Sell Football Cards Near Me

Should you sell football cards?

We understand that football cards you have are probably from a collection since you were a child - it still may be hard to sell it, because of the emotional attachment. But what you may not know - your card collection may be worth more than you think! That’s why you would need our expert evaluation before you sell football cards for cash. 

So if you need some quick extra cash, some free space, or you simply found another hobby, whatever the reason - you better sell football cards to people who can actually understand their value. What is the best time period to sell football cards from? Well, technically - the older and rarer the card - the better. So if you have some very old cards they may be very expensive. But there are also new cards that are just very rare and as valuable.

How to Sell Football Cards in Libertyville?

There’s a wide range of places to sell football cards:

  • Any publicly available marketplace. 
  • Local buyers.
  • You can even find buyers on specialized forums. 
  • What is the common disadvantage of all these options? They may not know the true value of your cards and get taken by selling a card for much less than it’s worth. Getting a professional evaluation is important because of this very reason.

    In case you decide to visit a local location like the Comic Buying Center, you get the advantage of professional evaluation from people that value their reputation. Libertyville is not a huge metropolis, but a place with a friendly community. That’s why we’re very careful with our reputation, and we do our best to help out our potential sellers.

      I’ve been coming to CBC for my years in Chicago. It really is the city’s best kept severer, Peter, Mike, Chris, Dorian are just amazing people and help you out with anything you need. It always is nice to have a free snack and drink too while you are hunting. This is a go to for comic book collectors, and should be a stop for anyone who’s visiting Chicago!

Highly recommended if you have a video game or comic (or Magic the Gathering!!) need! Check them out and give them a call! A++ experience!

      Has a pleasant comic and MTG card selling experience. Mike and Dorian sat with us in a room dedicated to the process, and went through all our items. They used live pricing estimates, sharing their on line sources with us, and explained their offers. They were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable.

      Friendly, inviting, helpful, and fair. I am very happy that I found Comic Buying Center. They have efficiently reviewed and fairly assessed my collections and handled everything with respect and care. They quickly gained my trust and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to appraise and/or sell their own collections.

      The epitome of geeked out Comic Capitalism. For those of us who grew up with these incredible pieces of art AND storytelling, this is the quintessential distribution center for collectors and just plain nostalgic folk. There are incredible displays for the wandering eye and bins and bins of cost effective illustrated options. Every imaginable comic and illustrated novel….available here. Collectibles galore. Sometimes it feels like a capitalistic museum from the Marvel and DC universe. Enjoy this little gem on the outskirts of Libertyville, right off of RT176 coupla blocks east of RT21.

      Nice place good people…but only 50% for your best…brought in 490.he took 20.payed half what worth.. Should at least do 65% and the rest wanted to pay 150…only go if your desperate..can sell higher end comics yourself. Or pass them down.kind of felt stupid letting comics go I had 50 years go like that.and only the best ones.

      I wanted to give a big shout out to the Comic Buying Center in Libertyville. I recently decided to part with a 251 issue comic book collection that I inherited 7 years ago when my father passed. I first did my own research with the Overstreet Guide. I subsequently brought my collection in for a free evaluation. I interacted with Mike and Pete and they were extremely knowledgable and professional. I felt that they offered me a fairly valuation for my collection which contained some rare and marketable issues. I chose to seek out a second opinion from a local comic book seller which was a nightmare. I was advised that I had nothing of value and offered $100 for my entire collection. This was either a dishonest attempt to obtain my collection for essentially nothing or the owner doesn’t really know his business. I returned to the Comic Buying Center and was paid $5,000 for my collection. Pete is a very honest and professional individual and I would recommend him and his business without hesitation. As my story above illustrates, there are many others in this business who are not so forthright. Choose carefully!

      Peter is awesome. I highly recommend his shop. I had a large comic collection that I had been hanging on to since the mid-90s, and I finally decided to sell it. As he appraised my collection, Peter took the time to explain to me what some of the key comics were worth and why. I found him to be very knowledgeable and very honest ( something you won’t always find from people in his line of work).
      Had some comics to sell for a relative. Explained the whole process up front. Great, easy, smooth, experience. Thank you.

      Wonderful experience at Comic Buying Center today! I contacted Mike and we set an appointment to possibly sell my comics. Mike was so knowledgeable and friendly. He showed me around the store, offered me something to drink and walked me thru the buying process. HONEST. Very refreshing to experience. He offered me a great and fair price and we were done. It was so relaxed we ended up talking a little about our lives outside of comics. Great time today. Thanks Mike!

      I was recently tasked with selling the large comics collection (around 7000 comics), of a relative’s estate. It was almost all DC silver age comics. Peter came to my home in Wisconsin and carefully walked through the process with me and made a very fair offer that day. His knowledge, experience and thoughtfulness made this a very pleasant experience. I’m so glad I called them first!

      Very impressed with this center, and their expertise in comics. Mike and the team were very welcoming, from my initial phone call to my store visit. Gave me a very fair price on my small collection, and showed me cool items that I hope to return to take a look at.Thank you!

      Randomly stopped by because we saw the “Comics 4 Less Store OPEN” sign on the street. A little weird to get into the building because there’s no other signage, but the comics inside were awesome! $2 for issues, $5 for trades. Great quality and selection. Really nice guys too! Definitely will come back.
