COLLECTIONS & BINDERS
If you're interested in selling a full collection and/or binders you can visit us before the store opens from 10:30am - 11:30am for exclusive service (no need to call ahead). We'll still buy collections during normal store hours, but service times will be subject to staff availability throughout the day.
To make the buying process more efficient, add your collection into Pricecharting (card tracking site) and we'll use that to determine final pricing. We don't pay a premium for master sets.
"Appraisal" Fee: If we price out your collection, but no deal is made in the end, we will charge you $60/hour for appraisal services.
