Frequently Asked Questions
Questions? We have answers.
Why should I sell to MAX Cards?
MAX Cards has over 60 years experience in the industry. We have bought and sold millions of dollars worth of collectibles and offer industry-leading prices, complimentary evaluations, secure shipping, and flexible payment options.
Will MAX Cards buy everything or only my best cards?
Unlike many sellers and auction houses, MAX Cards will NOT cherry pick your collection! If your goal is to sell everything, we will buy everything. We sell through a variety of channels so we are able to utilize cards of all types and values.
Do you buy modern cards?
Absolutely! We prefer rare inserts and autographs but we will consider just about anything.
What about cards from the 80’s and 90’s?
Aside from a few non-baseball releases, cards from the mid-80’s to early 90’s are usually worth less than $0.01. Unfortunately they end up costing us more to sell than they are worth. We will not buy them if they are the only cards in your collection, but we will still buy them if your collection also contains more desirable cards.
Do you assist in tax planning when I sell my collection?
We will work with your CPA to make sure all disposition decisions are prudent.
How do you determine the value of my cards?
Our team of experts evaluates cards based on several factors: current market demand, condition, rarity, player popularity, historical sales data, and authentication/grading. We stay updated on market trends to ensure our offers reflect true market value.
What information should I provide about my collection?
The more details, the better! Include the type of cards (sport/game), era/years, notable players or sets, approximate quantity, condition, and whether any cards are graded or authenticated. Clear photos are extremely helpful for providing an accurate initial offer.
Is there a minimum value for collections you will buy?
While we accept collections of all sizes, our free shipping service is available for collections valued at $250 or more. For smaller collections, you can still use our mail-in option or local drop-off if applicable.
