How to sell Pokémon cards without doing the homework
Most people asking how much their Pokémon cards are worth have a binder or shoebox from the late 1990s or 2000s and no idea where to start. Sorting, pricing and listing a collection card by card can take weeks, and shipping single cards to strangers rarely pays for the effort.
We buy whole collections directly, so you skip all of it. Photograph what you have, answer a few quick questions, and we'll tell you what you're holding and what we can pay - usually the same day. Accept with one tap and your prepaid, insured label is on its way. No fees, no listing, no account.

How we calculate offers
Every offer is built from the cards themselves - what they are, what shape they're in, and what collections like them have actually sold for recently.
Rarity and set
Some cards were printed in far smaller numbers than others, and the set a card came from matters as much as the card itself.
Condition
Wear, surface scratches and edge damage all affect value. Cards that were stored well in sleeves command noticeably more.
Grading
If any cards are graded and sealed in a slab, the grade on the label is factored in. Ungraded cards are assessed by eye from your photos.
What cards actually sell for
Offers are benchmarked against what comparable cards and collections have actually sold for - not asking prices, but real completed sales.
We'll be straight with you: an offer for a whole collection is less than you'd get selling card by card on eBay. That's the trade-off for one photo submission, one conversation and payment without weeks of listing, fees, packing and shipping individual cards to strangers - and without the risk of chargebacks or a buyer who never pays. If you'd like to understand how we arrived at a specific offer, just ask and we'll walk you through it. You're always free to decline.
Who you're selling to
Tobias Mooney
Collector and buyer, Card Scout
I've been collecting Pokémon cards for over 15 years, starting with the sets I opened as a kid in the late 1990s. What began as a hobby turned into a genuine passion for the vintage era - the sets, the print runs and the small details that make one card worth far more than the one sitting next to it.
I buy collections because I love the hobby - the chase never gets old. Every collection is a little treasure hunt, and I look at every submission myself. I'll tell you what you have, make you an offer, and the rest is up to you!
Peace of mind, guaranteed
Selling a collection you've had for years can feel like a big step. Here's how we make it easy.
How is my shipment insured?
We have insurance through all of our US shipping carriers, so your package is covered from the moment it is scanned until it reaches us.
Do I have to know what my cards are worth?
No. Most people don't. That's exactly why we ask for photos instead of a list.
How much are my Pokémon cards worth?
It depends on the sets, the years and the condition. Photos of your cards are the fastest way to find out, and we'll give you an honest read.
Is it better to sell Pokémon cards individually or as a collection?
Selling individually can pay more per card but takes weeks of sorting, listing and shipping. Selling the whole collection at once is one conversation and one payment.
How fast do I get paid?
Accept your offer and we send a prepaid, insured shipping label straight away. Payment goes out within 24 hours of your package arriving and passing a quick check.
What does it cost me?
Nothing at all. There are no fees and we cover the insured shipping both ways if anything needs to come back.
Do I need to create an account?
No account and no password. Just photos, a few quick questions and how to reach you.
