Sell your Pokémon cards in St. Louis
I am a St. Louis buyer, not a national mail-in service with a local page. Send photos and get a real number back, usually the same day — or if you are inside 40 miles, I will come to you and pay you on the spot.
- Up to 90% of market value on graded slabs
- No fees taken out of your number
- Quick response
Who you are dealing with
One local buyer, start to finish
I cover St. Louis and the Metro East myself. I look at the cards, I make the offer, and if you are close enough I will drive out and pay you in person. There is no call centre and no middleman taking a slice of your number.
Selling locally
What is different about a St. Louis deal
Paid the way you want to be paid
Cash in hand on an in-person deal, or PayPal, Venmo, Wise or a direct wire if you would rather have it in an account. Your choice, not mine.
Nothing leaves your hands until you accept
You see the offer and the sales behind it before anything changes hands. If the number is not right, we shake hands and you keep your cards.
Both sides of the river
The river is a state line, not a boundary on my map. Belleville, Edwardsville, Collinsville, Granite City and Alton are the same drive to me as St. Charles or Chesterfield, and they are covered on the same terms.
Coverage
Where I will meet you in person
Anywhere inside about 40 miles of St. Louis. Outside it, mail-in works the same way and I send you a prepaid shipping label — being far away costs you nothing but a couple of days.

Getting paid
Pick how the money reaches you
On an in-person deal you can walk away with cash. If you would rather have it land in an account, say so and it goes out the same day. No fee comes off your number for any of these — the offer you accept is the amount you get.
- Cash In person, on the spot
- PayPal Goods & Services or Friends and Family
- Venmo Instant to your balance
- Wise Low-fee transfers
- Wire transfer Direct to your bank

What we pay
The rates are the same everywhere, and they are published
Local shops generally pay 60–75% of market value on graded cards and 40–60% on raw. Orbley pays up to 90% on graded slabs, with most deals landing 80–85% — and the offer shows you the comparable sales it was built from, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. No online buyer I compete with will publish a number at all.

St. Louis questions
Asked locally
Can I just meet you somewhere instead of shipping?
Yes, anywhere sensible inside about 40 miles of St. Louis. A coffee shop or a bank lobby is fine — plenty of people prefer somewhere public, and so do I.
Do I get paid on the spot?
On an in-person deal, yes. You see the offer, you accept it, and you walk away with cash. If you would rather not carry it, I can send it by PayPal, Venmo, Wise or a direct wire before you leave the table instead.
My collection is huge and unsorted. Is that a problem?
No — and it is the main reason to do this in person rather than by photo. Unsorted boxes are much faster to go through on a table than through a camera.
What if I decide not to sell?
Then you keep your cards and we are done. Getting a number costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Do you only want vintage?
Vintage is where we pay the most, but we buy modern graded, sealed product and mixed collections too. Send whatever you have.
