Selling yourself is a second job
We Don't Just List Your Cards.
We Choose the Best Way to Sell Them.
Poore Sports Cards evaluates each collection and selects the selling strategy that best fits the card, the current market, and your goals — not a one-size-fits-all pipeline.
Tell Us What You Have
Fill out our quick intake form with details about your collection — card types, era, quantity, and estimated value.
Ship or Drop Off
Choose how to get your cards to us — two easy options.
We Choose the Best Strategy
We evaluate every card and pick the selling approach that fits — fixed price, auction, lots, or grading you approve.
You Get Paid
Choose weekly, monthly or quarterly payouts after the buyer's payment clears. ACH is preferred.
Our Consignment Rates
Your card's final selling price determines the commission tier. We then deduct actual marketplace fees and any previously approved direct selling costs before calculating our commission. Standard protective packaging is included.
When we agree to sell cards together as a lot, the lot's total selling price determines the commission tier. Commission applies once to the lot.
Buyer-paid shipping and sales tax are excluded from the selling price. Any additional processing or special-service charge must be disclosed and agreed to before intake.
The commission tier is set by the price your card actually sells for. If a card is repriced or sold by auction and sells for less than first expected, the tier that matches the final sale price applies.
Example
A card sells for $20. After a $2 marketplace fee, $18 remains. PSC's commission is $6.30, and you receive $11.70. This example assumes no additional approved costs.
What comes out of your sale
- ✓Actual marketplace fees, passed through at cost with no markup.
- ✓Any direct selling cost we agreed to with you beforehand. Nothing else is deducted.
- ✓Buyer-paid shipping is paid by the buyer. It is not deducted from your proceeds.
- ✓Standard protective packaging is included at no extra charge.
- ✓If you choose our prepaid inbound shipping label, its cost is disclosed first and deducted from proceeds. Ship with your own carrier and nothing is deducted.
Have a Large Collection?
There is no automatic per-card intake fee. For cards expected to sell below $10, Poore Sports Cards reviews the collection and recommends the approach that makes the most sense. Large bulk submissions with significant low-value content may carry a small processing fee — always disclosed and agreed to before we accept the collection, never charged as a surprise.
Individually list stronger or more marketable cards
Group into player, team, set, rookie, insert, or other logical lots
Offer a direct bulk purchase when appropriate
Return cards that don't make financial sense to list
Donate cards at the consignor's direction when requested
Individual listing of cards expected to sell below $10 may carry a small processing fee per card. Any such fee is discussed and agreed to before we accept the collection — never applied automatically or after the fact.
Collections of all sizes and values welcome for review
Whether you have a few cards or a few boxes, send it over. Acceptance and selling method depend on demand, condition, and costs.
Find Your Service
Cards expected to sell for $10 or more are generally eligible for individual consignment. Cards below $10 are reviewed and may be listed, bundled, purchased, or returned — donation is always the consignor's choice, never assumed.
Poore Sports Cards Standard
$10+ cards individually listed and sold through the best-fit channel.
Poore Sports Cards Bulk Collections
We determine the best mix of individual listings, lots, direct purchase, returns, or donations. No automatic per-card intake charge — though large bulk submissions with significant low-value content may carry a small processing fee, always disclosed and agreed to before intake.
Poore Sports Cards Premium
Custom selling strategy for high-value collections. Cards that sell for $2,500+ fall in our lowest published commission tier, 10% of net proceeds.
Poore Sports Cards Grading Option
Want a card graded? We can submit it to PSA, BGS, or SGC for you. We never predict a grade. Grading is only done with your written approval, and the fee is agreed before anything is submitted. The grading fee is your cost whether or not the card sells. It comes out of the sale proceeds, and if the card doesn't sell, it is deducted from your other proceeds or billed to you.
How We Sell Your Cards
Fixed Price / Best Offer
For cards where protecting market value matters.
Auction
For liquid cards where buyer competition may help maximize the final price.
Player / Team / Set Lots
For lower-value cards that perform better together than individually.
Grade, Then Sell
When you approve grading. The fee is your cost and comes out of the proceeds.
Direct Purchase
For customers who prefer immediate cash instead of waiting for consignment.
Multi-Channel Selling
We select the sales channel that best fits your card — not just whatever is easiest for us.

Payouts on Your Schedule
Channels include eBay, Collx, Whatnot (coming soon), card shows, and other approved marketplaces. We choose based on your card, not convenience.
📦 How to Get Your Cards to Us
Two easy options — pick whichever works best for you.
Prepaid Shipping Option
For qualifying collections, Poore Sports Cards may provide a prepaid shipping label so the consignor does not have to pay the shipping cost upfront.
How it works:
The exact shipping cost will be disclosed and deducted from the consignor's proceeds before payout. No immediate out-of-pocket expense — just a clear, upfront disclosure before the collection ships.
- ✓No immediate out-of-pocket shipping expense
- ✓Shipping cost disclosed before the collection is sent
- ✓Shipping cost deducted from proceeds before payout
- ✓Insurance may be recommended for higher-value shipments
Ship on Your Own
Consignors may purchase their own shipping and send via an approved carrier. When the consignor pays the carrier directly, that inbound shipping cost is not deducted from the consignment proceeds.
Best for:
Consignors who already have shipping supplies, prefer their own carrier, or want to keep inbound shipping separate from proceeds.
- ✓Inbound shipping cost not deducted from your proceeds
- ✓Ship via USPS, UPS, FedEx — your choice
- ✓We recommend insuring high-value shipments
Local Collection Meeting by Appointment
Collectors throughout Tampa Bay may be able to arrange an in-person collection meeting by appointment. Poore Sports Cards is not currently a public walk-in retail location.

Built on a legacy.
The Dragonfly Impact Project is inspired by my mom — the kind of person who showed up for people. A meal. A donation. An open door. We're carrying that same spirit forward through the hobby.
Give Back · Dragonfly Impact ProjectWe don't just sell cards — we create impact.
At Poore Sports Cards & Collectibles, we believe the hobby is bigger than cards — it's about people, community, and giving back.
Through our Dragonfly Impact Project, a portion of every sale helps put cards in kids' hands, support local communities, and create meaningful moments for those who need it most.
Family-Run. Collector-First.
