We accept cash, PayNow, and credit card (additional credit card fees may apply). Upfront payment is required for all purchases and grading submissions. For reservations, a minimum 30% deposit is required to lock in the price.

Yes — we carry a curated selection of sports and Pokémon singles (ungraded, loose cards) at our physical retail store. Our in-store inventory is updated regularly, so the selection changes over time.

Please note that our singles move in and out quickly — high-demand cards can sell within hours, and stock levels shift throughout the day. While our team is always happy to check availability on request, we are not able to guarantee that a card will still be available by the time you visit. Where possible, we recommend dropping by in person to view the latest selection.

Our flagship retail store is located at 12 Woodlands Square, Woods Square Tower 1, #11-85, Singapore 737715. Our team is happy to help you find specific cards or chase pieces for your set.

International shipping is offered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the destination, the item being shipped, and applicable courier and customs regulations.

If you're interested in shipping outside Singapore, please WhatsApp us at +65 6513 5900 with the items you're looking to purchase and your destination country. Our team will check whether shipping is possible, confirm courier options, and provide an indicative shipping cost before you complete payment.

Please note that international shipping costs, customs duties, and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility, and any delays or issues during international transit fall under the courier's terms.

Yes — we offer buybacks on select cards, subject to authentication, condition assessment, and current intake demand. We do not take in sealed product as we have licensed seller permit from USA.

How much do you offer?

We generally offer 60–80% of market value, depending on:

• The card's condition (raw or graded)
• Current market demand and recent comparable sales (e.g. eBay sold listings, PriceCharting, CardLadder, ALT, etc.)
• Whether the card falls within our current intake categories

What cards do you currently buy back?

• Pokémon — generally AR rarity and above
• Sports cards — preference for numbered cards, autographs, and game-worn patch cards

Intake categories may change over time based on market conditions and our inventory needs.

Can I get an online quotation?

No. Because every buyback requires physical authentication and condition assessment, quotations are given in-store only. We are not able to provide quotations based on photos or descriptions alone, as condition factors such as surface, edges, corners, and centering can only be properly evaluated in person.

How long is a quotation valid?

Quotations are valid on the day of issue only. Market prices move, and condition assessments are tied to the moment of inspection.

Can I change my mind after accepting a quotation?

Once a quotation is accepted and the transaction is completed, the decision is final. Please take your time to consider before accepting — our team is happy to walk you through the basis of any quotation.

Can buybacks be declined?

Yes. Our team reserves the right to refuse or decline any buyback at our discretion, including where:

• The card does not meet our authentication or condition standards
• The card falls outside our current intake categories
• We are not actively taking in that card type at the time
• Other commercial considerations apply

A decline is not a reflection on the card itself — it simply means we are not the right buyer at that moment.

Our prices for singles, slabs, and sealed products are based on current market trends in SGD or USD, depending on the product. Prices can change daily due to:

• Shifts in demand and supply
• Player performance or set popularity
• Movements in currency exchange rates
• Recent sales data and market comparables

We update prices regularly to reflect fair and accurate market value. As a result, a quote given on one day may differ from a quote given on another.

How long is a quote valid?

Quotes are valid on the day they are issued only and are not guaranteed until payment is completed. We reserve the right to adjust prices at any time before payment is made.

The price online is different from the price in-store — which one applies?

The applicable price is the one in effect at the point of sale, as determined by Spearing Collectibles. Where there is any difference between online and in-store pricing, our team will confirm the correct price at the time of transaction. The Company's determination on the final sale price is final.

This is because online listings and in-store inventory are priced independently and updated on different cycles, and market conditions can shift between the two.

Yes. To lock in a price, we require a minimum 30% deposit. Once the deposit is received:

• The item is reserved for you at the quoted price
• The reservation is valid for up to 3 days
• The remaining balance must be paid in full within that window

What happens if I don't complete payment within 3 days?

If the remaining balance is not received within the 3-day reservation period, the deposit will be forfeited, and the item will be released back for sale. The original quoted price will no longer be guaranteed.

We recommend confirming your reservation only when you are ready to complete payment within the timeframe.

It shows as listed online but is out of stock in-store — which one do I follow?

The in-store availability is what applies. If an item appears listed online but is no longer physically available in-store, the item has been sold and is not available for purchase, regardless of what the online listing shows at that moment.

Our online and in-store inventory systems are updated on different cycles, and high-demand items can sell within minutes — which means the online listing may temporarily lag behind the actual stock position. Availability is only confirmed at the point of payment, as determined by Spearing Collectibles.

Where an item has been sold before your payment is completed, we will let you know as soon as possible and assist you in finding an alternative where available.

Due to the nature of our products — singles, slabs, and sealed collectibles — all sales are generally considered final. Exchanges and refunds are not offered as standard, and will be considered on a case-by-case basis at Spearing Collectibles' sole discretion.

We strongly encourage all customers to carefully review your order, the product details, and any quoted pricing before completing payment, as decisions made at the point of purchase cannot be reversed except in exceptional circumstances.

We offer pre-grading assessments and facilitate submissions to PSA, BGS, and CGC on your behalf.

