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](https://blog.justcollect.com/the-1986-fleer-basketball-tupperware-collection).  - Come to the convention We keep a [LIST ](https://www.justcollect.com/travel-schedule/)of the 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. We recently took a trip to California to purchase a collection that included three Jackie Robinson 1948 Leaf rookie cards that you can read about [here](https://blog.justcollect.com/three-mint-jackie-robinson-cards-found-in-california-love-collection). - Meet in New York City We have another location in New York you can meet us at; read all the information [here](https://blog.justcollect.com/sell-your-card-collection-in-person-to-just-collect-in-new-york-city). - [SHIP](https://www.justcollect.com/how-to-package-your-sports-cards-for-shipping/) your collection  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 with 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](https://www.justcollect.com/emotional-difficulty-of-sending-your-collectibles-through-the-mail/) 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. CONTACT US ANY TIME Whether you have vintage cards or modern wax you want to sell, you can reach out to us any time!  - [JustCollect.com](https://www.justcollect.com/contact-us/) - (732) 828-2261 - [info@justcollect.com](mailto:john@justcollect.com) - [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/JustCollect) - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/justcollect) - Post right here on the blog! - [National Sports Collectors Convention](https://blog.justcollect.com/tag/national-sports-collectors-convention) ### Search ### Recent Posts [![1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain Rookie and Mickey Mantle Cards Purchased](https://blog.justcollect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Photo%20Jun%2009%202026%2c%2011%2041%2008%20AM.jpg?width=767&name=Photo%20Jun%2009%202026,%2011%2041%2008%20AM.jpg) ](https://blog.justcollect.com/1961-fleer-wilt-chamberlain-rookie-and-mickey-mantle-cards-purchased) [1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain Rookie and Mickey Mantle Cards Purchased](https://blog.justcollect.com/1961-fleer-wilt-chamberlain-rookie-and-mickey-mantle-cards-purchased) [![Stay Steps From the National Card Show: Hilton Rosemont/Chicago O'Hare](https://blog.justcollect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/National-2.jpg?width=767&name=National-2.jpg) ](https://blog.justcollect.com/stay-steps-from-the-national-card-show-hilton-rosemont/chicago-ohare) [Stay Steps From the National Card Show: Hilton Rosemont/Chicago O'Hare](https://blog.justcollect.com/stay-steps-from-the-national-card-show-hilton-rosemont/chicago-ohare) [![Beyond the Cards: Things to Do in Chicago During the National Card Show](https://blog.justcollect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dinner.jpg?width=767&name=Dinner.jpg) ](https://blog.justcollect.com/beyond-the-cards-things-to-do-in-chicago-during-the-national-card-show) [Beyond the Cards: Things to Do in Chicago During the National Card Show](https://blog.justcollect.com/beyond-the-cards-things-to-do-in-chicago-during-the-national-card-show)
