What to ask about
Sports & trading cards Jim buys
- Vintage baseball cards, including pre-1974 cards
- Selected higher-value modern sports cards
- Sports and trading card collections, sets and individual cards
- Cards already in grading holders, along with any existing labels or paperwork
These are buying interests, not a promise to buy every item. Tell Jim what you have before making plans.
Make the first conversation useful
What to send by text
- Show a group photo, then the fronts and backs of a few of the cards you think may be important.
- Include the year, player or set name if you know it. Photograph grading labels clearly.
- Leave cards in sleeves or holders. Tell Jim roughly how many cards or boxes you have.
Before you do anything: No need to sort an entire collection before the first call. An overview and a few readable examples give Jim a useful place to start.
Not every card or modern collection has the same demand. Year, player, set and condition help determine whether the cards are a buying fit; no offer is promised from a photograph.
