I have recently been given a load of these magic cards and when I say a loads I'm speaking in the hundreds and thousands range.i don't kaveri a clue what to do with them some are in folders some are in boxes they have came with boxes of comics and the pokemon cards but my kid wants those does anyone have an idea what to do with thwm thanks
the question is what you want from the situation.
1. You said that your child wants “those”. Does those refer to the comics and Pokémon cards (where you don’t know what to do with the mtg card)? Does those refer to the binders and boxes those cards are in? (Meaning you’d have nowhere to store the magic cards)? If he wants the magic cards... what else would you need to do?
I know that there are people who can do collection appraisals (such as what you’d need if you want insurance on your newfound collection). If you want to contact one just to verify that your child wouldn’t accidentally be playing around with a card worth as much as a used car, go ahead. Are there any other concerns you have?
I mean, if you just want to free up space and get rid of the cards, you are free to put them up on eBay and quite a few people would probably pay something for what is essentially a random lot if that’s not an option.
Thanks for the reply. My son would like to keep hold of the pokemon cards and I've googled a few and unbelievable the prices of these things..... the magic cards on the other hand there is far to many of them to even wrap my head around what's good or not so I think a sale would be thw best factor in bulk but I can imagine shipping would cost an absolute fortune as there is millions of them and that's an understatement
So... as far as getting bang for your buck, the best medium for getting all of those cards out is filling those cardboard containers you can get at game stores (like this one) and sell those for $20-25 a pop. It would probably take a while, though, and there’s no guarantee how many would sell.
Going by common trends for MTG lots on EBay, you could probably make item look more appealing with some time and research. If you spend the time and effort locating the best cards in your lot and can list those front and center as “possible wins”... well, it’s kind of scummy but a whole lot of people do that (again, that might be a reason to have the collection assessed, though that would be a sizeable up-front cost if going through everything takes several hours).
I’ve heard that some card stores (online or in person) buy bulk for tiny amounts so that is also an option.
If you have the patience, going through the collection to know what you have and then blatantly undercutting other sellers on TCGplayer so other shops buy your things might work (as the customer would be paying for shipping).
I don’t know too much of the nuts and bolts of collection selling but I hope some of that may give ideas.
Superb thanks very much for the information I recently downloaded an app called TCG player it scans and prices the cards accordingly to a percentage of the websites value I think but I have scanned 341 of the cards and so far I have a value of over $581 this is going to be very time consuming as there is soo many it will probably take weeks I think I will go for the bulk options sale
