How We Value Your Pokemon Cards

We don’t guess, and we don’t pull a number out of the air. We value your cards against real market data: current TCGplayer market value and recent actual sold prices from TCGplayer and eBay. The number you get is what the market is really paying right now, not a figure we invented. Machine-assisted sorting lets us go through a whole collection and value it in hours instead of weeks, so you get a clear picture quickly.


Almost every collection is two kinds of cards

A small number of cards usually carry most of the value, and the rest is bulk. We sort the two and value each the right way, so nothing valuable gets lumped in with the commons. You can see exactly what we pay for each on our published buy rates page, so there are no surprises.


What you walk away with

A clear valuation of your collection and a cash offer at our published rates. There’s no obligation to sell. If the number works for you, we can pay you fast. If you’d rather think it over, that’s fine too.


High-End Cards: Consignment Is Also an Option

For a genuinely high-value card, you don’t have to sell to us outright. We also offer consignment on high-end cards: we list and sell the card on your behalf, and you get paid once it sells, instead of taking a cash offer today.

We charge a 15% commission on the sale price, after expenses, so you only pay once the card actually sells.

Not sure which makes more sense for what you have? Ask us. We’ll tell you honestly whether an outright offer or consignment fits your card better.


If you just want to know what you have

Not ready to sell, and you only want to know what your collection is worth? We offer a full valuation as its own service.

A full valuation costs $20 per 1,000 cards ($0.02 a card). If we end up buying your cards, that fee is deducted from our payment to you.


Local, and we can come to you

Valuations are done locally. You can set up a drop-off, or if the collection is large, we’ll come to you. We’re not a walk-in store, so reach out first and we’ll arrange a time that works.

We’re not certified appraisers, so this isn’t a certified appraisal and isn’t valid for insurance or estate purposes. We base it on real TCGplayer and eBay sale prices, not an appraiser’s opinion.
