Singles, sealed or graded
A single is one card. It is the easiest way to get the exact Pokémon you want, from a favourite starter to a special art rare. Raw singles show a condition, from Near Mint down to Damaged.
Sealed product means booster packs, booster boxes and elite trainer boxes still in their wrapping. You can open them for the fun of it or keep them closed. Sealed items show their state as new, visible wear or damaged.
A graded card has been checked by a grading company, given a grade and sealed in a hard plastic slab. The grade and the company are shown on the item, so you know what you are buying before you bid.
How an auction works, in brief
Set the most you are happy to pay. We bid for you in small steps, and nobody sees your maximum. If someone bids in the last minute, we add 60 seconds. The auction ends when a full minute passes with no new bid.
When it ends, the winner's saved card is charged straight away. There is no buyer's premium, so the price you win at is the price you pay for the card.
Every sale is final. If an item is not as described, write to help@mynted.me within 3 days of delivery.
Delivery in the UAE and the GCC
We deliver with Aramex. It costs AED 15 inside the UAE and AED 55 to the rest of the GCC. You pay it once per seller per day, so if you win several items from the same seller on the same day they travel together.
Delivery takes 1 to 2 days after the seller posts. If you would rather skip the courier, ask about collecting from the Dubai store.
How to judge a price
A fair price is one you can check. Every item on MYNTED Auctions shows a price guide from our Collectr partnership, next to what the same card sold for on MYNTED before. Graded items are compared by grade, so a PSA 9 is not measured against a PSA 10.
Condition matters as much as the card. A Near Mint copy and a Heavily Played copy of the same card are not the same price. Read the condition, look at the pictures, and set a maximum you are comfortable with.
You can also use the price checker. Sign in, enter a card, and see a price guide and what it sold for on MYNTED. It is limited to 10 checks per 3 hours.
Tips for your first Pokémon purchase
Pick a set or a Pokémon you love and start small. Check the language of the card, because Japanese and English printings are priced separately. Check the set name and card number against the picture.
If you are new to collecting, read our beginner guide first. It explains printings, conditions and how to set a budget.
