What I'm Looking For

Hunting for vintage Pokémon cards from the late 90s and early 2000s era. Here's what catches my eye.

🔥

Charizard

Any condition, any set

🌊

Blastoise

Base Set holos

🌿

Venusaur

Classic starters

✨

Holo Rares

Any Base Set holos

📚

Old Binders

📦

Bulk Cards

Early sets (1999-2003)

✓ Played Cards Are Totally Fine

I'm not expecting PSA 10s or anything like that. If your cards are scratched, have edge wear, or were shuffled into decks as a kid — that's perfectly okay. I'm buying nostalgia, not perfection.

// Protocol

How It Works

Simple four-step process. No pressure, no games.

01

Reach Out & Describe Your Cards

Fill out the form with details about your collection. Include what sets, condition, and any notable cards like Charizard or holos.

02

Get a Price Breakdown

I'll review your cards and send you an itemized offer. I'll be upfront about what I'm interested in and what each card is worth.

03

Secure Payment via PayPal

If you accept, I pay through PayPal Goods & Services so you're protected. You ship the cards, I confirm receipt, done.

04

Frequently Asked Questions

I check recent sold listings on eBay, TCGPlayer, and other marketplaces to see what cards are actually selling for. I'll give you a fair price based on condition and current market value. You're welcome to verify my offers yourself — I'll be transparent about how I arrived at each price.
Yes! Played cards, edge wear, scratches, whitening — that's all fine with me. I'm collecting for nostalgia, not grading. Obviously heavily damaged cards (creased, torn, water damage) are worth less, but I'll still make offers on them if you want to sell.
No problem! Just describe what you have in the form and I'll ask follow-up questions. Once we connect, you can send photos via email and I'll identify everything for you. I'm happy to tell you what you have and what it's worth — even if you decide not to sell. Think of it as a free appraisal.
I pay via PayPal Goods & Services, which protects both of us. Once we agree on a price, you ship the cards (I'll help cover shipping for larger lots). When I receive and verify everything, I release payment immediately. No waiting, no games.
For smaller sales, you'd ship the cards (usually just a few dollars in a padded envelope). For larger collections or high-value purchases, I'll cover shipping or factor it into my offer. We'll work out the details together.
I'm mainly focused on vintage cards (1999-2003 era), but feel free to show me what you have. If you've got something interesting from newer sets, I might still be interested or can point you in the right direction.
eBay takes roughly 13% in fees, plus you have to deal with listings, shipping logistics, buyer disputes, and scam risks. Selling directly to me is simple: one conversation, one payment, done. You might get slightly less than a perfect eBay auction, but you save the hassle and fees.
I typically respond within 24 hours, often much faster. I know you want to get this sorted quickly, and I respect your time.

Collector & Founder

I'm Brian — just a 90s kid who grew up collecting Pokémon cards and never really stopped. I'm not a store or a reseller trying to flip your cards for profit. I'm building a personal collection of the cards I loved as a kid, and I'd rather buy directly from real people than deal with eBay middlemen. If you've got cards sitting around collecting dust, let's chat. Even if we don't make a deal, I'm happy to help you figure out what you've got.
