Community Guidelines

How to take part: be civil, no scams or counterfeits, and declare it if you have skin in the game.

If we open comments, discussion or community features, these are the rules. The hobby is better when it is honest and welcoming, and it is full of newcomers who deserve good faith.

Be civil

Disagree about a grade, a comp or a card all you like, attack the argument, not the person. No harassment, hate speech or abuse.

No scams, no counterfeits

Do not promote, sell or facilitate counterfeit cards, altered or trimmed cards, fake autographs, resealed or searched packs, or shill bidding. Do not post listings designed to deceive. This is a hard line.

Declare your interest

If you are a dealer, breaker, grader, or have a stake in a card or sale you are discussing, say so. Undisclosed self-promotion and ramping are not welcome.

Be accurate

If you cite a value, cite the sold comp. Do not pass off asking prices as sold prices, or rumours as facts. Newcomers are reading and learning.

Stay legal and on-topic

No spam, no illegal content, no doxxing, no off-topic flooding.

Enforcement

We may edit or remove content and restrict accounts that break these rules. Report problems to hello@tradingcard.news.
