Carding MTG Cards: CardKingdom A common question I get: "d0ctrine whats the best thing to card that I can flip quickly?" The answer isnt simple - its about finding that sweet spot between risk and reward. If you read my write-up on the Value-Risk Balance you already know the basics. But lets dive deeper shall we?
Liquidity
Lets talk about liquidity. In the carding world liquidity means how quickly you can convert your carded goods to cash. A high-end luxury jacket? Low liquidity - harder to move without taking a hit on resale value. A mint-condition rare MTG Card? Thats pure gold - buyers are lined up around the block. Its an extension of our concept Risk-Value Equilibrium.
In carding liquidity is crucial. You want to move your goods fast after a successful hit. The longer inventory sits the more hit to the price you can resell them for.
Everyone thinks Apple products are the ultimate score. Sure iPhones and MacBooks sell well but everyone and their mother is trying to card them. More competition means more scrutiny from fraud teams.
MTG Cards
Let me introduce you to your new best friend: Magic: The Gathering cards. While you were dismissing these as just cardboard for basement-dwelling nerds smart carders have been making bank.
These arent your kid brothers Pokemon cards. MTG has everything from $20 rares to thousand-dollar vintage pieces - perfect for whatever your card can handle. The beauty is in the ecosystem: a massive global market of collectors and players who treat these pieces of cardboard like stocks trading and buying them without a second thought.
What makes these perfect? Local card shops will buy them without batting an eye. Once that card changes hands it vanishes into the collector ecosystem. Even money launderers have caught on - when crypto bros are using MTG cards to clean their Bitcoin profits you know youve found something special.
CardKingdom: Your New Playground
Enter CardKingdom. This site is perfect for our purposes with a massive inventory and security thats shall we say less than stellar.
Why CardKingdom?
What makes CardKingdom such a prime target? Simple - theyre one of the biggest and most popular MTG retailers in the game with a massive inventory that keeps collectors and players coming back. Their shelves are always stocked with the most sought-after cards - basically anything a serious collector would drool over. And unlike smaller shops that might scrutinize big purchases theyre focused on moving product fast.
Orders ship out quickly with minimal fuss which means you can flip your hits to cash before anyone catches wind. The cherry on top is that theyre more concerned with keeping their massive inventory flowing than playing security guard on your orders.
CardKingdoms Security
Our little recon with Burp Suite reveals two things: they use Authorize.net and Signifyd.
Now Authorize.net is a payment gateway and heres the sweet part - unlike Stripe or Adyen with their fancy fraud detection Authorize is dumb as rocks. No 3DS authentication no built-in antifraud - just a basic bitch payment processor thatll take any card you throw at it. You could run a card thats been passed around and resold in stores through this thing and it wouldnt bat an eye.
Then theres Signifyd the supposed anti-fraud guardian. But heres the funny part: none of their pages make any calls to Signifyd from what we can see. This means Signifyd is flying blind. They only see the data you submit not your sneaky-ass browsing behavior. Theyre not tracking your every move your mouse clicks or how long you linger on a page. Theyre basically a guard dog with no teeth.
So how do you get your order through? You gotta be flexible adapt to the situation. Heres the deal:
- High-Value Orders (Over $3000): Use your own email and ship to the billing address. Its the safest bet for large amounts.
- Mid-Range Orders ($1000 - $3000): Use the cardholders email with your drop address as the shipping destination. Risky but it can work.
- Low-Value Orders (Under $1000): Use your own email and ship to your drop. Hell you can even create an account after checkout.
It all depends on the size of your order. The bigger the haul the more careful you gotta be.
The Game Plan
First you gotta know whats hot. Were not just grabbing any old cards; we need the ones selling like hotcakes. Use a site like MTGStocks to see whats trending. Singles boosters whatever - just make sure theyre not pre-order and if youre buying boosters make damn sure theyre sealed.Next load up that cart. Add as much as your card can handle.
When its time to checkout go as a guest. If youre playing it safe with a smaller order (under $1000) and using your own email dont sweat it. Youll get an option to create an account after checkout. But if youre going big use your own email for high-value orders to the cardholders billing addy or the cardholders email for mid-range orders to your drop address. Well change it later after the order goes through.
And whatever you do dont pick the fastest shipping. Signifyd gets jumpy when people are in a rush. Slow and steady wins this race.
Once the orders placed if you used the cardholders email for a mid-range order immediately change that shit to a burner email you control. Then unleash the email spambots on their address - flood that inbox with so much garbage theyll never notice the CardKingdom confirmation buried in there.
Pickup Orders
CardKingdom offers in-store pickup at their shop locations. No drops needed - just use the cardholders email and name for pickup. While this sounds perfect in theory (no shipping address required) it means physically showing up and risking exposure. And unlike massive retailers like Best Buy or Target who process thousands of pickups daily CardKingdoms smaller operation means they might scrutinize pickup orders more carefully. I havent tested this method personally because the risk/reward ratio seems sketchy. Physical presence creates evidence that remote carding doesnt. Your call if you want to roll those dice.
Final Thoughts
While others chase mainstream electronics and luxury goods you now understand the potential of this overlooked niche. The combination of high resale value established secondary markets and CardKingdoms exploitable security hopefully helps you make those $$$.
But dont mistake this guide for a guarantee. Every card you run is a calculated risk. Your success depends on careful preparation solid setup and the discipline to walk away when something feels off. The market evolves security changes and yesterdays methods become tomorrows red flags.
Stay sharp keep learning and remember - in this game patience beats greed every time.
May your drops be clean and your margins high. d0ctrine out.
