This collector was a HUGE New York Yankees fan! After several discussions over the phone, pictures sent back & forth, we decided to meet in person. I hopped on an airplane the next day and showed up in Massachusetts. It is always exciting when you get to see a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle or 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth or 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig, but to see them all together is the best!

We met the next morning and I went right to work carefully reviewing the condition of each card and then explaining my offer on each card. After a couple of hours he asked if I liked Italian food. I said, heck yeah, and off we went to a little hole in the wall Italian joint that just knocked my socks off. I reached for the bill when we were finished and he said, don’t even think about it! We smiled and I knew the baseball cards would be going back to Denver, Colorado with me!

Why you should sell to Kurtz Kardz

Finding the retail customer takes an extensive amount of work and most people with collections don’t have the time or knowledge to accomplish the task. Also, the sports card shops in your area are generally not well equipped to appraise or purchase vintage collections of any magnitude. These retail stores are focused on selling modern products and simply don’t have the time or the knowledge to carefully evaluate vintage collections. So, how should you proceed? Kurtz Kardz will buy the entire collection and pay cash for it immediately.

We start with the more valuable cards from your collection. We grade them while showing/explaining the reasons for the grade.  We then establish a price for the card with a full explanation of how that is done. Once we receive your ‘Buy In’ of our explanation and the assessed value, we will continue with the remaining cards and come up with an offer for the entire collection.

We have been in the card collecting hobby full time since 1996. We have purchased nearly every card in existence except for the ‘True Rarities’, no T206 Wagner yet!!

We treat every collection and collector with the respect they deserve. Being a longtime collector myself, I understand how much work it takes to build a collection. So when you’re ready to sell, I understand what you are going through and will help you reach the best decision.

Our process is very straight forward and my guarantee is that you will feel comfortable within the first 10 minutes. Sounds a little overly confident? Well, I have purchased hundreds of collections over the last 26 years, with many pleased clients.
