  • We buy collectibles with value and are happy to take a look at anything you have to determine if it’s something we can buy. We caution that the “junk wax era of sports cards” , typically years in the 1980’s and 1990’s do not carry material value. There are exceptions to this, such as sealed boxes and packs and certain insert cards.

Estate Transactions

Before contacting an estate firm,  contact us first! Estate firms conduct local auctions that limit value of the best items by forcing liquidation to a limited pool of buyers.  Leverage estate firms for bigger consumer items like dishes, clothes and furniture.  Leverage our expertise with assessing the value so you know all of the available options. We offer free assessments and multiple options that look to maximize the value of the estate before liquidating. 

Our total suite of services include grading, autograph authentication and framing.  These recommendations will enhance the value of the collection; making the payout much better.

Written Appraisals

We provide written appraisals for a host of reasons such as: Family Estate/Divorce Disputes, Homeowner’s insurance policies, etc.

Minium price $250 for in-store assessment/ $500 for outbound locations.  $50 per hour.  Our letter-head document can be forwarded to your homeowner’s insurance with value assessment. 

Also, included is our Key Value Increase Recommendations include grading, autograph authentication, framing, etc.

Consignment Option

Most of the time, we offer a lump sum payment for the entire collection.  On occasion, we offer consignment for items that are factory sealed or professionally graded. Our consignment process is auction, liquidation-based.  We offer 95% of the hammer price for items above $200; 80% for items below $200.
