How Do I Sell Trading Cards & Comic Books To A Pawn Shop?
Can I Sell in Bulk
If you are planning on bringing a cardboard box filled with hundreds of comic books, understand that we will buy in bulk for only less than a dollar per comic book. If you have something unique or rare, it should be separated out, in great condition, and it should be graded and/or have some form of proof of authenticity. Our team does not provide grading for trading cards. And we will not go through a box of hundreds of cards or comics and value each one individually. So if you are looking for to sell something because you believe it has value for its rarity, please have it separated out.
Get Your Items Graded
The best way to sell rare or unique trading cards is to have them graded first. There are many companies that provide grading services. It should be noted that most companies charge you anywhere from $10 to $100 per card depending on you work with. So, you want to make sure you are only grading cards that are going to have significantly higher value than the cost of grading the cards in the first place. There are online guides that can help you understand the factors that come into play when it comes to card value for different types of trading cards.
Rare Items
If you have a genuinely rare collectible that is in great condition, and are interested in selling it or using it for a pawn loan, feel free to give either of our locations a call first. We can potentially answer questions about whether or not we would be interested in the item. It is important that rare items are either graded or have some type of authenticity that we can trust on top of being in great condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pawning Collectibles
A pawn shop provides a loan based on the value of the product you provide to them. This loan amount is usually affect by three factors: the appraisal, the condition, and the ease of selling. A pawn shop will have your item appraised to know exactly what your collectible or other item is worth. From there they will look at the specific condition of the item or items you plan to pawn. Finally, they may also consider how easy it will be to sell your item in the future when determining what your item is worth to them.
In its most simplified form, a pawn loan works when a customer takes a loan and uses some of their own property as collateral. When the loan is paid back the item(s) are returned to the customer. If the loan is not paid back the Pawn shop eventually has the right to sell the goods. In America, it has been estimated that about 80% of these types of loans are paid back and the item is returned. These loans are also highly regulated by the government.
Often times, you can get more money for selling an item versus taking a loan. However, when you take a pawn loan you are able to recover the item or items you put up for the loan. So if your goal is simply to get a loan, it may be better to pawn an item. However, if you no longer want the item, selling might be a better solution. The best thing to do is decide right away if you want to regain the item and if you know that you will be able to secure the funds in time to regain your item.
