Overview

Wax Trader is a marketplace for sealed sports card boxes and cases. You can browse products from verified sellers across the country, compare prices, and purchase with confidence — all with free shipping and buyer protection on every order.

Step 1: Browse & Search

Use the search bar or browse by category to find the products you want. You can filter by sport (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, Soccer, F1, UFC), brand (Topps, Panini, Upper Deck, Bowman), configuration (Hobby Box, Blaster, Retail, Case), and year. Each product page shows the current lowest price, all available listings from different sellers, product details, and price history.

Step 2: Add to Cart

When you find a listing you want, click "Add to Cart." You can add items from multiple sellers in a single session. Your cart will show a breakdown of items grouped by seller.

Step 3: Checkout

When you are ready to buy, go to your cart and click "Checkout." You will be asked to enter or select a shipping address. Tax is calculated automatically based on your shipping location. All orders include free shipping — there are no hidden fees.

Step 4: Payment

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets through Stripe's secure payment processing. Your payment information is never stored on our servers. If your order includes items from multiple sellers, each is processed as a separate transaction for your protection.

Step 5: Order Confirmation

After payment, you will see a confirmation page with your order details. You will also receive a confirmation email. You can track your order status at any time from your account's order history.
