Buy and Sell Bulk Pokémon Cards Easily in Tucson
Here's How It Works
Our process is a little different...
We want to buy as much as we can, but...
There are limits to our budget and time for processing...
Here's the recipe for success:
1. Read everything below.
2. Scroll down to the buy list links section.
3. Click the link for the game you have bulk cards in.
4. Check to see if we are currently buying or on pause for that game.
5. Sort your bulk into the categories we've listed, count them and make a list.
6. Send us an email with the list showing quantities of each item and include any special requests/info.
7. Pictures attached to the email help...
8. Wait for a return email with our offer. (2-5 Business Days)
9. Negotiate a meet up time and place- bring your properly sorted cards and leave with cash.
Bulk Rules-
***Processing Times Vary - Expect 10-15 business days***
- You want the best prices for your bulk: We agree. We want to be able to offer the best prices. That said, the bulk card industry has razor thin margins so our buy list prices for BULK items (cards, pins, sleeves, play mats, etc.) will generally be non-negotiable.
- Competitive Pricing: We constantly monitor the market to ensure that you receive the top value for your Pokémon card collections. Whether you're looking to sell a small batch or a large haul, we strive to offer the best rates in Tucson. If you're local in Tucson, you'll save the expenses related to shipping to the other online bulk buyers- saving you more. Remember we're offering cash- not store credit when comparing our prices to some shops.
- Capacity Limits: Due to high demand and our commitment to quality service, we have limits on the volume of cards we can purchase at any one time. Once we've reached our monthly limit, we will offer a position on our wait-list (on a first come, first serve basis). To avoid missing out, please contact us as soon as you decide to sell. Our buy list price pages (links below) will indicate if we are currently buying that particular game.
- Card Condition: We buy only mint/near-mint (M/NM) bulk cards. If we find large numbers of worse conditioned cards we will destroy/discard them and reduce the payout for those cards. (There is currently no charge for the processing of damaged cards but may need to- you'd be surprised how often folks try to slip in significant quantities of garbage into their bulk submissions)
- Card Sorting/Packing: We prefer the submissions be pre-sorted into the various categories we quote rates on for that particular game (for instance: C/UC, Non-Holo Rare, V, VMAX/VSTAR, etc. for pokemon). Do NOT include penny sleeves- all cards should be raw, sorted, and if you can- wrapped into stacks of 100 cards. Not following these simple items will cause delays in processing.
- English TCG Only: We may, in the future, step into bulk foreign language TCG cards but for now we only accept those in the English language only. Non-English cards found in submissions will be discarded/destroyed.
- Basic Energy: We currently buy very limited quantities of loose basic energy cards. If you have factory sealed packs of energy (like from ETBs or Energy Bricks), let us know and we'll give you a quote.
- No-Shows: We're swamped. In fact, this operation makes us less than the equivalent of minimum wage for our time and effort. If we set up a meet time to buy or evaluate a collection and someone no-shows- we don't get mad, we just delete, block, and ban them...
The Real Story:
The TCG world is full of hawkish folks who are trying to scalp maximum profit from this hobby. Everyone wants to pay low and sell at a premium...
This sentiment shows up significantly in the bulk cards side of this industry, and we totally understand it. That's why we are running the Buy Sell Bulk Pokemon Tucson operation- to provide local Tucsonan's with a local place to extract at least a little value from their bulk cards.
We take on all of the responsibility of re-sorting, sifting, storing, repackaging, remarketing, and selling of the bulk cards we buy from you- so that you don't have to do it on your own. This is a very time consuming and labor intensive process and sorting machines cost in the 10's of thousands of dollars and/or 1,000 or more monthly to lease.
A vast majority of our clients have been great. Some, however, seem to be swept away with valuations that are just not reasonable for a bulk card buying operation like this.
The Raw Truth:
A vast majority of the cards are 'bulk'. Actually, *most* of the V, VMAX, VSTAR, Amazing/Radiant Rare, ex/GX/EX, and many of the Full Art cards are in fact, merely bulk pokemon cards. Of course, some are worth more than others and our buy list prices reflect that.
It is your responsibility to evaluate your bulk cards to make sure you've pulled out the 'Non-Bulk' type cards before you send them to us. We're not trying to buy twenty dollar cards for 50c- those are supposed to be culled from the stack before you offer them to us...

What If You're Not In Tucson?
Yes, we cater to the Tucson market, but it is a smaller market and sometimes we have extra capacity and can process a few out of town bulk card purchases- but you'd be paying the shipping. In these situations, most clients choose to use the standard flat rate USPS Priority boxes (usually a medium sized box) but if it is a smaller amount of bulk cards, maybe something else would be cheaper.
If you are not in Tucson but you like our rates, process an order and make sure you indicate that you are out of town and must ship in the bulk pokemon cards and we'll go from there.
***Please understand- we will not pay/ship trade items until bulk is received and verified***
