Hi, I used to play Magic the Gathering when it first came out way back in 1993-1994. I did this for several years, all the while building quite the collection of cards from the now "Vintage" sets. I stopped playing in the late 90's as I had to concentrate more on my actual Engineering career, but I still kept picking up the odd card here and there from my collection.
A few years ago, I was once again turned onto this game when a friend told me about a great new set named Ravnica. It looked interested and I decided not only to try playing again, but also to sell the cards so that others could have an opportunity to acquire needed cards that were either too expensive in game/card shops or not available. This is why my auctions all start at such a low value, to give everyone a fair chance at winning my items at fair values.
As those of you who remember me know, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION and QUALITY are my primary concerns. I take pride in my perfect feedback rating and ability to ensure my customers are happy and satisfied. I personally am extremely picky and cautious when it comes to my own collecting, so I want to make sure anyone buying from me feels secure with their purchase. When I pack cards for shipment I ensure that there is no way they can be damaged in transit barring the complete destruction of the packaging. Your items will always arrive in the same condition as they leave my hands.
Payment Information:
• I only accept payment via PayPal.
• Please use eBay’s checkout process to complete this transaction.
• Multiple item winners please wait for me to send you a Consolidated Invoice before making payment. Additional items won will have reduced S&H charges as noted.
• Payment is due within 7 days after winning this auction (please contact me if you expect any payment delays).
Delivery / Shipping & Handling:
• Unconfirmed PayPal Addresses may require additional s&h fees for tracking/proof of delivery. Please contact me prior to bidding if you do not have a Confirmed PayPal Address.
• All cards will be securely packaged to prevent damage/bending during shipping. Any combination of Card Sleeves, Top-Loaders, Bubble Pack Envelopes, Boxes, and other packing materials will be used to ensure your cards arrive safe and secure in the same condition as sent.
• S&H costs are listed in auction. Also take note of further details in the Payment Instructions section.
• Please contact me should you expect to have a high valued order as these may require added shipping fees for delivery confirmation. Orders over $50 outside Canada/US will require added fees for secure/signature delivery.
• Be aware that buyers are responsible for any duties/tariffs that may be applicable.
• If you need rush delivery, please request a price quote prior to bidding.
• Packages will typically be shipped out within 3 days from receipt of payment.
Additional Information:
• If you need to contact me, please do so through eBay as I check those messages more frequently than my email.
• I use stock card images for all my brand new, pack fresh auctions (since cards are NM/MINT anyway). But I would be happy to send you high resolution scans (front and back) of the actual cards you are interested in upon your request.
Return/Refund Policy:
• Full Refund given if not completely satisfied.
• Contact me within 7 days of receiving item for return shipping information.
• Item must be returned in exact condition as originally sent.
Grading Scale that I use:
MINT (M): Perfect card showing no ware.
NEAR MINT (NM): Card may have one or two small nicks on an edge, or a very small mark on a face. NM cards could also be pack fresh cards that display slight manufacturing/packing defects such as a minor edge nick or surface mark, or possibly a minor printing/color defect on the front face. A Near Mint card would never require a card sleeve for play.
EXCELLENT (EX): Very light play wear evident, with slight wear and/or nicks on edges. An Excellent card would not require a sleeve for play.
FINE (F): Card has been played but not heavily. Will show slightly more edge wear than an excellent card and may have very light wear showing on the face. A Fine card may possibly require a sleeve for play.
VERY GOOD (VG): Card is heavily played on edges and may have noticeable play wear on faces. A Very Good card should use a sleeve for play to conceal marks.
GOOD (G): Card is heavily played with heavy whitening on the edges and scuffing on the faces. A Good card is only playable in a sleeve.
POOR (P): Everything else. Card can only be played in a sleeve and shows very heavy play ware, scuffing, bends, creases or tears.

A NOTE ON EBAY'S FEEDBACK STAR RATING SYSTEM
Ebay is now basing the fees charged to sellers on their "star ratings" in the feedback forum. This would be fine except that the descriptions ebay gives for different Star values are deceptive. I just want my customers to be aware of this - IF YOU GIVE A SELLER RATINGS OF "4 OUT OF 5" YOU ARE ACTUALLY GIVING THEM A FAILING GRADE, and you are costing them money. Even though scoring a transaction with straight 4s would seem to be a positive reflection on the transaction - IT IS NOT!! It is costing the seller up to 15% or 20% in additional fees over what they can achieve with 5 ratings. For example, ebay says a 4 rating in the Item Description category equals "Accurate". Under Communication, 4 stars means the buyer is "satisfied" with the transaction. Sounds pretty good, right? Wrong! 4 Stars in any category is effectively an "F" Grade for the seller. I think many buyers are not aware of this. If you think you have ANY reason not to give me a "5" in ANY category at the completion of our transaction, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK and tell me what the problem was, so that I can correct it if possible. I have had an outstanding record on ebay thus far and I wish to maintain this record and my high level of customer satisfaction which I am very proud of. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS NOTE.
