General

Follow these steps to get cards from Russia, but first of all: I am not associated with the seller in any way or form. This post is just a community service to help you possibly get cards for your collection from Russia. I don’t know anything about the seller’s history, his capacities, his methods to obtain his cards, or his prices, except what I negotiated with him. SO PLEASE DON’T DM ME (messages will be ignored).

See the cards I ordered and read about how the whole process went

I ordered my cards on December 5, 2024, and they arrived on December 31, 2024.

The cards were just sleeved once without any toploaders, and three cards were placed in one penny sleeve. The two sleeves were taped together but not taped to the inside of the envelope. So the packaging was really bad, but that was due to me not asking for toploaders. SO MAKE SURE YOU ASK THE SELLER AND PAY THE PREMIUM for shipping if you want to ensure your cards don’t get damaged.

The cards arrived in okay condition. The corners were slightly damaged due to the missing toploaders. Click here to see the grading results – they are between 6 and 8.

Follow these steps to get cards from Russia:

  1. Make contact with hot_land_dude on Instagram or Telegram.
  2. Ask for cards and pictures and negotiate a price, including shipping costs.
  3. MAKE SURE TO ASK AND PAY (much) MORE FOR SHIPPING IN TOPLOADERS, or else your cards might get damaged on the way to you.
  4. Pay via the provided PayPal address (private payment, so the risk is on you!)
  5. Ask for a tracking number and track your cards using www.parcelsapp.com or any other tracking site.
  6. Wait about 30 days for your cards to arrive.

Notes:

  • There seems to be some controversy concerning the seller as mentioned in this post: Cards from Russia (tutorial on how to get them) - #16. I myself had a very friendly conversation with the seller from day one; others may have had different experiences. Make sure to ask yourself if you want to buy from the seller knowing about the controversy.
  • Always buy with the mindset that your cards could be damaged or lost due to the current circumstances. Only spend as much as you could lose without feeling bad about it.

Best,
