Inherited a collection? Owned cards for decades?
We buy sports cards and collections with clear expectations, fair offers, and no pressure.
We work with families, longtime collectors, and sellers who want straight answers.
What We Buy
We buy sports and non-sports cards, with the strongest interest in older material, graded cards, star cards, unopened material, and collections with established collector demand.
If you're unsure whether your collection fits, photos usually answer that quickly.

Modern Cards
What We Pay
I try to be upfront so you have a realistic idea of what to expect.
Offers depend on demand, condition, eye-appeal, and how the collection is made up. For larger groups, I usually evaluate the collection as a whole and make one clear offer rather than trying to price every card one by one.
Graded Cards
For PSA, SGC, and BGS cards, we typically pay up to ~80% of recent eBay sold prices, depending on demand and eye appeal.
Non-Graded Star Cards
Non-graded star cards — such as Hall of Famers or top players — are reviewed individually.
Offers are usually based on wholesale value rather than full retail, often working out to roughly 40–60% of retail, depending on condition and demand.
Common cards (non-stars) are usually priced at a per-card rate, which depends on era, condition and quantity. Larger groups from the 1950s-70s often make the most sense
Larger Collections
For larger collections, we evaluate the cards as a whole and make one clear offer that reflects the key cards, the remaining material, and overall condition.
This is often simpler and more practical than pricing every card individually.
Modern Cards (2020–Present)
I may buy select modern card especially strong ingles or graded material, but I am generally more selectibe with very recent cards.
Photos help me determine interest and demand.
Pokémon & Trading Card Games
While Pokémon and other trading card games are very popular, they are not a primary focus for me.
In many cases, we may not be the best buyer for these and will let you know early if that’s the case.
A Quick Note on Mixed Collections
Many collections include a mix of eras and values — often a few strong older cards alongside material from the 1980s and 1990s.
That’s very common, and it doesn’t mean your collection isn’t worth discussing.
Our focus is on cards with established collector demand.
If a collection isn’t something we’re able to buy, we’ll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction when possible.
What’s the Next Step?
1. Send a few photos
Wide shots of the collection and a few close-ups of the best cards are usually enough.
Photos don’t need to be perfect — clear is good enough.
2. I review and respond
I'll look things over and get back to you with feedback, questions, or next steps.
Sometimes that leads to an offer. Sometimes it’s simply clarity.
3. Decide what makes sense
If it’s a good fit,I can make an offer, discuss consignment, or set up a local meeting.
You do not need to sort, grade, or prepare everything before reaching out.
"Had a great experience with Peter at Kenmore regarding the sale of my baseball card collection. He examined and valued my collection quickly and offered me an extremely fair price for it."
