Can I sell to you at a card show?
Yes. Nick goes to most Hampton Roads card shows. Text ahead to confirm and set a time.
We do not run a vendor table, so a quick text with a few photos is all it takes. Text (757) 394-0583 to confirm Nick will be at your show, or to set up a meetup somewhere else before then.
How does selling to us at a show work?
- Text before the show with a few photos of what you are bringing. If Nick will be there too, your offer can be ready when you meet.
- Pick a time and spot inside the show. We do not run a vendor table, so we will meet you wherever is easy.
- Look over the cards together and finish the sale in person. If you also want to shop the dealer tables, that is fine by us.

What should I know before selling at a card show?
- Know your best cards first. Look up your top few with our card value guide so you know a fair offer when you hear one.
- Protect what you bring. Sleeves and toploaders for anything valuable, and a binder or box for the rest. Cards loose in a bag get damaged in a crowd.
- Get more than one offer. Dealers pay below market because they resell, and their offers vary. Walking the room is free, and comparing offers is normal, not rude.
- Ask how they got the number. A good buyer will explain their offer card by card on anything valuable.
- Bring a parent if you are under 18. Many buyers, including us, need a parent or guardian to approve a sale.
Not going to a show?
We also meet at our two spots, in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and for bigger collections we can come to you. Send photos and get a free offer within 12 to 24 hours.
