All Vintage Cards – Buy List

All Vintage Cards Is Always Buying – Top $$ Paid

To improve our flow of inquiries (we get a lot of emails), we put together this comprehensive buy list to help collectors distinguish whether All Vintage Cards is a good fit as a monetization partner.

It doesn’t mean your cards are worthless if it’s not here.

These are just the items we are looking to add to our inventory. Note that sometimes, for special items, an auction can be a good way to monetize them, something we can certainly help with by referring you to one of our vintage auction partners.

Note. We are primarily buying vintage cards from 1969 and older.

That said, our major buying focus right now is 19th-century, PRE-WAR Tobacco, Early Gum, Caramel, and Exhibit Cards.  

Big-time early stars such as Cobb, Wagner,  Mathewson, Walter Johnson etc. 

Typically, the older, the better

A full list is listed below, so the above highlights are not everything we are buying…

There are some exceptions to that pre-1969 rule as listed below (aka Brady and Jordan rookies), but if you write to us about other cards from the 1970s to the present, there’s a high likelihood we will not return your inquiry. Sad to say, but nearly all of the cards from the mid to late 1970s, 1980s and 1990s were produced in massive quantities and hard for us to resell at a profit.
