Authenticity Policy

Last updated 19 August 2026

Wots TCG Vault NZ does not independently authenticate items listed for sale unless that item has gone through an official third-party grading or authentication service (e.g. PSA, BGS, CGC, ACE). Buyers should carefully review listing photos and seller history before purchasing.

Seller declarations

Every listing requires the seller to declare that the item is authentic and accurately described. False declarations are a serious violation of our Terms and may result in account suspension, listing removal, and reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Graded items

For graded slabs, sellers must provide the grading company, grade, and (if available) certification number, along with clear photos of the slab. We recommend buyers independently verify certification numbers via the grading company's public lookup tool before purchase.

Raw / ungraded cards

For raw cards, authenticity relies on seller disclosure and listing photos. If you receive an item you believe is counterfeit, open a dispute immediately and do not use or damage the item, as this may affect the outcome of your claim.

Reporting suspected counterfeits

Use the “Report listing” button, selecting “Suspected counterfeit item”. Provide as much detail as possible — our trust & safety team investigates all counterfeit reports.