A pre-grading assessment provides a second opinion on your card's condition before it goes for grading — useful for deciding whether to submit, which service tier to choose, and which cards in a batch are worth the grading cost. Please note that our assessment is not a guarantee of any specific grade, as final grading decisions rest entirely with the grading company.

To book an appointment, WhatsApp us at +65 6513 5900.

Each grading company has its own strengths:

• PSA — the most widely recognized in sports and Pokémon, generally strongest resale value
• BGS (Beckett) — the long-standing standard for vintage sports cards, known for sub-grades and pristine black label
• CGC — strong on modern Pokémon and trading card games, increasingly popular for TCG collectors. Also known for their pristine black label.

Our team is happy to advise on which company best fits your card and goals during a pre-assessment — which is by appointment basis.

Please note that no grading outcome can be guaranteed — including by us. Our pre-grading assessment provides a second opinion on a card's condition, but the final grade rests entirely with the grading company. Grading involves subjective elements (centering, surface, edges, corners) and outcomes can vary even between submissions of similar-looking cards.

Grading turnaround times depend on the grading company (PSA, BGS, or CGC), the service tier selected, and the company's current backlog. Please note that turnaround times are set by the grading company and are subject to change without notice.

Turnaround times cover grading only and do not include our handling time or shipping durations. The countdown begins once your submission is received and logged by the grading company, and concludes when grades are released and viewable.

Once you have decided to proceed with grading through us, a unique submission code will be generated for you to track your cards at your own convenience via our tracker: Spearing Tracker

Tracker updates are automatic and reflect the latest status as reported by the grading company. If no updates appear for a period of time, this means there has been no change on the grading company's side — particularly during the period when your card is in their custody and awaiting grading. Your patience and understanding during this stage are sincerely appreciated, as grading queues are managed entirely by the grading company.

Upfront payment is required. Accepted payment methods include cash, PayNow, and credit card (credit card payments may incur additional fees). Fees charged cover general cleaning, use of an approved semi-rigid holder, and to-and-fro insured shipping. Fees are not inclusive of any upcharges that may be incurred by the grading company — these upcharges will be invoiced separately and are payable directly to or through the Company on behalf of the grading company.

Once payment has been made and the submission is processed, card(s) may not be withdrawn, as they will have entered the grading company's system.

Should upfront payment not be possible, exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis at the reasonable discretion of the Company. In such cases, payment must be made online via PayNow within seven (7) days of the invoice date. The Customer acknowledges that all grading fees, upcharges, and related vendor costs are payable to the grading company (such as PSA, CGC, or BGS) and that the Company collects these amounts strictly as facilitator. Where payment remains outstanding after seven (7) days, the Company will issue a written reminder to the Customer's contact details on file. If payment remains outstanding for fourteen (14) days from the invoice date despite such reminder, the Company may, on giving a final seven (7) days' written notice, deem the submitted card(s) abandoned and handle them at the Company's discretion. The Customer is responsible for ensuring timely payment.

Yes — but coverage is provided by third parties at different stages, not by Spearing. We arrange the insurance on your behalf, but we are not the insurer at any point.

Who covers my card during shipping?

The courier. We ship through appointed couriers (e.g. FedEx, DHL, etc.), and any loss, damage, or delay in transit is covered under the courier's own terms and limits.

Who covers my card while it's being graded?

The grading company. Once PSA, CGC, or BGS receives and logs your card, coverage shifts to the declared value you select on their submission form. This is your declaration, made directly with the grading company, and falls entirely under their terms and claims policies.

What is "declared value" and why does it matter?

Declared value is the amount you tell the grading company your card is worth. It determines how much you can claim if something goes wrong while the card is in their possession.

Please choose your declared value tier carefully based on the card's actual fair market value.

What happens if my card is lost or damaged?

It depends on when and where it happened:

• During shipping → the claim is made against the courier under their terms. We will assist you in initiating the claim as a courtesy.
• While with the grading company → the claim is made against the grading company under their terms. We will help facilitate the claim on a goodwill basis.

In both cases, we act as your representative in pushing the claim forward — but the liability and payout sit with the courier or the grading company.

Does Spearing carry any liability for loss or damage?

No. Spearing acts as a facilitator and arranger of third-party shipping and grading services. We do not underwrite or guarantee any coverage, and we do not assume liability for the acts, omissions, or terms of the courier or grading company. Our role is to coordinate the process on your behalf, advocate for you in any claim, and keep you informed throughout.

The integrity of the grading and handling process lies with the grading company, not with Spearing. Our role is to prepare, document, ship, and return your card — we do not grade.

If a card returns with damage that was not present on submission, or with a grade you believe does not reflect the card's condition fairly, we will advocate on your behalf. This includes escalating concerns to the grading company in writing, submitting your documentation for re-review, and pushing for proper reassessment where warranted.

We will not accept, settle, or close any claim without your written instruction. Your card remains your property at every stage, and decisions on how to proceed are yours to make. To support any future claim, we strongly encourage customers to photograph all sides and surfaces of their cards before submission.
