Buying From Us

Where can I see your inventory?

Most of our active inventory is available on Instagram, and some lives on eBay at eBay.com/usr/slabsandsignatures. Many cards never hit Instagram or eBay because they sell at shows first.

Do you take trades?

Only in-person. Trades are a big part of how we move inventory. We'll consider raw or graded.

I saw a card on Instagram — is it still available?

Possibly. DM @slabsnsignatures with a screenshot and we'll confirm availability and pricing right away. Show stock moves fast, so faster is better.

Selling to Us

How do I get an offer on my cards?

The fastest path is the form on our Sell Your Cards page. Include player, year, grade, and clear photos. You'll usually hear back within 24 hours with a fair cash number.

You can also walk up to our booth at any show with the cards in hand — we'll make an offer on the spot.

What kind of cards do you buy?

Graded slabs, raw vintage and modern, sealed wax, autographs, memorabilia, and full collections. We'll look at almost anything — if it has a hobby market, we'll quote it.

Will you really buy my whole collection?

Yes. We buy estates, downsizes, and storage-unit hauls regularly. For larger collections in the Houston area we make house calls. For everyone else, we'll arrange insured shipping or a meet-up at a show.

How do you decide what to offer?

We pull current sold comps, factor in condition, market trend, liquidity, and the cost of holding the card. We'll show you the comps so you understand exactly how the number was built. No guessing games.

What if I don't accept the offer?

That's totally fine — no pressure, no hard feelings. If you shipped cards in, we'll cover return shipping. We hope you still swing by the booth next time we're in town.

Shows & Events

Where can I find you in person?

We're regulars at Houston-area shows (Space City, H-Town, Katy), Dallas, Tristar, Wood card shows in Central Texas, and we make it to The National every year. The full upcoming schedule lives on our home page.

Do I need to bring anything to sell at a show?

Just the cards and a valid ID for cash transactions over a certain amount. If you've got grades, comps, or asking prices in mind, that helps too — but it's not required.

Can I reserve time with you at a show?

For larger collections or higher-end deals, absolutely — message us a few days ahead and we'll set aside time. Walk-ups are always welcome too; we'll get to you as fast as the line allows.

Shipping & Payment

How do you ship?

Cards under a certain value ship USPS First Class or Ground Advantage with tracking. Anything more valuable ships USPS Priority with insurance and signature confirmation. Big-ticket pieces go FedEx or UPS with full declared value insurance.

How long after I pay before my card ships?

Usually within 1–2 business days. If we're at a show that weekend, packages may go out the next Monday or Tuesday — we'll always let you know.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and wire.

Do you ship internationally?

For higher-value cards and trusted buyers, yes — reach out before you buy and we'll quote shipping. We use eBay's Global Shipping Program for many international eBay sales.

Grading & Authenticity

Do you offer grading services?

We do not, but can recommends partners who do submit to grading companies.

How do I know the cards I'm buying are authentic?

Every graded slab we sell carries an active cert from PSA, BGS, SGC, or CGC — all of which you can verify online. Raw cards we sell come with our personal guarantee of authenticity, backed by our return policy and 42 years of experience between us.

What if I think a card I bought from you is not as described?

Tell us right away. Our number-one priority is that you trust us next time. We'll work it out — whether that means a partial refund, a return, or making it right another way.
