The "pyramid scheme" is a joke

The Card Pyramid is a satirical playing-card marketplace. The phrase "pyramid scheme" is a joke about how we price orders — by how far down the pyramid each pick pushes the remaining stock — and nothing more. There is no investment, no financial return, and no recruitment of members. You buy cards; we ship cards. That's the whole arrangement.

The service

The Card Pyramid breaks sealed decks and sells individual cards, gaffs, fragments, and liquidation lots. Each order's price is the card subtotal plus a deck-break fee and an inventory-stress fee, less any orphan offset for picks that rebalance our stock. Prices are shown in GBP (£) and billed via Stripe.
