Sell your Pokémon cards in Newport News and Hampton
Your old binder is in a closet in Hilton Village, Phoebus, or Kiln Creek, and you would rather not carry it to a store counter. Send us photos for a free offer within 12 to 24 hours, then meet us at a local card show or our Norfolk spot.
Who buys Pokémon cards in Newport News and Hampton?
Several Peninsula stores buy cards. Some work from a buylist, a list of the cards they are buying right now, and some take whole collections.
Mango Market has no shop. You send photos, and Nick replies within 12 to 24 hours with a free offer and how we got to it. Then we meet at a local card show or at our Norfolk spot across the water, usually on weekday evenings after 5 and on weekends, or at your home for a larger collection, and you are paid in cash. Comparing us with a store first is a good idea.
Where do we meet sellers from the Peninsula?
Our two regular spots are on the Southside, and the closer one for most Peninsula sellers is our Norfolk spot, a police exchange zone with a lobby open 24 hours. Peninsula card shows work too, so text ahead.
For a larger collection, we come to you, or meet at one of these Peninsula exchange spots if you would rather not use your home.

40 Lincoln St, Hampton, VA 23669
WTKR reported in December 2020 that Hampton Police had an exchange spot in front of this building, watched by cameras day and night. The city’s police page did not mention it when we checked, so call the non-emergency line, (757) 727-6111, before you count on it.

Green circles are police exchange zones. C comes from a 2020 news report, not a city page. Checked October 4, 2026.
Newport News Police advise meeting strangers in a public place, and these spots are made for that. At home, family or a friend is welcome, and you only share the address after you have the offer.
Sellers under 18 need a parent or guardian at the meetup who approves the sale. More on selling safely

How selling to us works
Send photos
Use the offer form or text pictures to (757) 394-0583. Binder pages and stacks are fine. If we need a closer look at a card, we will ask.
Get a free offer
We reply within 12 to 24 hours with an offer and how we got there. It costs nothing, and you can say no.
Meet and sell
We meet at our Norfolk or Virginia Beach spot or at a local card show, and for bigger collections we can come to you. We look the cards over together and finish the sale in person. You are paid in cash at the meetup.
For in-demand cards, we usually pay 70 to 80% of what the same card in the same condition has recently sold for. The more valuable and in demand the card, the higher the share. Lower-value cards and bulk are counted and priced as one lot. How we work out an offer
Also buying in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and everywhere else in Hampton Roads.
