That shoebox, binder, or tin of Pokémon cards you’re not using? We buy them — commons, holos, energies, all of it. Ship them to us free over $50 — or if you’re in the New York City area, snap a few photos, get an offer, and we come to your door with a check in hand. No haggling. No mystery math.
Live within ~30 miles of New York City? Skip the box, the tape, and the post office. Three steps and your cards are gone and your check is here.
Lay your Pokémon cards out and take a few clear pictures — binders open, boxes fanned. Upload them in the form below.
We review your photos and send a written offer, usually within one business day. No obligation — say no and we disappear.
Accept, pick a time, and we come to your door. You hand over the cards, we hand over the check. Done in minutes.
Inherited a collection? Kid outgrew it? No idea what any of it is worth? Pick whichever path is least effort for you — we handle the rest.

Within ~30 miles of NYC: photos → offer → we arrive at your door with a check. How pickup works ↑
① We accept your photo submission (Path A) · ② Your calculator quote is $50+ · ③ You’re sending 1,000+ unsorted cards, holos included, at our posted rates — the “whole binder, whole box” special.
Five minutes of packing protects your payout. Grab a printable order form + checklist here.
Stack cards tightly, place stiff cardboard above and below each stack, and rubber-band or tape the bundle so nothing bends.
Any holo, full-art, or card that glitters goes in a toploader or penny sleeve if you have them. Those are the ones worth guarding.
Bubble wrap, paper, or air pillows until nothing shifts. Shake test: if you hear movement, add more filler.
Medium Flat Rate fits most collections; Large for 3,000+ cards. One price ships anywhere in the US — tape every seam, drop the order form on top, done.
Every part of this process was designed around one question: what would make selling your Pokémon cards actually feel good?
The number the calculator shows you today is the number you get paid — even if market rates drop while your box is in the mail.
Within ~30 miles of NYC, we come to you with a check. Photos → offer → doorstep handoff. The laziest possible way to turn cards into money.
Once your cards are counted and verified, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle hits within 48 hours. Store credit option pays a 10% bonus.
We email you a prepaid label the moment your submission is approved. Under $50? Shipping is a flat $6 deducted from payout — never a surprise.
If our count differs from yours by more than 2%, we send you a photo breakdown before adjusting anything. You approve first, always.
