BEFORE YOU HIT SEND

A few quick answers.

How do I send photos?

Use the secure form to upload up to four photos, or share a photo album link. You can submit without photos and provide them later.

Do I need to know the set or the value?

No. Clear photos are enough to begin. Tell us anything you know about quantities, condition, and how you acquired the items.

Could a collection really bring a six-figure payment?

Exceptional vintage items and collections have reached six-figure auction prices, but this is not typical or a guaranteed payment. We need to review the exact items, condition, authenticity, and current market before discussing any offer.

Is this an instant valuation?

No. We first review the photos to see whether we’re interested. If there is a fit, we’ll ask for any additional details and discuss a possible offer.

Can I sell a single card or one pack?

Yes. Vintage single cards, graded cards, individual packs, sealed booster boxes, and larger collections are welcome for review. For a card, send the front and back plus any visible wear. You don’t need to own a full set.

What happens after you’re interested?

We discuss condition, authenticity, price, inspection, payment, and delivery terms. Do not ship anything until those details are agreed.

Is your purchase offer the same as retail value?

No. Our purchase offer accounts for condition, authenticity, selling costs and resale risk. It may be below retail resale value. You can compare options before deciding.
