What is considered a valuable card?
In Magic: The Gathering, valuable cards are usually recognizable by a golden symbol (Rare) or red symbol (Mythic Rare) .
In the case of Pokémon , these are usually holo, reverse holo or full art cards , EX , GX , V , VSTAR , VMAX or rare promo cards .
Cards are considered valuable if they have an estimated individual value of at least €5 or are particularly popular with collectors.
We check each card individually to ensure you always get the best possible and realistic market price – regardless of whether it's a new or older edition.
If you are unsure which of your cards are valuable, you can simply send us photos of your collection.
This allows our team to quickly assess how comprehensive and valuable your cards are.
Here's the best way to proceed:
Once we receive your photos, one of our experienced buyers will examine your collection and give you a realistic assessment of the current market value of your cards – quickly, transparently and fairly.
For particularly sought-after or rare cards – such as Pokémon EX, GX, V, VMAX, VSTAR, Full Art or Promo cards as well as Magic: The Gathering Rares and Mythic Rares – we offer daily updated purchase prices .
Depending on the edition, condition, language and current stock, we pay up to 70% of the usual market price .
For rare or high-value cards with a market value of up to €20, we usually pay about 60% of the market price .
Depending on demand and condition, we will reimburse cards with a market value of up to €5 at 10-50% of the market price .
