Identification
Exact description of each card, including grading, serial numbers, and attached certificates to prevent later identity disputes.
A written sales agreement clarifies ownership transfer, condition expectations, and payment obligations, reducing misunderstandings and providing evidence for claims, insurance, or legal remedies. It documents provenance and serves as proof for high-value trades.
The Trading Card Sales Agreement suits individual collectors, dealers, auction houses, and consignment platforms who buy, sell, or consign collectible cards.
Choose terms and attachments that match the transaction size and risk: simple bills of sale for low-value trades; detailed agreements for high-value or consigned items.
The individual or business transferring title to the cards. The Seller must warrant ownership, disclose known defects, and sign to confirm transfer of rights and delivery terms.
The individual or entity purchasing the cards. The Buyer signs to acknowledge payment terms, inspection rights, and acceptance conditions; the Buyer’s signature creates mutual obligations under the agreement.
