Emmit Smith Rookie Card Vintage Breaks-1-1-1

Just Collect will be at the National buying and selling collections. Come stop by if you're at the show; we'd love to meet you! Here are a few photos and stories from the 2022 show where our owner, Leighton, got to hold an SGC 9.5 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card that later sold for a record 12.6 million dollars! We WILL be buying 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie cards at the National. We hope to have a guest stop by our booth, too. Emmitt Smith sat down with us previously, as did Rollie Fingers. We. Can't. Wait.

Travel to Us

If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here.

Come to convention

We keep a LIST of card shows we'll be attending. Come stop by the Just Collect table and chat.

Meet in-person

If you have a valuable collection and want us to come to you, we'll hop on the next plane out.

Meet in New York City

We have another location in New York you can meet us at; read all the information here.

If you choose to mail your cards for an appraisal, we will evaluate your cards for FREE still. If you choose not to sell the cards, we'll ship them back shipping fees paid by us! We can offer our FedEx account with 2-day shipping, fully insured, all covered by us. Simply contact the office to set up this option.

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!

Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
