Beckett Media Return Policy
Every return window, fee, and holiday extension for Beckett Media — pulled from the retailer's own policy page and linked below so you can confirm it yourself.
Beckett Marketplace items are sold by independent dealers, not Beckett itself, so the 7-day window is only a floor - restocking fees and exact return process vary by dealer, and Beckett tells buyers to contact the dealer directly rather than Beckett support to initiate a return.

About Beckett Media
If you collect sports cards, you already know the name — Beckett is basically the reference point for grading and pricing in the hobby, the same way Kelley Blue Book is for cars. Send in a card and they'll authenticate and grade it on their scale; that grade, along with their price guide data, is what most collectors and buyers use to figure out what a card is actually worth.
Beyond grading, they run a marketplace for buying and selling graded cards, publish price guides across baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and non-sports sets, and have expanded into grading autographs, tickets, and other memorabilia. It's less a shop and more infrastructure for the collecting world. One thing to plan around: grading turnaround can stretch from weeks to months depending on how backed up they are, so this isn't a service you use if you need a card graded fast.
What they sell
- Trading card grading and authentication services
