Inherited a card collection? We'll sort it, value it and pay cash.
You don't need to know which cards matter. Text photos of the graded slabs, the older cardboard, and anything that looks important. We'll sort the rest, send a comp-based offer within 24 hours, and come to you.

Estates and inherited collections
We do the sorting. You get a number you can check.
Most inherited collections show up the same way: binders in a closet, a stack of shoeboxes, maybe a few hard plastic slabs in a drawer, and nobody in the family who collected. You are not expected to catalog it. A first text with photos of the obvious highlights — slabs, older cards, named players, sealed boxes — is enough for us to tell you whether a visit makes sense.
We buy the whole lot when the highlights support it, including the commons. The offer is built from recent sold comps, not from a price guide and not from a guess about what a grieving family will accept. If the number isn't right, you keep the cards. There is no fee to have us look.
What to photograph first
Start with anything in a PSA, BGS, SGC, or CGC slab, then cards that look older than the 1980s, then autographs and cards with a serial number printed on them. A wide shot of the boxes is useful after that, so we can see the size of the rest. Dust, rubber bands, and out-of-order stacks are normal — leave the original order alone if the cards are already in binders.
Childhood Pokémon binders turn up in the same estates as the baseball. We buy those too. Text the holos and any sealed packs along with the sports cards; you don't need a separate appointment.
When more than one person inherited it
If siblings or cousins are splitting an estate, decide before anyone pulls cards out whether the plan is to divide specific cards, sell everything and split the cash, or have one person buy the others out. We can walk the collection once and explain the comps so everyone is looking at the same number. We don't rush that conversation, and we don't need every heir in the room to make the offer.
Questions about taxes, step-up in basis, or what to document for an estate attorney are outside what we do. The practical version of that — what to set aside, and when a written note of value is worth having — is in our family guide. Talk to the estate's attorney or a CPA before you rely on it.

When it is mostly old baseball
A lot of estates are baseball, with football mixed in and no one in the family who collected. You still do not need a catalog. Photos of the older cards and the slabs are enough to learn whether the boxes are a sale, a few keepers, or mostly commons.
If you want the sorting steps first, read what to do with old baseball cards.

How it works
Three steps to cash.
Text the highlights
Text photos of the best cards to (615) 656-0692 — graded slabs, older cards, and named stars first. A wide shot of the rest is enough; you don't have to sort it.
We sort and price
We identify what carries the value and build one offer from recent sold comps. You'll have it within 24 hours, and we'll show the comps if you want them.
Cash at your place
If the number works, we come to you in Nashville or within about 30 miles. Cash when you accept. No fees, no store credit, no obligation if you pass.
FAQ
Questions from people settling a collection.
I don't know anything about cards. Can you still help?
Yes. That's the usual starting point. You don't need set names, years, or a spreadsheet. Photos of the slabs, the older-looking cards, and a shot of the boxes are enough for a first read.
Do you come to the house?
Yes, anywhere in Nashville and about a 30-mile radius — Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet, Smyrna, Gallatin, Spring Hill, and the towns in between. A public spot works too if you'd rather not meet at home.
Will you take the commons, or only the good cards?
When the highlights are worth a trip, we take the collection as it sits, commons included. We won't cherry-pick five cards and leave you with the garage. If there isn't enough value to justify a visit, we'll say so before anyone drives.
How do I know the offer is fair?
It's built from recent sold prices for the specific cards, plus population data on graded cards. Ask to see the comps. You can compare them yourself, get another opinion, or say no. Nothing is final until you accept.
What if the collection might be mostly 1980s and 1990s cards?
Tell us that up front. Most cards from that overprinted era are worth very little, and we'd rather say so than invent a number. A few rookies, errors, and high-grade examples can still matter — we'll separate those from the bulk.
How quickly do we get paid?
Cash when you accept, at the meetup. Most inherited collections we buy are wrapped up within 24 to 48 hours of the first photos.
