We've been full-timers in the baseball card business since 1988, specializing in vintage baseball cards in all grades. We travel to many of the larger shows across the country to buy, sell, and trade vintage cards. We're well known among most vintage card dealers and collectors for our expertise and inventory in vintage baseball cards. Our ads can be found in all the major hobby publications, such as - Beckett, Tuff-Stuff, Sports Collectors Digest, PSA's Sportscard Market Report.

We're always looking to purchase older baseball cards. We're primarily interested in Pre-1970 cards, with major concentration on pre-war, and 40's to 60's era issues. We're interested in all conditions, from POOR to MINT. We buy graded and ungraded cards. We're interested in large collections, small accumulations, sets, singles, and commons. If you're looking to sell your entire collection, give us a try. If you're just looking to sell a few cards, or have interest in upgrading or downgrading something n your collection, give us a try. We pay a very competitive price based on the condition and demand for what you're trying to sell. We know what the good stuff is and will pay a big premium for it. We also know what's not so hot and will pay accordingly. We're not looking to buy from you at a sub-wholesale level, then flip it to the next dealer at a wholesale level, who will then flip it to somebody like us who will retail the cards. We buy based on knowing what the retail market is for what you're selling and will pay a very competitive price. We can also sell on consignment if that's what you're looking for, either for retail sale or at auction. We have a large active customer base and know how to get top-dollar for your cards. Whatever you're looking to sell in vintage cards we'd have an interested in buying. If you'd like to discuss the sale of something you have, please give us a call or email.

We buy cards from two basic types of people. One type is the knowledgeable collector or dealer who knows exactly what they have and what they want for it. We find that these are the easiest people to buy from. They know condition and what their stuff is worth, what it typically sells for, and we either pay a fair price or we don't get it. One needs only to take a look at our inventory to see that we must pay a very fair price. The other type of people with cards are those that have no clue as to what they have. They've stumbled on a collection and know very little about what they have. They found a price guide but don't know how the prices in it relate to what they have. Although we love to help these people learn about what they have, these are the hardest people to buy from. Anything less than the top Mint prices for their VG cards is something they don't want to hear. Until they hear the same thing from a few people it's hard to buy from them. Most collections found will contain cards of below average demand in below average condition, and they're the toughest cards to pay what appears to be a fair price on. On the opposite end of the spectrum are rare collections that contain high demand cards in top condition, and they're the easiest to buy because we'll pay more than what they were expecting. We pay a fair price relative to what we feel the cards are worth whether they're high or low demand. We either pay a fair price, or we don't get the cards. Again, one needs only look at our inventory to see that we've bought more than our fair share of cards and deals.

Please take the time to educate yourself as to what you are buying, the things to look out for, and the person you are dealing with. In every area of collectibles there are people out there looking for bargain prices on highly desirable items. If you're shopping for bargains and aren't fully aware of all the warning signs to look out for you'll quickly find yourself in trouble. The nature of the internet makes it very easy for scammers to find you or you to find a scammer. Slow down, ask questions, and talk to people that are known and trusted in the hobby. The most important thing to remember is that nobody is giving away free money, particularly to you if you don't know what you're buying. Authenticity, originality, condition, and after the sale support are all much more important aspects to consider. We're well known in the hobby for being very knowledgeable regarding what we're dealing in. We've been full time in this business since 1988, and have no plans of doing anything else. Our goal is to help you with your hobby goals for many years to come. We're here to help you figure which direction to go, we're here when you're ready to start shopping around and consider buying things, and we'll be here years from now if you need help selling your collection. When that time comes it will matter quite a bit that you made the right decisions early on. That's one of the things we like best about buying and selling PSA graded cards. It makes the whole process easier for everyone when buying and selling. If as a novice you're buying professionally graded cards by a reputable company from a professional and knowledgeable seller you will have a very positive experience in the hobby.

Here's a brief list of some nationally known dealers we've known for many years. Many of them have referred collectors to us, and we refer collectors to them when something is not our specialty. Alphabetically and by no means complete - Johnny Adams, Rich Altman, Greg Bussineau, Joe Esposito, Bill Goodwin, Mike Gordon, Bill Henderson, Bill Huggins, David Kohler, Lew Lipset, Mark Macrae, Bill Mastro, Mike Mosier, Mark Murphy, Ron Oser, Kevin Savage, James Spence, Kevin Struss, Wayne Varner, Ron Vitro, Mike Wheat, Jay Wolt, Kit Young.

We're retailers not wholesalers. We make no claims of always having the cheapest prices for everything. We price cards for what we feel they're worth at time we get them in based on the quality, demand, and our experience in the past with a similar card. We simply offer a choice and offer a large selection of cards in a wide range of condition and price. If you shop price we might have something for you, if you shop quality we might have something for you. Scarcity and demand has much to do with how we price things. Low demand cards will be priced at lower levels and high demand cards will be priced accordingly. Pricing desirable cards for retail that always sell for more than the low prices in guides is a difficult task. Many seller's won't even try to put a fixed price on their harder cards and instead will only auction them. We price cards based on many things and what similar cards are capable of selling for in a good auction is taken into consideration. We know what's good and bad and try to keep many of the more desirable cards in stock, and this means we must pay a competitive price to obtain them. In many cases the premium we're willing to pay for them exceeds what a collector who simply relies on a price guide will value them at. It's all supply and demand and we can't sell everybody the card they want at the price they want to pay. We offer a wide selection of cards and prices and most people who are actually buying cards know their area of specialty pretty well. If you're shopping card or price we'll usually have something available for you to consider and compare with what else is available out there.
