A PSA 10 Wayne Gretzky rookie card sold for over ONE MILLION dollars!  See the valuable rookie card and how even non-mint rookie cards of "The Great One" are desirable. 

When a high profile card in the hobby sells for a record price, the telephones ring much more often, the emails increase dramatically, and hundreds and hundreds of people think that they're paying off their college debt, putting a new car in the driveway, or even paying off their mortgage because they have one of "those" cards, too. 

Over One Million Dollars!

Recently, as reported by our good friend Rich Mueller at Sports Collectors Daily, a 1979 O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky rookie card that was graded PSA 10 and the Topps counterpart also graded PSA 10, sold at auction for more than $2,000,000.00! The OPC (issued to the Canadian market) example sold for $1,290,000.00 and the Topps card sold for $720,000.00.

Paying for Retirement?!?!

Are all of the Gretzky cards worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? The honest and truthful answer is, "No." But they are valuable and even in terrible condition, they're worth several hundred dollars and in average condition, they're worth thousands and in NM/MT or better condition, they can be worth tens of thousands!  As an example, this Gretzky card is in POOR condition (a 1 on a scale of 1-10) with several creases and worn corners, but it still worth more than $500 and we were fortunate enough to have been able to buy it.

Just Collect is BUYING!

So, if you have any Gretzky rookie cards, Just Collect is buying Wayne Gretzky – in all conditions – and we're paying top dollar!  In fact, we're buying many other hockey cards and most other vintage sports cards!  Contact or email us today!

Our Buying Philosophy

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the past decade. Although we are known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage basketball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, also!

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 soul into building their collection. So when you're ready to sell, Just Collect understands the feelings that you're going through and we 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.

Won't They Be Worth More if I Grade Them Myself

We discuss all of the selling options with everyone that we meet with. In most cases, selling the collection on their own will put the most money on the bottom line, but it will also take an large commitment of time and energy and one that most are not ready or able to undertake. Another misconception is that grading the collection will return more money. When I hear people say, "You're just going to grade them and get ten times the money," I almost cringe. Grading a collection can be a money losing proposition, especially if you don't know what you're doing. And most times, we grade very few, if any cards, from average collections that we buy.

We value a collection based upon the condition and the value. If a card is worth $100 in a PSA 7 NM, we're going to value it at $100 whether it is ungraded or graded. You can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars grading your cards, but we're still valuing them the same and paying the same regardless of how much you've invested in grading them.
