Cards in the Closet… It’s Go Time!

Thinking About Selling Your Sports Card Collection?

If your sports card collection has followed you from your boyhood closet to your first apartment, and then into the house with extra rooms for the grandkids, there usually comes a point where it makes sense to ask:

Am I ever going to do anything with this?

Maybe it’s time to take a serious look.

I Buy Sports Card Collections

I’ve been buying sports card collections since 1989, when I opened my first store in downtown Boston.

I’m not just looking for the one card in the safety deposit box and leaving you with the rest. I buy entire collections.

From a worn 1952 Topps high number, to a 1967 Marvel Hulk sticker, to a half-complete 1986 Fleer Basketball set — I like it all.

How I Approach a Collection

If you’re thinking about selling, I’ll walk you through the best options.

Some collections are best sold outright. Some have stronger cards that may make more sense for consignment. In certain cases, it may even make sense to grade a card before selling.

We’ll go through that together and decide what gives you the best outcome.

If you’re not quite ready yet, I also offer consultations so you can get a better grasp of what you have and how you may want to approach it down the road.

Are You Wondering What I Buy?

It’s hard to cover every possibility—there are always exceptions—but here are the areas where the answer is almost always yes:

Cards (any singles, lots, or complete sets)

• Baseball: 1887–1975 (no reproductions)

• Basketball: 1948–1987

• Football: 1935–1986

• Hockey: 1933–1986

• Non-sports: 1933–1975

  
  

Graded Cards

• PSA, SGC, BVG

  
  

Other Material (especially pre-1965)

• Pins

• Tickets

• Programs

• Yearbooks

  
  

Boxed material and full collections are always of interest.

If your collection falls in or around these areas, it’s worth reaching out.
