Sell Your Pokémon & Trading Card Collection
Pokémon is the category Chrono Collectibles most wants to buy, and the one we chase hardest. We also buy Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, One Piece and the other major games. What we are looking for is graded cards, sealed product and valuable singles in near-mint condition — and we are selective about common modern bulk, which is worth cents a card however many of it there is.
…and plenty more. All trademarks belong to their owners.

By game
- Pokémon — Base Set through current, our first priority
- Magic: The Gathering — Alpha through modern

What actually drives the price
Era matters more than rarity
A common card from 1999 often beats a rare card from 2021. Vintage Pokémon, early Magic and first-run Yu-Gi-Oh carry value almost regardless of what the card does. If your collection is old, say so first.
Centering and surface on vintage
For anything that might grade well, centering, edges and surface are most of the price. Do not clean, trim or sleeve-swap anything — it damages value and it is visible. Photograph it as-is and let us assess.
Sealed stays sealed
Never open sealed product to see what is inside. A sealed vintage booster box is worth far more intact than the sum of its packs, and an opened box cannot be un-opened. If you are tempted, call us first.
Bulk is a passenger, not a reason
Modern commons and uncommons are worth cents each, and a long box of them is worth a few dollars however neatly it is sorted. We will take bulk by count alongside cards we actually want, which is usually the outcome a seller is after. A submission that is only bulk is one we will normally pass on, and we would rather say that now than waste your afternoon.
How selling works
- Send photos and details. Use the form below, or text them to 727-351-2313. Shelf-level photos are fine to start — you do not need to itemise anything.
- We research and make an offer. We check recent sold prices, not guide values, and come back with a specific number and the reasoning behind it.
- You get paid. Accept and we arrange pickup or shipping, and pay on collection. No fees, no consignment wait.
We do local pickup around Temple Terrace, FL · Thurmont, MD · Frederick, MD, and we buy by mail from anywhere in the US. Not sure which makes sense? Ask — we will tell you.
Questions about selling pokémon & trading cards
Where can I sell my Pokémon card collection for cash?
Chrono Collectibles buys Pokémon collections outright and pays cash, and Pokémon is the category we most want to buy. We are looking for graded cards, sealed product, vintage raw cards and valuable near-mint singles. Send photos and we will come back with a researched offer — free, and with no obligation to accept.
Should I get my cards graded before selling?
Usually not. Grading costs money and months of waiting, and it only pays off on high-value cards in genuinely excellent condition. Chrono Collectibles prices raw cards on their grading potential anyway, so for most collections you net more by selling raw than by paying to grade first.
Do you buy bulk commons and unsorted cards?
As part of a collection, yes. If there are graded cards, sealed product, vintage or valuable singles in the mix, Chrono Collectibles will take the bulk with them rather than leaving you holding it, priced by count. Common modern bulk on its own is not something we are buying at the moment — it is worth cents a card and the postage usually costs more than the cards. You do not need to sort or sleeve anything before sending photos.

Got more than pokémon & trading cards?
