Have a Vintage Card Collection to Sell?
Let's Talk.

 

For over 20 years, I've specialized in helping people get a fair price for their vintage card collections. Since 2004, I’ve purchased more than 400 private collections, and the best part of my job is hearing the stories behind them. I am easy to deal with and do everything I can to make the process simple and comfortable. In most cases, I travel directly to you to view the collection in person. While I'm based in the Midwest, I've traveled all over the country—from California to Florida to Maine (and Canada)—to evaluate and purchase collections.

 

 

What I Buy: Specializing in Vintage

 

As a vintage card dealer, my main focus is on cards from the 1970s and earlier. I buy:
 

• All Major Sports: Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, and Boxing.

• Pre-1980 Cards: The older, the better!

• Non-Sports Cards: Fun sets like Three Stooges, Mars Attacks, or other cards based on old TV shows and movies.
   

What about newer cards? While my expertise is in vintage, I sometimes purchase modern cards if they are part of a larger, older collection. If you only have modern cards (1980s to present), feel free to contact me anyway. If I'm not the right buyer, I'll gladly point you toward someone who is.

What Sellers Say...

 

"I would give Golden Era Cards a 5 star rating!  Isaac was great.  I emailed him about my NFL cards I had of the 1960's that I was looking to sell.  He came to my house and looked at my cards and the next day made a fair offer, and a few days later he returned and the sale was completed.  It was so easy.  I am grateful that these cards can be appreciated by others instead of just sitting in my closet.  I highly recommend Golden Era Cards."

-James in Adell, WI

“I had a great experience selling my baseball card  collection to Isaac from Golden Era Cards. Isaac came to my house after we corresponded via email on what my collection consisted of. He gave me a generous offer and a few days later the sale was complete. I highly recommend Golden Era Cards.”

-Bill in Cleveland, OH
 

“We found Isaac from Golden ERA holds the professionalism, ethics and character we were looking for. He spent time to do a thorough and fair evaluation of the collection. He is extremely knowledgeable about the hobby and card values. Our collection was huge with over 350,000 cards some dating back to 1910. We knew what we had and its resale value. His offer for the entire collection was fair and matched our expectation, and was not a low-ball offer made by others. Throughout the process he treated us and our collection with the upmost respect.”

-Dennis & Bev in Baroda, MI

Ready to Get Started?

 

The best way to begin is by sending me an email. Tell me a little bit about what you have.
 

• What kinds of cards are they (sports, years, etc.)?

• How did you come across the collection?

• If you can, please snap a few photos! This is really the best way for me to get an idea of what you have.

 

Don't worry if you don't know all the details—that's what I'm here for. We'll figure it out together.

As I've said, email is the best, especially if you have photos of your cards. But feel free to give me a call. I get a lot of robocalls, so I don't always answer unknown numbers, and I may be golfing, but please leave a voicemail with your name and a brief message, and I promise to get back to you soon.​​
