Card images & card text

Why card images appear here at all

This is a marketplace and price guide for genuine, physical trading cards being resold second-hand. A picture of the card is how a buyer knows which printing, which art, which condition they are buying — the same way every card shop window works. That is the only job card images do here: identifying real products. They are not decoration, not our branding, and never merchandise.

The rules we hold ourselves to

• Official sample images first. Where a publisher publishes card galleries (Bandai, Bushiroad and others do, for every set), we use those images, unaltered, and say where they came from. Every image in our catalogue carries a stored credit line and source — an image without attribution cannot enter the database.
• Small where small does the job. Browsing and search use thumbnails. Full-size images appear only where you are looking at one specific physical card for sale.
• Never edited. No crops that remove copyright lines, no filters, no overlays on the card art itself.
• Rules text, not flavor text. We reproduce what a card does (its effect text — functional information a buyer needs). We deliberately do not republish flavor text — the creative prose belongs with the card and its makers.
• No leaks, ever. Cards that have not been officially revealed by their publisher are banned from this site outright — listings, images, and text. This is a hard rule with expedited removal.
• No publisher logos in our branding. Game names appear as plain text to identify products (nominative use). Our look is ours; theirs is theirs.
• Genuine cards only. Counterfeits and proxies are forbidden in our terms. Pictures of fakes get the listing removed, not just the image.

For rightsholders: removal, fast

If you own rights in anything shown here and want it changed or gone, tell us via the contact page — identify the material (a URL or SKU is perfect) and the right you hold. We do not argue, we do not stall: verified requests are honoured promptly, the affected images are taken down while we check, and the removal is recorded in our catalogue's audit trail. Sellers whose own photos repeatedly infringe lose the ability to list.

Where we stand

We operate from the United Kingdom. We rely on the ordinary legality of reselling genuine goods (exhaustion of rights) and on identifying products honestly by their names (honest practices under trade mark law). For everything beyond that, we rely on doing right by the games: attribution always, official sources first, small images where small will do, and immediate compliance when a rightsholder asks. These games are cultures, not just products — the people who make them deserve better than being scraped and forgotten, and the people who play them deserve a marketplace that says plainly where everything came from.
