About The Card Pyramid ▲
The Card Pyramid is an independent card breaker. We open sealed Bicycle® decks, sell the exact singles, courts, jokers and backs you actually want, and price each order by how much damage it does to what's left. The "pyramid scheme" is a joke about pricing — there's no investment, no returns, no recruitment. The only thing falling down the pyramid is cards.
The idea
The pyramid is our margin system. Sealed decks sit at the apex — pristine red and blue 808s. The moment one is opened it falls into Singles (aces, courts, jokers, backs), then into Gaffs & Utility (duplicates, force cards, double-backers), then into Fragments (partial runs and leftovers), and finally settles in the Bagholder Market at the base — the cheapest, strangest stock, mystery and liquidation lots. 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.
What's inside
Want one card from a sealed deck? We crack the 808 and pull the exact ace, court or joker — you only pay for the pieces you take.
Card subtotal + deck-break fee + inventory-stress fee − orphan offset = your total. Every line is shown before you pay, in £.
The base of the pyramid: leftovers, off-balance lots, mystery bundles and liquidation stock for the bargain hunters.
The store genuinely runs on the Suluk OpenAPI v4 framework — one typed contract powering the catalogue, checkout, cost meter and admin.
