A small archive,
kept carefully

Verso Cards is two people, a flat file cabinet and a camera. We buy period sports and culture cards, catalogue them one object at a time, photograph them under the same light and send them out from Oranienburger Strasse.

How a card gets listed

Every card is identified by year, brand and set before anything else. We record the card number when it exists and write “Not verified” when it doesn't. Condition is described in plain words after handling the card, not copied from a price guide.

What we will never claim

No invented grading numbers, no certificate references, no print runs, no signatures or provenance stories we cannot document. Where a card is historically notable we say so; where it is simply a nice period issue, we say that instead.

Buying from us

Checkout is guest-only — no account, no password, no marketing list. Prices are set in euro, shipping is flat-rate and tracked, and you have fourteen days to change your mind.

Questions

Before you
collect

Anything else, write to [email protected] or read our refund & returns policy.

How do you describe condition?+

Each card is catalogued by eye with plain wording — Fair, Good, Very Good — and photographed as it is. We never assign third-party grades, certificate numbers or serial numbers.

Are the cards originals?+

Yes. Every listing is a period issue identified by year, brand and set. Where a detail cannot be confirmed we write "Not verified" rather than invent it.

Which currency am I charged in?+

All prices are set and charged in euro. At checkout you can view totals in US dollar, pound sterling or złoty as an indicative reference only.

How are orders shipped?+

Cards travel in rigid sleeves and a padded mailer, sent tracked from Berlin. Shipping is a flat €12 worldwide and a tracking number follows within 48 hours.

Can I return a card?+

You have 14 days to change your mind. Cards must come back as they left us, and refunds are issued in euro within 14 days of arrival.

Do I need an account?+

No. Verso Cards is guest checkout only — no sign-up, no profile, no stored password.
