Sell trading cards for cash in San Diego County
San Diego is a serious collector town. Pokemon and sports card binders, boxes of Magic cards, and graded slabs are all common, and plenty of them end up in a closet when the collector grows up or moves.
Text us photos of the binders, boxes, or slabs. We cover San Diego, La Jolla, Chula Vista, and El Cajon as well as Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido, and we come to your door to look at the collection in person.
Short answer: text photos of your trading cards to (858) 247-2017. If it looks like a fit, we come to you in San Diego County, look at everything in person, and pay cash before leaving.
Common card situations around San Diego
- A parent with a kid's old Pokemon binders and no idea what is in them
- A returning collector with a box of 90s baseball and basketball cards
- A Magic player selling a deck collection before a move out of the county
What to text us for cards
- Photos of the front of the binder pages, since the pages show us what the collection contains
- A photo of any graded slab label and the card
- A rough count of boxes, so we can plan the visit
What affects the value of trading cards
- Game or sport, player or character, and set
- Condition and centering for raw cards
- Professional grading (PSA, BGS, CGC) and the grade itself
- Sealed boxes, packs, and cases versus loose cards
- Whether the collection is organized by set or just in boxes
Proxies, reprints, and counterfeit cards are not a fit, and large piles of common bulk cards may only be worth a small offer.
We do not quote prices from a single photo. Final offers come after we look at the items in person.
