Although we are mainly known for unopened boxes and cases of sports cards, we also have a buying team that does a lot of work with single cards. These guys mainly look to buy vintage baseball cards, but also purchase older unopened material and singles ranging from all the major sports to non-sport releases as well.
One of the most common questions we receive is about baseball card values. There are several online resources that provide pricing - including Beckett, Tuff Stuff, and CardPricer just to name a few.
We get calls everyday from people with lower end cards that at one time believed their early 90’s baseball card collecting would someday let them retire early. It is unfortunate for us to break the hard news to a lot of these people, but it is fun to talk to former collectors about the hobby.
If you are ever looking to sell your old baseball cards, we recommend checking out one of the price guides we listed above for reference. Our team of buyers can also give you a free quote and will possibly buy your collection depending on what you have.
Things we are always looking to buy include:
Pre-1980 Singles
Pre-1970 Graded Singles
Pre-1985 Complete Sets
Older Unopened Boxes and Cases
Non-Sport Cards

One of the most important parts of collecting sports cards is to protect them properly. No matter what level of collector you are it is important to take care of your collection. Here are a few tips to take card of your cards.
- Purchase essential supplies – this includes cardboard storage boxes for sets and commons, and soft-sleeves and top loaders or snap-tights/one-touch holders for singles.
- Never try to “jam” a card into a top loader or case. If you are dealing with a thicker card get the proper supplies for it. The supply companies do a great job matching their products with all different card types and sizes, take advantage of that.
- Store your cards in a cool, dry place. This will help prevent the negative effects of humidity and temperature extremes which can be especially damaging to your collection.
- Even after cards are put into top loaders or one touch cases don’t just stack them in any old box. Supply companies make boxes that fit all types of cases, even graded cards.
- If you have a set that is just short of filling a box, make sure to use foam box filler pads to keep your cards upright and tight, preventing them from sliding around.
- If you want to be able to easily view and show off certain cards use high quality pocket pages and a binder or display book. Consider looking into pages that hold actual cases in them for maximum protection.
