Sports card appraisal services
Find out what your collection is really worth, from a buyer who prices cards against the real market every day, not a book value.
An appraisal from iBuy.cards isn't a guess from a price guide. It's a practical, market-based read on what your cards are worth today, from someone actively buying and selling in the hobby. Whether you're thinking about selling, settling an estate, or you just want to know what an inherited collection holds, we'll tell you honestly what's there and what it's worth.
Because we're a working buyer, an appraisal and a cash offer are the same conversation. Send photos of your collection, whether that's graded slabs, vintage stars, modern rookies, sealed wax, or boxes of unsorted cards. We'll walk you through what drives the value and give you a number. There's no fee and no obligation to sell.
For the two categories where valuation matters most, we've written detailed pages on how we price them: graded cards (PSA/BGS/SGC, priced against sold comps for the exact grade) and vintage cards (pre-1980, where condition can multiply value several times over).
What we can appraise
- Whole collections & estates
- Graded cards (PSA, BGS, SGC)

Appraisals: common questions
- How much does an appraisal cost?
- Nothing. Sending photos and getting our read on your collection is free and carries no obligation to sell. We're a working buyer, so an appraisal and a real cash offer are the same conversation.
- What's the difference between an appraisal and a formal written valuation?
- Our appraisal is a practical, market-based estimate of what your cards are worth to a buyer today. It works well when you're selling, or when you just want to know what an inherited collection holds. If you need a formal written valuation for insurance or probate, we can point you toward that, and it's a different, paid service.
- Can you appraise graded and vintage cards specifically?
- Yes. Those are where an experienced eye matters most. We price graded slabs against sold comps for that exact grade, and vintage against real recent sales for the condition. See our graded and vintage pages for how we value each.
- Do I have to sell after an appraisal?
- No. There's no obligation. Many people just want to know what a collection is worth, and it's often one they've inherited. If you do want to sell, we can make a cash offer on the spot.
