Marketplaces

If you open lots of packs or boxes, you will no doubt end up with many cards in your collection that you don’t want, but others might. Trading or selling those cards can be a fun way to to add more to your personal collection. It has a very stock market feel, as values can fluctuate week to week and even day to day if an athlete has a great performance.

There is no shortage of places, online and in person to buy, sell and trade your collectable cards. Finding a place you feel comfortable and can trust is the key to an enjoyable buying or selling experience. All of the ones listed below have their pros and cons. Online marketplaces obviously have a much larger reach, but you’re more likely to run into unscrupulous people there than in person. Always be sure to look into how ‘reputation’ is earned on any platform, and deal accordingly.
