Orbley Cards — Sell your Pokémon cards

How it works

Three Simple Steps

01
Photograph the cards, slabs or product

Front and back, whole card in frame. For graded slabs, make sure the label and cert number are readable — that is what lets us price it exactly.
02
Send them through the form

Add anything you know — set, year, grade, what you are hoping to get. Partial information is fine. One card or a thousand.
03
Get a number back

We check recent verified sales for your exact card and grade, then send a cash offer with the comps we used. Accept it and we send a prepaid label.

Rates

What we pay, published up front

Our offer is a percentage of market value. Market means the average of verified comparable sales for that exact card in that exact grade over the trailing 45 days — and we show you the sales we used, so you can check our math.

Graded slabs — PSA, BGS and CGC
Market value	We pay
$0 – $100	up to 65% of market Minimum $7 per slab
$100 – $400	up to 75% of market
$401 – $1,000	up to 80% of market
$1,001 – $100,000	up to 90% of market Most deals land 80–85%

Raw cards — ungraded
Market value	We pay
$100 – $1,000	up to 80% of market Typically 70–80%, condition dependent
Over $1,000	up to 85% of market Typically 75–85%, condition dependent

Raw cards carry grading risk we cannot see in a photo, so centering, edges and surface move the number inside these ranges.

Sealed product
Category	We pay
In-print items	up to 80% of market Typically 70–80%
Out-of-print modern	up to 80% of market
Vintage boxes	up to 90% of market Typically 80–90%

Sealed vintage is priced on the seal itself. Items in mint condition are paid at a higher rate.

Rates are per item, based on that item's own market value, not the lot total. Our offer is the top of the applicable range when the card, slab or product is clean and the comps are consistent, and lower when the above requirements vary.
We pay shipping both ways, and there are no fees taken out of your number.
Above $100,000, or for full collections and estate lots, we quote individually — email us and we will work through it with you.

Questions

Before you send anything

How fast do I hear back?

Usually the same day. Straightforward graded cards often come back within the hour, because the cert number tells us exactly what it is. Large mixed collections take longer — we will tell you up front if it is going to be a day or two.

How do you decide what to offer?

We pull recent verified sales of your exact card in your exact grade, throw out the ones that are actually a different variant, and work from that. Our offer comes with the sales we used, so you can check our math instead of taking our word for it.

Do I have to accept?

No. A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Plenty of people use us just to find out what they have.

Who pays shipping?

We do. If you accept an offer we email a prepaid, insured label. Pack it flat and rigid, drop it off, and payment goes out the day it lands.

How do I get paid?

PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or a check — your pick. Same business day as the cards arrive and match the photos.

My cards are not graded. Is that a problem?

Not at all. We buy raw. Just get clean, well-lit photos of the front and back, including the corners and edges, since on raw cards condition is most of the value.
