Sell Us Your Cards
We are always looking to buy collections; single cards and sealed boxes in our shop and at card shows around the country! To sell us your cards, please visit us in our Denville shop (find our location here), and you will have several potential selling opportunities from not only direct from the TCE store, but also from our various vendors who are in attendance in-store! Unless you state you are specifically meeting with a particular vendor during your visit, you will be assigned to vendor(s) via a Round Robin system to give you the potential from multiple sources to sell your cards.

Aforementioned business day turnaround times are estimates. Time doesn’t start until the submission and cards are processed by PSA.

- Submissions MUST be paid for up front. Payment can be made in-store
- Make sure your physical cards are in the SAME order of your submission form
