Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does "Serial Numbered" mean?

A Serial Numbered card has a specific number stamped on it (e.g., "05/99"). This indicates two things: first, the total print run of that specific card (only 99 exist in the world), and second, which specific copy you own (card number 5). These are much rarer than standard base cards.

Why are numbered cards valuable?

Scarcity drives value. Unlike base cards which may have tens of thousands of copies printed, numbered cards have a hard cap on production. Collectors and investors prize them because they know exactly how rare the item is, making them safer long-term holds in the hobby.

Do you have low-numbered cards like /10 or 1/1?

Yes! Our inventory changes constantly, but we actively stock low-numbered hits. You can find cards numbered to /10 (often called "Gold" parallels), /25 (Orange or Mojo), and even the elusive 1-of-1 (1/1) cards, which are the only copy in existence. Use our sort filters to find the rarest cards currently available.

Do you sell numbered cards for all sports?

We carry numbered singles for Football, Basketball, and Baseball. You will find limited edition cards from sets like Panini Prizm, Donruss, Topps Chrome, and Absolute Football. Whether you collect NFL quarterbacks or NBA rookies, we have rare parallels for your PC.

What is a "Rainbow"?

In collecting, a "Rainbow" is when you collect every single parallel version of a specific player's card (e.g., the Base, Silver, Red /299, Blue /99, Gold /10, and Black 1/1). Our singles collection is the perfect place to find the specific missing color or number you need to complete your rainbow.
