# Can athletes buy back their own cards?

**Key Points:**

1. **Access via Marketplace**
   * Athletes search for their own cards on the Marketplace.
   * They can purchase them at the listed price, subject to market rules and offers.
2. **Fair Play**
   * Buybacks follow the same rules as any other manager transaction.
   * Market fees (5%) apply to all purchases.
3. **Strategic Use**
   * Athletes may choose to reclaim cards for personal collection, limited edition purposes, or to influence market dynamics.

**Tip:** Owning your own card can also allow athletes to **participate in gameweeks** or maintain personal collections without relying on external managers.
