Buylist Guide

Sell Your Cards to Poke-Collect

To ensure the safe arrival and accurate processing of your Pokémon cards, please follow this buylist guideline:

Card Preparation

  • Sleeve Cards Individually: For all of the cards submitted in your buylist, please place each card in a penny sleeve or a similar protective sleeve.

  • Don’t Use: Please avoid using perfect fit sleeves due to their snug fit, which can damage cards upon removal. Similarly, refrain from using Elite Trainer Box or Deck sleeves, as they also pose a risk of damaging cards during the buylist process.

Packaging Materials

  • Team Bags/Plastic Bags: Group sleeved cards together in team bags or small plastic bags to keep them organized and prevent shifting during transit.

  • Bubble Mailer or Small Box: For smaller submissions (under 50 cards), a padded bubble mailer is acceptable. For larger submissions, use a sturdy cardboard box.

  • Packing Material: Use bubble wrap, packing peanuts, crumpled newspaper, or other cushioning materials to fill any empty space in the package and prevent cards from moving around.

  • Utilize Cardboard and Toploaders: Although cards should not be submitted in toploaders, we understand their value. When you're shipping, we still suggest using toploaders or cardboard! The best tip from us is to sandwich your cards between two pieces of cardboard or toploaders inside a team bag for extra safety.

Important Notes

  • Tracking and Insurance: We highly recommend sending your cards with tracking and insurance, especially for higher-value submissions. This protects you in case of loss or damage during shipping.

  • Fake Cards: All fake cards found in buylists will not be returned to the owner to prevent fake cards from circulating back into the market.



Donation Policy

  • Should the total value of cards returned due to condition be less than $50, your Pokémon cards will be donated to our local Sunday "Learn to Play" events, where they'll find new homes with younger trainers! For returns exceeding $50, we will contact you to discuss your preferred option: either have the cards returned to you or donate them to the Sunday “Learn to Play” events!
