What is it worth?

Ask the desk what your card is worth

Send clear photos and the details you have, and a person on the crew will look the card over and reply by email with an estimate range, the recent comp basis behind it, and a straight call on whether grading it or selling it raw makes more sense.

How it works

Step 1

Send photos and details

Use the form below. Photos of the front and the back help most, along with the card name, the game, and the condition as you see it.

Step 2

A person reviews it

The crew checks recent sales for the same card in the same kind of condition. No automated price spit out by a script, and no answer before a person has looked.

Step 3

The answer comes by email

You get an estimate range, the recent comp basis the crew used, and a straight call on grading versus selling raw. If you tick the box, a Sell to the Vale quote rides along in the same reply.

The weekly batch

The crew reviews valuation requests in a weekly batch, first come first served. We do not promise a reply day. If the batch is full, your request waits for the next one.

Send a card to the desk

The crew replies to this email. It is never shown on any public page.

Front of the card

No photo yet. Use your camera, or choose a picture you already took.

Back of the card

No photo yet. Use your camera, or choose a picture you already took.

Clear, straight-on photos in good light help most. Up to 4 photos ride with a request, 10 MB each, JPG, PNG, or WebP.

The standing sell door is the Consignment Desk at Sell to the Vale, where a free Vale account is needed. The checkbox above simply asks for a quote inside the crew reply to this request.

What an estimate is, and what it is not

An estimate from photos is an opinion offered for guidance. It is not an appraisal, it is not a guarantee of value, and it is not an offer to buy your card. Card values move, sometimes quickly, and an in-hand inspection can change the figure. If you ask for a Sell to the Vale quote, that quote becomes an offer only through the consignment process.
