At Apollo’s Vault, every order is treated like treasure. Whether you’re unlocking a single card, a sealed box, or a graded slab, we package and ship with the same care collectors expect from a true Vault.
🔒 Shipping & Packaging Standards
- Singles (Unslabbed Cards): Each card is placed in a protective sleeve and secured in a hard card stock to prevent bending during transit.
- Graded Cards & High-Value Singles: Wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a secure mailer or box for maximum protection.
- Sealed Products (Booster Boxes, ETBs, etc.): Protected with bubble wrap and reinforced packaging to prevent shifting or damage during delivery.
- Insurance: All orders over $50 automatically include shipment insurance at no extra cost to you.
- Signature Confirmation (Optional): Customers may request signature confirmation at checkout for an added fee. This is recommended for high-value orders.
🃏 Card Condition Guide
We use industry-standard TCG grading terminology to describe card conditions accurately:
- Near Mint (NM)
- Cards show minimal to no wear. Centering may be slightly off, but there are no major defects. Suitable for display or competitive play.
- Lightly Played (LP)
- Cards may show slight edge wear, light scuffing, or small surface marks. Still presentable and perfectly fine for play.
- Moderately Played (MP)
- Noticeable wear from play, including whitening, scratches, or small creases. Still sleeve-playable but not ideal for high-end collectors.
- Heavily Played (HP)
- Significant wear such as heavy edge whitening, surface damage, or bends. Best for play rather than display or investment.
- Damaged
- Cards with heavy creases, water damage, inking, or other major defects. Not tournament-legal but may hold collector or nostalgic value.
✨ At Apollo’s Vault, we believe that how your treasure arrives is just as important as the treasure itself. Every package leaves our hands secured, protected, and ready to join your collection.
