Turn your extra singles, graded slabs, sealed boxes, and bulk into cash or store credit. We provide transparent, market-indexed valuations with quick turnaround times on every submission.
How We Value Your Cards
We use real-time UK market transaction data to ensure transparent, fair pricing across all products:
-
Pokémon Singles: Recent eBay UK completed sold data, verified via PulseTCG and CollectTCG.
-
One Piece & MTG Singles: Hybrid valuation based on lowest Cardmarket UK English listings and eBay UK sold listings.
-
Graded Slabs (ACE & PSA): Evaluated against verified UK secondary market sales and recent auction averages.
-
Sealed Booster Boxes & Tins: UK retail market averages across active, verified hobby stockists.
Condition Notice: All base quotes assume Near Mint (NM) condition. Cards with visible edge whitening, surface scratches, or centering defects will be quoted with adjusted condition tiers upon physical inspection.

Please bundle bulk neatly in stacks of 50 or 100 with paper bands or cling wrap. Avoid using elastic bands, as they damage card edges.
