Hello and welcome to The Cardboard Dream!

We are available on social media platforms!

For multi-quantity listings you may receive a different copy of the card scanned. I typically try to use the most off-centered card as the main photo. If you’re looking for a more centered card, please reach out and I will try to help.

Let’s talk about shipping! The first thing I want everyone to know is that my position on recycling is definitely strong! I will reuse all supplies, with that being said, I won’t send out cards in anything that I wouldn’t want my cards sent in. For me using recycled materials, it’ll look as professional as I can get it. I used to send everything out in semi-rigids, and I used that technique for years. However, I’ve recently started making my own semi-rigids out of sturdy recycled cardboard. It might look a little tacky, but I swear it protects the card/s just as well as a plastic semi-rigid. I will never send a card unprotected! Our family sorta lives out in the country and we really don’t have any nearby recycling centers, so I try to keep paper and cardboard out of our trash bins. Plus, in the world of selling cards, especially the type of cards I sell, every cent counts and not having to spend a few hundred bucks every month on plastic semi-rigids, I can make some from the recycled cardboard and the free eBay tape that I have a mountain of. Hopefully, this allows me to bring more “HOT” cards into my store.

I do my best to get your card/s to you as fast as possible. I do get 99% of my orders out within one business day. I am a stay-at-home dad, and sometimes my toddler son has other plans for the day, please offer some grace if you see that it takes longer than a business day.

BEST OFFERS

I will not accept offers on just one card alone. There’s not much meat left on these bones after fees, shipping, and cost of materials and I’m just a one-man show. I can’t afford to lose money on all the $1 offers I receive. Now if you want to send $1 offer on TWO cards, then I’ll happily accept the offers. However, with the amount of offers I get each day, I simply don’t have the time in my day to accept or decline them. If you want to place offers on multiple cards, I’m 100% more likely to approve them if you reach out to me and let me know that you’re placing offers on multiple cards. If you’re sending offers on cards and I’m not accepting or declining them, I’m not seeing it because it’s lost in a sea of .99 offers.

Once a card leaves my possession, it's all up to USPS to get it delivered to you. Sometimes, when you're tracking your card, it'll appear as it's been delivered. Then you'll check your mail, and the card won't be there. Please don't be alarmed and assume that your card/s has been stolen or was delivered to someone else. The envelopes get scanned in at the Post Office and automatically gets that "DELIVERED" update. If you don't receive your card on the day it says it's been delivered, please allow an additional 48-72 hours. 95% of the time, it shows up. But in case that it doesn't, I'm more than happy to assist you in tracking your card/s.
