Don't want to wait for consignment? We buy collections outright — fast cash, fair prices, no hassle. From shoeboxes to monster boxes, we want to see what you've got.
Bulk Base Cards
Standard base cards in good condition. Our per-card offer is based on condition, sport, year, and current demand — we'll give you a transparent number after reviewing.
Bulk w/ Inserts & Numbered
Bulk lots that include inserts, numbered parallels, refractors, and other premium cards mixed in. We need to see the cards to determine the offer — the quality of the mix, condition, and demand all factor in. Better cards mean a better rate.
Higher-End Cards & Collections
Got graded slabs, rookies, autos, patches, or a curated collection? We pay up to 85% of recent comparable sales for higher-end cards and collections. Every deal is different — reach out and let's talk.
Offers vary based on the card, condition, collection quality, and current market demand. “Up to 85%” does not guarantee that every card or collection will receive that percentage.

📦 How to Get Your Cards to Us
Ship to Us
Shipping arrangements and applicable costs will be discussed and confirmed before an accepted collection is sent.
Local Meetup
In the Tampa Bay area? We can arrange a convenient meetup to check out your collection in person.
Fast Cash for Cards
No waiting. No listing. No fees. We make an offer and pay you on the spot.
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 grade first.
You Get Paid
Weekly payouts are standard for eligible proceeds. Monthly payouts may also be arranged. ACH is preferred.
Transparent Commission Rates
Unlike many consignment services that only accept high-value singles, we work with collections of any size. Our commission is calculated on net proceeds — your card's sale price minus actual marketplace fees and shipping. Never a flat fee that eats into a low-value sale, and never a guessing game about what those fees actually cost you.
Platform seller fees (eBay, Whatnot, Fanatics Collect, etc.) are passed through at cost — no markup, ever.
Example: $100 Card Sale
Here's exactly where every dollar goes on a $100 sale.
passed through at cost
passed through at cost
$100–$499.99 tier
That means you keep roughly 69% of the total sale price — even after every real marketplace fee and shipping cost is covered. We show you exactly where every dollar goes instead of hiding fees inside a single flat percentage.
* Marketplace fees vary by platform, payment processing, and transaction. Amounts shown are for illustration only.
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.
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 at $2,500+ are consigned at our published 7% rate — competitive with the largest names in the hobby.
Poore Sports Cards Grade & Sell
We assess your raw cards and give an honest grade estimate before anything is submitted. You approve first, then the grading fee is collected upfront before we submit — no surprises at settlement. If the grade disappoints, you choose: sell the graded card or take it back. The grading fee is already covered either way.
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 First
When grading may materially increase the card's value.
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.
Scanning & Photos
Pricing & Comps
Multi-Channel Selling
Customer Service
Packing & Shipping
Payouts on Your Schedule
Channels include eBay, Whatnot, card shows, and other approved marketplaces — chosen 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.
No Surprise Fees
Why Poore Sports Cards?
High-volume consignors run every card through the same pipeline. Poore evaluates each collection individually and picks the strategy that actually makes the most financial sense for the consignor. Here's how that difference shows up.
Simple pricing. Smarter selling. Personal service. No surprise fees.
