Won a mystery card auction

Won a mystery card auction. I know it wasn't going to be anything spectacular, but the card was an irrelevant base card worth maybe $1

Thank you for reaching out and for understanding that it may not have been anything spectacular, given the chance nature of mystery boxes and random selection of items, meaning a "hit" is never guaranteed.

For collectors looking for specific cards, we always advise against purchasing a mystery box and suggest direct purchase instead. As is standard practice with all random-content items, all sales on mystery boxes are final.

Beware

Beware! Mystery box was complete trash. I won a Ken Griffey Jr. Mystery Box auction (over $50) and received a single low grade baseball card with a bent edge. I could have bought this card for a dollar in much better condition. I understand not all boxes are winners, but at least provide quality items. Definitely not so pristine!

Thank you for reaching out and for your understanding. We want to be clear that the excitement of our mystery boxes comes from the chance and random selection of items, meaning a "hit" is never guaranteed.

A friend turned me on to Pristine

A friend turned me on to Pristine. The items up for auction are extremely varied. The auction format is fun. So far, I have enjoyed the experience but the premium to Pristine and shipping can get expensive.

Overall experience with the company is great as a customer. I do think some people are surprised that some of the extra charges when they make a purchase at first also love watching the live auction, but from a seller standpoint, I think the five and seven second auction a lot of the cards are going to cheap. I think with an extension that There is a better chance of profit percentage as a buyer Sure it’s great. I myself think the experience overall with their company is outstanding. Keep up the good work.

Hello Anthony,
We're already working on this with you, and didn't receive the pictures from you needed to update the item until yesterday afternoon. We're in touch with the authenticator to update their database.

As we discussed, while authentication companies regularly update their systems, a high volume of entries can occasionally lead to an item being missed or incorrectly listed. The fix is often as simple as submitting a direct update request to the company.

Please allow us the time to do our due diligence to have the item updated. Thank you

Hello Adam, thank you for your business.

Please remember that mystery boxes are sold on the basis of chance, and they do not guarantee a "hit." The excitement comes from the possibility of pulling a highly desirable item within the series. If your goal is to acquire a specific card, we recommend purchasing that card directly rather than relying on a mystery box.

You can find more detailed information about how our mystery boxes work in our FAQs here: https://pristineauction.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22381208062359-Mystery-Boxes

Poor packaging and damage

Autographed boxing glove was signed in silver ink and was significantly smeared when it arrived. It was wrapped in a plastic bag tightly and smeared all over plastic and on glove. Signature looks horrible when arrived. I emailed customer service photos and they did not care. I mean, how can you do this??? Package items with greater care and follow up with a genuine response. I am done with these guys. This has happened on multiple occasions with no real customer service!

Hello Andy, thank you for being a customer. We've reviewed your email and photos and confirmed that the minor smudging you noted on the glove is visible in the original listing picture. Because this condition was accurately represented in the listing, the item does not qualify for a refund.
