Basketball Card Selling Questions (Answered)

I have a bunch of cards from the 1990s. Are they worth anything or just junk wax?

Basketball cards from the 90s are tricky. The base cards were massively overproduced, but the inserts? That's a different story. Refractors, die-cuts, chromium parallels - some of these are worth thousands today. Jordan inserts, Kobe rookies, rare Shaq cards. Text us photos at 972-573-4990 and we'll tell you what you have.

What's more valuable: graded cards or raw cards?

Depends on the card. High-end modern cards ($500+) usually do better graded. Vintage cards almost always benefit from grading. Common modern cards? Usually not worth the grading cost. We can tell you which of your cards would gain value from grading and which wouldn't.

How do I know if my Luka Doncic cards are real rookies?

Look for "RC" logo on the card and check the year (2018-19 season). True rookies are from his first NBA season. Some products release later with "rookie cards" that aren't true rookies. Also watch for parallels - prizm silvers, optics, numbered versions. These can be worth much more than the base. Text us photos and we'll identify what you have.

Should I sell my basketball cards now or hold them longer?

Market timing matters. If a player just won MVP or a championship, prices peak. If they're injured or underperforming, values drop. We track these trends daily. We'll give you honest advice: sell now for good profit or hold for potential future growth based on the specific player and card.

What's the difference between a base card and a parallel?

Base cards are the regular versions. Parallels are special versions - different colors, refractors, numbered editions. A Luka Doncic base prizm might be $50, but a silver prizm could be $500, and a numbered gold prizm could be $2,000+. Look for serial numbers on the back (like 25/99). These are the money cards.

Do you buy complete sets or just individual cards?

Both. Complete vintage sets (1986 Fleer, 1996 Topps Chrome) have good value. Modern complete sets usually worth less than the sum of their star cards. We'll either buy the complete set or make an offer for the valuable singles and give you advice on the rest.

How important is card condition for modern basketball cards?

Extremely important. Modern collectors want "gem mint" condition - perfect corners, sharp edges, centered images. A tiny surface scratch or soft corner can cut value by 50% or more. We examine cards under special lighting to spot these issues that aren't visible in normal room light.

What if I only have a few cards, not a big collection?

That's fine! Some of our biggest purchases have been single cards. A high-grade Michael Jordan rookie, a LeBron auto, a rare Kobe parallel. Even if you have just one card you're curious about, text it to 972-573-4990. We'll tell you what it is and what it's worth.

Do you buy international basketball cards?

Yes - especially Euroleague cards of players before they came to the NBA. Luka Doncic Real Madrid cards, Giannis Greek league cards. These can be quite valuable. Also vintage international sets from the 90s. If it's basketball, we're interested.

How do I protect my cards before bringing them in?

Use penny sleeves and top loaders (not tape!). Don't put cards loose in a box where they can rub together. Keep them flat, not bent. Avoid humidity - Dallas attics and garages can damage cards over time. If you're not sure, text us photos first and we'll advise on the best way to transport them.
