Intro to Listings with Photos (Buyers)
Listings with photos on TCGplayer.com allow you to see exactly what you're buying before you place your order. These listings are typically rare, expensive, or one-of-a-kind products that don't fit into the normal conditioning guidelines for various reasons. By seeing high-resolution images and custom titles, you'll have a better understanding of the condition and uniqueness of the product so you can make a more informed decision about whether or not you want to buy it.

Q: What kinds of products might I find?
A: Sellers have the opportunity to list graded collectibles, signed cards and Funko Pop! figures, miscuts, misprints, alters–even entire playsets.
