FAQ

What is Trading Cards Souq?

Trading Cards Souq is the premier destination for collectors in the UAE and Middle East. We specialize in Trading Card Games (TCGs) such as Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Magic: The Gathering, as well as sports trading cards including Football (Soccer), Basketball, and Formula 1. We also offer premium accessories designed to protect and enhance your collection.

Are all cards on your site authentic?

Yes. Authenticity is our top priority. All products are sourced from authorized distributors and verified collectors. Every high-value single card undergoes a detailed multi-point inspection, including surface condition, edges, corners, and holographic patterns, before being listed for sale.

What do the abbreviations like NM, LP, and Mint mean?

We use industry-standard grading terms to clearly describe card condition:

• Mint (M): Near-perfect condition, usually straight from a pack.
• Near Mint (NM): Minimal wear; may show tiny specks or very light surface marks.
• Lightly Played (LP): Minor edge whitening or light surface scuffing.
• Moderately Played (MP): Visible wear but still fully playable and collectible.
