Sell Your Cards

We buy single cards, and some card collections.

What we buy:

While we love buying cards, we can’t buy every card that walks in the door. This page explains more about what we do and don’t buy.

We pride ourselves on providing collectors with an amazing selection of highly collectible sports and Pokémon cards. As collectors ourselves, we understand the importance of sourcing cards that meet a high standard of collectability. That's why we're committed to purchasing cards that meet the following criteria:

Sports Cards: Sports cards from various eras, including ultra modern cards, modern stars and vintage Hall of Famers. Whether you have baseball, football, basketball, or other sports cards, we're interested in evaluating them for purchase, as long as they meet the Purchasing Guidelines below. Please note, though, that there are many sports cards from 1980-2000 that we will not buy. See the Purchasing Guidelines below for more information.

Pokémon Cards: We're always on the lookout for rare and valuable cards. We're eager to add premium Pokémon cards to our collection, as long as they meet the Purchasing Guidelines below.

Our Purchasing Guidelines:

High-Quality Condition: We prefer cards that are in excellent condition, free from significant wear, creases, or damage. Mint or near-mint cards are highly sought after and command premium prices. Graded cards are always a priority for us, as we value their authenticated quality, condition, and enhanced market desirability.

Value Over $5: We prioritize cards with a value exceeding $5. This ensures that we're acquiring items that have a significant market demand and can offer value to our customers.

Not from the Junk Era (1980-2000): We don’t buy most sports cards from the “junk era.” This includes most cards from 1980-2000. While there are some exceptions from this time period, most cards produced in this time frame were mass produced, leading to lack of desire in the collecting community. The only exception is for graded cards of Hall of Famers, or stars like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. We do not buy complete sets. We focus on acquiring individual cards that meet our value and condition criteria.

Not Complete Sets: While we will buy collections, we don’t buy complete sets from a particular year and product.

Cards Only: We only buy cards, not memorabilia or other collectibles. 

How to Sell Your Cards:

Bring Your Collection to CardFather Sports Cards: To begin the selling process, the owner will be able to tell you if your collection is desired by CardFather Sports Cards. We are often busiest on Saturdays, so if possible, consider coming another day of the week, or call to set an appointment. 

Evaluation Process: We comp your cards using apps, such as Ebay (Sold Items) or Card Ladder Pro. We'll take into account factors such as rarity, demand, and condition to determine a fair market price. 

Please Note: CardFather Sports Cards buys based on our current inventory needs. We reserve the right to refuse any collection.
