A pyramid scheme where the product is actually cards.
We open Bicycle® decks, sell the exact cards you want, and price your order by how much damage it does to the remaining stock.
Transparent pricing — every fee shown before checkout. Real cards, posted to you. See how the price is built ↓
Every order pushes cards down the pyramid
We break a deck
Want a single that isn't loose? We open a sealed 808 for it — and inherit the other 51 cards.
We reprice the damage
Your total carries a deck-break fee and an inventory-stress fee for the awkward stock you leave behind.
Someone adopts the leftovers
Those orphans fall to the bottom tier — where the next buyer gets them cheap, and earns an orphan offset.
“The higher the cut, the higher the cost. The lower the layer, the stranger the bargain. We profit by managing the fall better than you want to.”
Buy cards. Watch our stock — and our books — react.
This is the real engine, starting from zero stock. Tap cards, complete the sale, and watch us break decks, pile up paid-off leftovers, and book a profit on every single order.

Bagholder specials
The cheapest, strangest stock. Take the leftovers off our hands — that's where the deals are.
How the price is built
More calculator than product page. You should always be able to see how the number was reached.
The formula
- Card subtotalsum of the cards you pick
- + Deck-break feeadded when a fresh deck must be opened
- + Inventory-stress feeadded when your order leaves low-liquidity leftovers
- − Orphan offsetdiscount for taking cards that rebalance our stock
- = Final totalsubtotal + fees − offsets

| Total | £10.90 |
Sealed decks are factory-sealed. Singles & gaffs are new unless stated. Fragments and bagholder lots are sold as-is — that's why they're cheap.
