Frequently asked questions
The questions you ask us at the stand
The answers we give in person, at the fair and in chat: what we deal in, how we buy your cards, how consignment works, where to find us. If something is missing, message us — behind the chat it is us, David and Sandro.
What cards do you deal in?
Trading card games and collectibles: RAW singles, sealed product, slabs and graded cards, artist-signed pieces, full collections and action figures. On the TCG side we move on the games collectors chase most — Pokémon, Magic, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh and the like. If you are after something specific, tell us what: if it is not on the stand, we often track it down.
Do you buy my cards? How does it work?
Yes, we are interested. Send the photos of the cards or the lot in chat: an overview to start, then the key pieces in detail, and on those we give you a quick first look. The real valuation we settle in person, at the fair, because the card gets seen live, condition included. Transparent valuation, no lowball. If you would rather, partial trade works too instead of cash only.
How does consignment work?
You hand us the collection and we sell it for you, on your behalf, so you do not have to haggle over every single card. Total transparency: you get access to a dedicated portal, yours only, updated in real time — you see what sold, when and for how much, without asking anyone. Payouts come on a regular schedule, typically every 15 or 30 days, via PayPal or IBAN. The commission we agree upfront, in the clear, and the rest is yours. The tax side we handle.
Where can I find you? Do you have a shop?
We work live: we are around all of Italy wherever there are collectors and fairs, with our home base in Rome and Lazio. The next dates and the stand number are on the bbt.monster home page, in the fairs section. No physical shop yet: that is the next step, for now we meet at events.
Do you deal in slabs and graded cards?
Yes: slabs and graded cards, ready to display or to flip on with zero arguing over condition. We also deal in artist-signed pieces, raw and graded, signed by TCG artists in person at events. The grading itself is done by the grading companies, not by us: what you find on the stand is already sealed in a slab with its grade.
How can I trust condition and authenticity?
Every piece goes through our hands first: if we would not keep it, you will not find it on our stand. Raw cards you check live at the stand, condition included, before closing anything. Graded cards come already slabbed with the grading company grade, so condition is not up for debate. Behind the stand it is us, David and Sandro: collectors before dealers.
Do you also sell online?
Yes, on our eBay store: singles, sealed, graded slabs and collectibles. Purchases covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee, tracked shipping, public feedback and verifiable reputation. The rest of the catalogue moves live, fair after fair.
How do I reach you?
On WhatsApp you get a person, not an auto-reply: message us in chat and we answer as soon as we are off the stand. In the WhatsApp Community and the Telegram group the drops, the cards just in and the trades happen first. You also find us on Instagram and TikTok, and by email at support@bbt.monster. All the official channels are gathered below.
How do I recognise the official BBT contacts?
The only official contacts are the ones published on bbt.monster. No one from BBT staff will ever ask you for an upfront payment, a top-up or payment details in private to hold or ship a card. Be wary of look-alike account names, of deposit requests via PayPal friends and family, of top-ups or gift cards. Valuations and deals are settled in the clear, in person at the fair or through the official channels. When in doubt, take a screenshot and write to us, David or Sandro, before paying anything.
