Send photos and a rough inventory. We price against what cards actually sold for — not what people are asking — and send you a real number with the reasoning attached. Played, creased, sun-faded: still send it. Condition moves the price, not whether we're interested.
24-hour offers
A written number with the sold comps behind it, not a vague range.
Any condition
Played, creased, sun-faded. Condition moves the price, not our interest.
No minimum
One card or a whole closet. Bulk included.
No obligation
The offer is yours to keep or walk away from. Nothing owed either way.

How it works
Sets, rough card count, condition, anything graded. Upload photos of the binders, boxes, or slabs.
We work from recent sold comps, not asking prices. You get a written breakdown, not just one number.
Pack it properly and ship it insured. When the cards arrive we check them against your photos, confirm the offer, and pay. If something looks different in hand than it did on screen, we tell you what changed and why before anything is final.
