The Trust Standard
Anyone can promise fair. We publish ours — the rates we buy at, how we judge condition, and the price math — so you can check every word before you ever hand us a card.
01 · WE BUY
Published rates. The same price you see is the price we buy at.
Right now: 70% of market in store credit · 60% in cash.
“Market price” means the live price in the Best Sports/TCG Card Finder for your exact card — the same printing, the same condition, the same number you get when you look it up yourself. One price for everyone.
- Look your card up in the Finder. That’s the market price — no second, secret price for sellers.
- Scan it or bring it in — at a meet-up, at an event, or reach us through the Finder.
- We check condition together, in front of you. The final call is in person, on condition — never a switch after the fact.
- You choose: store credit at the higher rate, or cash at the published cash rate.
- Done. No haggling, no fees that appear later, no fine print.
02 · CONDITION
Photos of the actual card. Graded in the open.
Every card we sell is the card in the photo. Not a stock image, not a scan of a nicer copy — the exact card you will hold.
Near Mint here means pack-fresh: corners sharp, edges clean, a surface with no scratches or print lines under a light, no whitening, no dents, no creases. A card that doesn’t clear that bar is not listed as Near Mint — it is graded down and priced down, in the open, where you can see it.
And if a card ever arrives in worse shape than its photos and its grade — tell us. We make it right. That’s the whole policy.
03 · GRADE IT OR SKIP IT
Free triage. Grade it, sell it raw, or keep it — we show the math.
Bring a card, or scan it in the Finder, and we’ll tell you straight which way to go: what it sells for raw, what graded copies sell for, and what grading costs. Sometimes grading doubles a card’s value. Sometimes it’s money in a hole. We’ll tell you which — free, no charge, no obligation, whether or not you ever sell to us.
It’s the live version of our book, Grade It or Skip It?
LIVE AT THE TOURNAMENT · DECEMBER 19, 2026
Free card ID, live pricing, and grade-or-skip triage at our table, all day, at the Brooklyn Trainer Meet-Up: Fall Tournament. Bring your binder.
04 · PRICES YOU CAN CHECK
Live prices, sources shown, honest counts.
The Finder shows the source next to every price, and the counts on this page come from the same systems the Finder runs on — like the Community Bank, where collectors teach the Finder card by card:
If a number anywhere on this page ever disagrees with what you find in the Finder, the Finder wins — and we want to hear about it.
