Trading Cards Safe Buy and Trade

What's my card worth?

Real eBay sold prices — never asking prices — for 55 verified basketball and football cards. Look one up, run the flip math before you buy, and trade with other collectors on the board below.

Read this first: Prices below come from eBay sold listings checked November 8, 2026. Ranges span the sales we could actually read (2024 through Nov 8, 2026), so a wide range usually means the price moved a lot. Card prices move fast — recheck sold listings before you buy or sell.

Card Lookup

Type a player name, or tap a group. “Midpoint” is just the middle of the sold range — use it as a quick value, not an exact price. Where a PSA 10 range couldn't be verified from actual sales, we say so instead of guessing.

Flip Check

Found a card for sale? Check it before you pay. We compare your price to the middle of the sold range, subtract eBay's real fees, and show the most you should pay to leave room to profit.

Fee math uses eBay's Trading Cards rate checked Oct 2026: 13.25% of the sale total plus $0.40 per order (sales over $10). Net from a sale = sale price × 0.8675 − $0.40, before your shipping cost. A Store subscription can lower the percentage.

Should I Grade This?

Grading only pays if the PSA 10 price beats the raw price by enough to cover the grading fee, shipping, and selling fees — and your card actually comes back a 10. Run your card through the real math.

Not in the list? Type any card's raw and PSA 10 sold values straight into the two boxes above — use the 60-second guide to get them.

Grading fees verified Nov 2026: PSA's Value tier reopened Oct 29, 2026 at $39.99. PSA changes its prices — check before you submit. Higher-value cards must go in higher tiers. Shipping and handling (about $10 handling plus $15+ return shipping) are extra; adjust the box if yours differ.

Sending cards in? You'll want penny sleeves, semi-rigid holders, and a padded mailer — grading submission supplies on eBay ↗ (affiliate link placeholder — connects after the eBay Partner Network signup). Submission steps and current tier details are on PSA's own site — always confirm the live price there before you ship a card.

Price Any Card in 60 Seconds

Your card isn't in our list? Here's the exact way to price any card yourself — it takes about a minute.

Open eBay

Use the eBay app or ebay.com. You'll check what cards actually sold for — not what sellers are asking.

Search the exact card

Year, brand, player, card number, and parallel. Example: 2023 Prizm Wembanyama 136 Silver. Add “PSA 10” if yours is graded.

Turn on “Sold Items”

Filter → Sold Items (and Completed listings). If you don't do this step, you're looking at asking prices, which mean nothing.

Read the last 10–20 sales

Ignore damaged cards, penny auctions, and lots of multiple cards. The middle of the recent sales is your card's real value.

Why is a PSA 10 worth so much more?

There's no single rule — it depends on the card. From the sales in this list: Silver Prizm rookie quarterbacks run about 5–11× raw (Caleb Williams Silver: raw ~$140–$290, PSA 10 $1,588–$2,405). Base cards of established stars run about 2.5–5×. When a raw card is only worth $1–$8, the multiple can explode to 10–100× because grading costs $20–30+ and a perfect 10 is scarce. Bottom line: never guess a PSA 10 price from the raw price — check the actual PSA 10 sales, like we did here.

Where to Sell

Three honest options. The right one depends on whether you want the most money or money today.

eBay

Keep ~86%

Best money for most cards. Fees are 13.25% + $0.40, so a $100 sale nets about $86.35 before shipping. The trade-off is time: listing, waiting for a buyer, and shipping usually takes 7–30 days start to finish.

Local card shop

40–60% — cash today

Fastest money there is: walk in, walk out with cash the same day. But shops typically pay 40–60% of a card's value because they have to resell it. Fine for cheap cards. Never sell a graded star to a shop without checking its value here first.

COMC

Mail it in, they sell it

You ship your cards to COMC and they photograph, list, and ship them for a cut of each sale. Good for stacks of lower-value cards you don't want to list one by one. Slower than a shop, less work than eBay.

Safe Buy and Trade

Buy, sell, and swap cards with other collectors right here. Post your card, deal directly with the other trader, and every trader's rating and history is public — that's how this board stays honest.

One flat fee per deal

$1.99

On a sale: the buyer pays the $1.99 fee, added at checkout.
On a swap: the fee is split — $1.00 from each side. No percentage of your card's price, ever.

Verified profiles

Every trader verifies a phone number and email before they can post or deal. No anonymous accounts.

Public ratings & history

Every completed deal can be rated, and the full history sits on the trader's profile for anyone to read before dealing.

Photos required

Every listing must show clear photos of the front, the back, and the corners, plus an honest note on condition. No photos, no listing.

Report & removal

Every listing and profile has a report button. Traders who don't ship, misdescribe cards, or stack up bad ratings get removed from the board.

Straight talk about how payment works: you pay the seller directly through checkout — we take only the $1.99 fee and step out of the way. We don't hold your money and we can't undo a trade. Every trader has a public rating and history — check it before you deal, and traders with bad ratings get removed.

Post your card

Front, back, and corner photos, the condition in your own words, and your price — or what you're looking for in a swap.

Check the other trader

Read their rating and trade history first. New account with no history? Start with a small deal.

Pay or swap

Sales: buyer pays the seller directly at checkout, plus the $1.99 fee. Swaps: each side pays $1.00 and ships with tracking.

Rate the deal

When your card arrives, rate the trader. Your rating is what protects the next person.

Post a card

Tap each one once you've added that photo. Listings without all three don't post.

Featured listings pin to the top of the board for 7 days. The $2 is charged when payments go live — until then, featuring is a free preview.

On the board now

No listings yet. The board just opened — post the first card and set the tone: real photos, honest condition, fair price.

Pro — $5/month

Two tools for collectors who buy and sell often: price alerts on cards you're watching, and a tracker that adds up what your whole collection is worth from the same verified sold prices.

Join Pro

$5/month, cancel anytime. Includes both tools on this page — try them right now, free, before you join.

Billing starts once the site's Stripe account is connected — that's the one setup step left, and no card details are collected on this page until then. The tools below already work as a preview.

Price alerts

Alerts check against the sold prices on this page (checked Nov 8, 2026). When prices are refreshed, Pro members get an email the first time a watched card crosses their level.

Collection tracker

Add the cards you own and see the whole collection valued at the midpoint of each card's verified sold range.

Your list lives on this device for this visit only in this preview. With Pro, your collection and alerts are saved to your account.
