Getting your submission ready

1. Fill in all the lot details following the submission flow and write a clear description

When you submit an object, you’ll see fields to guide you in providing the right information, e.g. type of object, condition, etc. These fields ensure your listing is clear, searchable, and easy for bidders to understand.

Please also use the object description field to share:

  • Unique features or notable history of the object
  • What is included/not included (e.g. packaging). For objects like sets or albums clearly state if they are partial or complete.
  • Where the object came from/how it was obtained
  • If the object has any flaws or signs of wear (scratches, fading, bends, marks)

Tip: The more detail you provide, the easier it is for bidders to understand the value of your object – and the more likely it is to sell. Find here more tips on how to write a clear, accurate description.

2. Great photos matter

Photos are the first thing bidders see – so make them count! We recommend including 6 to 12 high-quality images that clearly show the condition and details of your object. This helps bidders make informed decisions and increases your chances of a successful sale.


Your photos should include:

For all submissions:

  • Front and back of the card or sticker
  • Close-ups of grading labels, authentication marks, or serial numbers
  • Photos of any flaws or damage (if applicable)

Additional images by object type:

  • Sticker albums: Full cover + internal pages
  • Sealed packs: Front and back, clearly showing all four corners
  • Sealed boxes: All sides and angles
  • Graded cards: Professional scans from the grading company (downloadable from PSA, SGC, CGC, etc.)

Tip: Use a neutral background (white or black), avoid low-quality or stock images, and aim for natural lighting. Find here more tips on how to take professional photos.


📌 Examples of good vs. bad photos: 

  • Photos with glare, reflections, or plastic sleeves obscure the object, while clear, well-lit images show the full object and help it stand out.


  • Dark, blurry shots with poor lighting and colour distortion reduce appeal, while bright lighting, clean backgrounds, and multiple angles help bidders see the object clearly.


  • Tightly cropped images and poor lighting can misrepresent colours, while clear, full-object shots with accurate lighting and sharp focus helps bidders assess the object properly.


3. Additional proof of authenticity

We pay extra attention to ensure authenticity of high-value objects and autographed cards to protect bidders and ensure a trustworthy marketplace.


For high-value objects(€500+):

If your card or album is valued over €500, we may request additional verification before approval:

✔ Proof of provenance, such as receipts, scans, or authentication reports
✔ Extra high-resolution images showing object details clearly
✔ Verification of ownership, if not already evident in the documentation


📌 Examples of high-value objects: 


For autographed objects:

Autographed objects must follow strict guidelines to ensure authenticity:

✔ Only authenticated signatures are accepted
Must be verified by the original publisher (e.g., Panini, Topps) or by a reputable grading company (e.g., PSA, Beckett, SGC)

✔ Other proof may be accepted at our discretion
If the card isn’t certified but includes a clear photo or video of the signature being made, it may still be accepted

📌 Hand-signed albums
Albums containing hand-signed stickers may be accepted with a disclaimer that the submission is valued primarily for the album – not the signatures.

X No unverified autographs
Cards with hand-signed autographs that lack valid authentication will not be accepted due to the risk of fraud.


📌 Examples of autographed cards: 

  • Cards with unauthenticated signatures are rejected, while signatures verified by the publisher or a reputable grading company are accepted.
