- Full 5,000-count boxes may not contain exactly 5,000 cards, because thicker modern cards often reduce the actual count in a tight box.
- Commons must be regular-sized cards, not in sleeves or top-loaders. No puzzle pieces, team stickers, or sweepstakes cards.
- Cards must not be damaged or stuck together, and should be sorted by sport, in standard card boxes (5,000 or 3,200 count).
- Trade can be applied toward tickets, unsorted boxes, or odd lots/boxes and other designated items.
- All other deals, collections, and offerings are handled on a deal-by-deal basis.
Pricing and categories change with market demand, condition, quantity, sorting, and inventory needs. This buy list is a starting point and doesn't guarantee an offer on every collection. Contact us at (574) 903-0382 or larry@ibuy.cards.
