FAQ's
ποΈ Ordering & Products
What's the difference between hobby boxes and retail boxes?
Hobby boxes are premium, factory-sealed boxes packed with high-value pulls: autographs, parallels, memorabilia cards, and serial-numbered inserts. Retail boxes are the cheaper, mass-produced boxes you find at big-box stores. They're fun for casual collectors but usually contain fewer hits. At Tomcom, we focus on hobby boxes, the real deal for collectors who want the best chase.
Are your products authentic?
Absolutely. Every product we sell is 100% factory-sealed and genuine. We work with authorized distributors and major manufacturers like Panini, Topps, Upper Deck, Konami, and Wizards of the Coast. We never sell counterfeit, opened, or tampered products.
Do you sell single cards or graded cards?
Yes, we carry a rotating selection of single and graded cards. Our inventory changes regularly, so check our site often. Don't see what you want? Email us, we may be able to source it.
What's a pre-sale order?
Pre-sale orders let you lock in upcoming releases before they hit shelves. You pay upfront, and we ship within 1-2 business days after the manufacturer's official release date. It's the best way to secure hot releases that tend to sell out fast.
Why do you have order limits on some products?
For high-demand releases, we may cap quantities per person, household, or order. This keeps things fair for all our customers and prevents bulk buyers from cleaning out our inventory before everyone else gets a shot.
π¦ Shipping & Delivery
When will I receive my items?
Orders are handled within 1 business day of purchase. Once shipped, standard transit time is 1-3 business days. You can track your order using the info in your confirmation email. If your order hasn't arrived within the expected timeframe, contact us at contact@tomcom.us.

π³ Payment & Billing
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, along with supported digital wallets. We don't accept checks, money orders, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or cash on delivery.
When am I charged?
Your payment method is charged the full amount when you place your order, including pre-sale items.
Do you charge sales tax?
We collect sales tax where required by law. The exact amount depends on your shipping address and is calculated automatically at checkout.
What if my payment is declined?
We'll send you an email and give you 48 hours to update your info. If we don't hear back, the order is canceled automatically.
π Returns & Refunds

Email us with your order number and details of the issue. We'll cover all costs to send you the correct item and provide a return label if needed.
What if my pulls are bad?
Disappointing pulls are tough, but we can't refund based on what's inside a sealed box. Pull rates vary box to box, that's part of the hobby. For manufacturer defects (centering, print errors), you'll need to contact the manufacturer directly, and we're happy to point you in the right direction.
Can I cancel my order?
If your order hasn't shipped yet, contact us as soon as possible and we'll do our best to stop it. A 20% cancellation fee applies to cover restocking and processing. Already-shipped orders can't be canceled, and pre-sale items can't be canceled once payment is processed.

Allow 5-10 business days after approval for the refund to show up on your statement, back to your original payment method.

No. Our wholesale program is strictly for legitimate businesses that resell our products.
π Product Knowledge
How should I store my sports cards?
Common cards work well in soft sleeves for sorting. Higher-value cards should go in toploaders. Premium cards belong in magnetic holders or graded slabs. For long-term storage, keep cards in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
How do I get new sports card releases before they sell out?
Check our pre-sale listings regularly, and place pre-orders early to lock in your spot. Sign up for our emails to get notified when new products drop.
Do you grade cards?
We don't grade cards in-house, but if you're interested in PSA grading, we recommend submitting directly to PSA or working with a certified PSA dealer. We're happy to point you in the right direction.
What's the difference between a "hobby box" and a "blaster box"?
A hobby box is a premium product packed with hits, autographs, and parallels. A blaster box is a smaller retail box with fewer packs and lower hit ratios. We focus on hobby boxes at Tomcom for the best collecting experience.
