What We're Buying

WE BUY/TRADE ON MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY ONLY, unless by appointment.

Looking to sell or trade your cards? We’d love to take a look!

To save you a trip (and save us both some time), here is a quick guide to what we’re actively buying right now and what we typically pass on. It is Always a good idea to give us a call prior to bringing anything in so that we can make sure you're not wasting your precious time. If you are bringing in a large collection you Must call ahead to make sure we have time to review the cards. Bringing in your cards in an organized manner helps speed up the process for everyone involved. They do not need to be in number or player order, but if a collection is too difficult to sort through, you may be asked to organize it and come back. Your best bet is to pull out what you would consider to be your "best cards" for us to look at first and foremost. 

While this list doesn't cover every single thing, it gives you a great starting point for what we’re looking for when you bring your collection in:

  • 80's & 90's Basketball cards, particularly Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, KG, Duncan, Magic, Bird, Barkley, 90's inserts, basically the bigger name players and shiny, foil inserts. 
  • Vintage Sports (1970's or later)
    • The bigger names the better.
    • We are currently working through a backlog here and will be limiting the amount we are able to go through or take in. Please call ahead.
  • Autographed Cards, Memorabilia, Misc Items with Authentication From a Reputable Company.
    • Must be authenticated by one of the following: PSA, JSA, Beckett, Panini, Upper Deck, Steiner, or Schwartz. Some local charities selling OSU items may also be acceptable, but please contact us prior to bringing in.  If what you have is not authenticated, please let us know and we may be able to help you get it authenticated by one of these companies.
  • Sealed Sports & Non Sports Boxes (80's to Modern Products)
    • If you have any sealed products that are slightly damaged, torn, smashed, we may still be able to take them in at a discount.
  • Basketball Cards: Lebron James, Wembanyama, Stephen Curry, SGA, Anthony Edwards, modern rookies, SP inserts and bigger name players in general.  Vintage cards of the more popular players and some semi-stars will be considered. 
  • Football Cards:  Vintage to modern cards, HOF & popular players, Ohio State current or former players are almost always needed.  We'll look at 80's cards, but only the big names as the junk wax era was mass produced to point where most cards are worth mere pennies.   
  • Baseball Cards:  Same as the football cards above except for OSU players. 
  • Soccer, Hockey, WWE, UFC & Golf cards of popular players are also something we'd look at.    
  • Pokemon Items: 
    • Pokemon sealed products
    • Pokemon singles, We're being a little more picky on modern due to the current market conditions
    • Vintage Pokemon toys, games, figures, etc...  that are cleaner looking.  
  • Toys/Action Figures/Lego Sets:  Vintage to modern from popular toy lines or Lego sets will be considered.  Cleaner, intact toys and figures that are complete would be ideal, but we'll look at them if they're missing weapons or pieces as long as they're not body parts or pieces that crucial to the overall functionality of the toy.  If they're dirty beyond light cleaning with soap & water please don't bring them in.  
  • OSU Football related items.  We'll almost always look at any unique or funky OSU football related items.  

There are also some items that we are simply not interested in or currently have a backlog of. This list is also not all encompassing but we do our best to make sure you do not waste your time bringing in things we do not need or cannot use in the shop.

  • Junk Wax Cards:  80's-mid 90's baseball or football in general. We will take a look at the biggest players from that time if you are bringing them in pre-sorted.  Large totes or binders full of junk wax cards will be turned away unless pre-sorted by the seller. 
  • Currently we are not taking in bulk collections until we are able to catch up on some backlog. If you believe you truly have something worth us looking through please call to make an appointment or set up a drop off and pick up time.
  • Comic books or Video Games
  • Magazines such as Beckett or Sports Illustrated  
    • We may take a look if they feature either Micheal Jordan, Kobe Bryant, OSU football related or Vintage sports relating to HOF players.
  • Autographed Memorabilia or Misc items with no authentication or reputable authentication
    • Let us know if you need help acquiring authentication, we may be able to assist!  We absolutely will not purchase items without proper authentication.  Even if you or your dad, mom, brother, sister, grandpa, grandma or long lost cousin had the item signed in person and have a photo of the signing.  
  • No starting line-ups unless they are Jordan or Kobe.
  • Music related items such as records, cassette tapes, CDs, magazines, etc...  unless you call ahead and confirm you have something we can use in the shop.  

If you are looking to sell anything not noted above please call the shop at 614-819-3396 and let us know what you have.
