How Selling Your Cards Works
- Send us photos or a list. Use the form above, or email a spreadsheet/list of your collection with photos to ch***@*************ds.com. Include front and back photos of your best 5-10 cards — for larger sets or commons, a few group shots are fine.
- We review and respond. We typically get back to you within 48 hours with a free, no-obligation estimate.
- Choose your path. Depending on what you have, we’ll recommend one of three routes: an immediate cash offer (fastest, usually 60-70% of market value), consignment through our auction partner for maximum value on higher-end pieces, or a straight appraisal if you just want to know what you have.
- Ship or arrange local pickup. Nationwide mail-in is welcome — we’ll walk you through secure packing. If you’re in the Boston area, we can also arrange a local, in-person buy.
- Get paid. Once your cards arrive and are verified against the photos/list, payment goes out — no surprise deductions.
Sell Your Baseball Cards – FAQs
How much can I get for my cards?
It depends on the cards, their condition, and current market demand. That’s exactly what the free estimate is for — send photos or a list and we’ll give you a real number, not a guess. We don’t guarantee offers sight-unseen, but we’re upfront about our range before you ship anything.
Is it safe to mail in my cards?
Yes, when packed correctly. We’ll tell you exactly how to pack and ship once we’ve reviewed your collection — typically top-loaders or team bags inside a rigid mailer, sent with tracking and appropriate insurance for higher-value pieces.
Do I pay for shipping?
Shipping to us is on the seller. For consigned or higher-value collections, this is usually factored into the arrangement — we’ll spell out the specifics before you send anything.
What if I don’t like the offer?
You’re under no obligation. If our estimate doesn’t work for you, we’ll send your cards back — no pressure, no hard sell.
Do you buy pre-war cards like T206 or Cracker Jack (E145)?
Yes — pre-war tobacco cards (T-series), early candy and gum cards (E-series), and strip/exhibit cards (W-series) are a core part of what we buy, including T206 and Cracker Jack issues specifically. These are some of our specialties, so if you have pre-war material, we’d especially like to see it.
How fast do you pay?
Once your cards arrive and are verified against your submitted photos or list, payment goes out promptly — no unnecessary delays.
Do you only buy baseball cards?
No — while baseball is our specialty, we also buy vintage basketball, football, and hockey cards in high grades, along with memorabilia like autographs, jerseys, bats, and signed balls.
