to sell 1400 cards would be significant. There are also substantial costs associated with selling via marketplaces, especially when the average card value is on the lower side of things ($2.25 average card value at TCGLow, in this case). To sell 1400 cards, you might expect to ship 100-300 packages over a period of several weeks/months. The cost of shipping, marketplace fees, materials/supplies, and lost packages/disputes would be significant - not to mention the time/labor to package and mail those cards.
We do allow customers to review their results on all shipments before they are finalized. This customer specifically stated they did not want any cards returned due to needing the money urgently. We are willing to return entire shipments to customers at our own expense, and this can be an important option when we cannot get on the same page on the evaluation of the cards. The customer is correct that selling the cards individually on their own would have resulted in a better financial result, but the cost to sell a collection like this should always be factored into whether our service is worthwhile. We did our best to offer the best value for this mix of cards, including a reduction in our fees, and feel that the result here was exceptional verses other selling options.

Process was easy. That is probably the only part of this that is redeemable. They don't take a massive cut, and they don't buy them for too much under tcg low. BUT, they grade like asshats. Calling a week old fresh pack rip moderately played so they don't have to give you $60 for it, they have to give you 40. Just to relist it as near-mint on their TCG marketplace. Or take any $1-2 card and grade it low enough so it dips under 50¢ and they won't have to pay you for it. These guys are professional scammers trying to give you as little as possible. Everything looks good on the front end, business side of things. But as soon as they have your cards they turn into thieves. Never using again, I'd rather sell on TCG myself after this experience. Turning a $4000 collection + 5 boxes of bulk into ~2500 because "cards can be moderately played out of the pack" is some serious scam shit

The best you can do if you are surprised by any grades is to reach out to us. We are always happy to provide context, pictures, and support for the grades we have assigned the cards. This is the reason every shipment sent in has the opportunity to review before we finalize it - we want you to be happy with your shipment, and if you are unhappy, we are more than willing to return your cards to you at our expense. We must grade cards in the condition they are received, though, and that cannot and does not factor in how recently it was opened from a booster pack.
Most importantly in response to this review, the grade we assign every card in every shipment is the grade it is listed for sale. The allegation that we do otherwise is false.

The process was easy, and for the cards that weren't as valuable pricing and grading was fair, however for the most valuable card I sent in, a Silver Scroll Vampiric Tutor being graded at Moderately Played was disappointing. Every card shop near me has said the card was lightly played at the worst, and it's disappointing that Card Conduit would grade it lower based on damage that TCGplayer says is LP.
If you have a lot of cards you're looking to sell, the service is decent and convenient, just make sure you save anything extremely valuable to sell yourself and don't hesitate to have those cards sent back after getting the news that they believe your card is in much worse condition than it actually is.
And as an update to the review several weeks later, I sold the Vampiric Tutor to an LGS, and they fairly and correctly graded the exact same card as Lightly played, giving me a SIGNIFICANT amount more than card conduit offered. Absolutely be cautious sending cards in, know what they're worth, know the condition they're in, and do NOT hesitate getting them sent back if this happens to you too.

Everytime I ship the cards are fresh out of the pack and I get 20 or 30 percent less than the actual value amount because you keep marking as LP or MP

Hello,
I apologize for not responding sooner as I needed to take the time to word this as kindly as I can. That being said, here we go;
I am appalled by your services. The above cards mentioned were all near mint (NM) as they have only ever seen their packaging, a protective sleeve in a protective binder and then the box sent to your facility. It was obvious that your business had an agenda to downgrade high value cards. None of my foils have ever seen a table top or spent time outside of the protective binder. You listed cards in the same set, bought at the same time, same box and lowered them from NM to lightly played. Granted, I do accept some of my cards I didn’t purchase had lower values than the NM snapshot. However, ALL of my foils were near mint because I don't play them. I don't just claim this, as I had extensive experience grading baseball cards during summer hours in high school.
I'm disappointed I didn't heed the warning my friend gave. Normally when someone/some place takes advantage of me, I roll over. As far as I'm concerned your business stole over $100 from me. Just 2 cards downgraded are a $20 loss. The truth is I want your company to succeed on the merits of honest and thorough work ethics. While your grading system comes off as thievery, I was very satisfied with your turn around times.
I didn’t intend to broadcast on the Internet that your system is dishonest, but you auto generated a review request. Blasting anyone is not my intent, but I'm justifiably angry. Moving forward I will not recommend your business to my friends or future people I meet. I truly hope that you're able to take this feedback and improve your process for a prosperous and valued service that I think many MTG players could use. I don’t blame anyone personally, but those that push their vision and agenda of dishonesty so they can reap the benefits of paying less for more.

Quoted me a price before sent in, sorted at better values than I gave them in the estimate, the paid way less, I accepted as I just wanted the cards out of the house.. they paid $0 on 10lbs of cards on 1 of my 3 boxes.. I will never ever.. ever use them again or recommend anyone ever even spitting in the direction of this company.

Severly lower value than the buy list quoted even though I graded my cards lower than what they graded in the finals.. a $30 card went to $10 and such.. on top of that a entire shipment they said was $0.. will never use again and will highly recommend people stay away from this predatory company.

Convenient but the grading is way too harsh. All of my cards were extremely undervalued and I recieved less than 50% of the estimated value of my collection.

Do not buylist your foils/secret lair cards here. Was very disappointed by their gradung. NM foils/secret lair cards were consistently graded much lower and LP were graded very low. Have used this service for years and was very disappointed with my most recent buylist. Service was very fast and streamlined as always. They are the easiest place to sell your cards. But NM foils that would’ve graded NM elsewhere were graded harshly.

You are much better off selling your cards locally or to a larger gaming shop because they usually pay more. I would only suggest using this service if you need cash quickly. Even then the process is slow and the final payout is insufficient. They are far too strict with their grading standards just to make more money from you. It is definitely worth looking into other options first.
