Sports Card Collections We Have Bought
Real purchases reviewed with Larry Elswick, including what we can verify, what remains approximate, and what each transaction shows sellers about evaluation, travel, loading, and value.
Real Transactions
We publish only purchases Larry or the business can confirm from first-hand experience.
Transparent Limits
Approximate dates, counts, estimates, missing records, and reconstructed visuals are identified plainly.
Not Price Promises
One purchase amount does not establish the value of another collection with a similar card count.
One Exceptional Collection
How We Bought And Moved A 500,000-Card Collection
Around 2016, we traveled beyond our normal service area to New York, purchased approximately 500,000 sports cards for $10,000, and transported a box-truck load back for unloading. No original transaction photographs are known to survive, so the case study uses an openly labeled diagram and states which details cannot be reconstructed after approximately ten years.

We will add another purchase only when it answers a distinct seller question and we can document the important facts. Seller names and exact addresses remain private unless the seller approves their use. Original photos will carry precise captions, and any reenactment, diagram, or generated visual will be labeled as such.
Have A Collection That Needs A Plan?
Send wide photos, a rough count, and close views of likely highlights. We will tell you whether an in-person purchase makes sense.
