IMAGES

Where an image for a product is provided, it is done so as a general representation of said product. It can not be assumed that the item you order/receive will be 100% identical to that shown. This is particularly true for items such as Autograph, Costume/Piecework's, Prop, Memorabilia Cards, etc., as due to their very nature every card will have slight variations to the next. The only exemption to this is when an item listed clearly states that the shown image is the same as the one you will receive.

Special cards such as foil, holographic, 3-D, motion etc. will also appear slightly different when viewed in hand to the image displayed on the website.

If you are in any doubt, or have any questions as to the card you will receive, please email info@uktradingcards.com prior to placing your order, where will we be happy to clarify any points.

Please also see copyright regarding the use of images.
