When selling your baseball cards or sports card collection, two of the most important factors to consider are how much you can expect to make from the sale and how long it will take to complete the sale. 

The two most common methods for sellers are to sell through an auction house or sell directly to a top rated sports card store. While auction houses may sound like an attractive option for a seller looking to get maximum value for their cards, the truth is most sellers see high fees and low return from selling their cards at auction.

Why sell to us instead of dealing with an auction house? 

American Legends has a reputation for fairness, honesty, and top dollar sales. Since 1992 we’ve been buying and selling sports cards and you’ll benefit from our expertise with a selling experience that is simple, fast, and pays you top dollar for your collection. 

Upfront and Straightforward Offer

When you sell your cards to American Legends, you’ll know exactly how much money you will make selling your card collection from the beginning. We give you the certainty of an exact figure that we will pay for your collection. 

Auction Houses: When an auction item goes on the block, it may do well, but it also may fall significantly short of your expectations. You won’t know until your items are sold and by then, it’s too late

Maximize the Value of Your Collection

We’re interested in buying single cards, lots, and full collections. We assess each card you have to sell to give you an offer that is fair and takes into consideration the full value of your items. 

Auction Houses: Auction houses love high dollar items, but they don’t want to deal with items they judge as not easy to sell. They will also group some items into larger packages that will undersell the items’ value.

Make More from the Sale

Selling your sports cards to American Legends means you keep your profits instead of sharing them with an auction house.  We stand by our commitment to integrity and honesty. We have no hidden fees!

Auction Houses: Typically, auction houses charge fees that wind up costing the seller close to 40%. Many sellers notice the 20% seller fee but ignore the 20% buyer’s premium. That 20% buyer’s premium cuts directly into the proceeds that you might receive from an auction sale because bidders in the auction will reduce their bids to account for the extra 20% that they’ll be paying.
