Have cards you are looking to sell? Bags of Swank is always buying — singles, slabs, sealed product and whole collections, TCG and sports alike. Whether it is one standout rookie, a stack of PSA 10s, a cupboard of Elite Trainer Boxes or an attic full of binders, we would love to hear about it.
What we buy
Graded cards
Slabs from PSA, BGS (Beckett), SGC and CGC — sports and TCG, all grades considered.
Sealed product
Factory-sealed sports card hobby, blaster and mega boxes, cases and factory sets; TCG booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, tins and collection boxes. Factory seals must be fully intact.
Collections
From a shoebox to a lifetime’s accumulation — vintage and modern, sports and TCG, carefully sorted or gloriously unsorted. Estate and inherited collections are handled with extra care.
Singles over £20
Individual cards with a market value over £20: rookies, autographs, relics, numbered parallels, chase cards, alternate arts, secret rares and vintage stars. Lower-value cards are welcome as part of a larger collection or bundle.
How selling to us works
Step 1: Tell us what you have
Email sales@bagsofswank.co.uk with the details: names and players, years and sets, conditions, grading details where slabbed, quantities, clear photos (front and back for singles), and your asking price if you have one. The more detail you give us, the faster our answer.
Step 2: We review
We check current demand, condition and our stock needs — usually within two working days. Not every submission receives an offer, and we will always tell you plainly either way.
Step 3: You receive an offer
Offers are based on recent UK and international sales data, condition, rarity, grading and our inventory needs. Offers stay open for a stated period, and can change if the items differ from what was described.
Step 4: Ship or drop in — then get paid
Accept the offer and send the cards by a tracked, insured service, or hand them over at the shop in Ballymoney. Once they arrive and match the description, we pay promptly by bank transfer. Items that do not match the description may be repriced with your agreement, or returned at our cost.
What we decline
- counterfeit, altered, trimmed or recoloured cards;
- reprints or proxies not clearly identified as such;
- anything with questionable authenticity or provenance;
- water-damaged or heavily worn bulk;
- sealed product with broken or suspect seals;
- low-value bulk commons, basics and energy cards on their own;
- collections that fall outside our current buying needs.
Authenticity requirements
Everything offered to us must be authentic and yours to sell. We may request extra photos, proof of ownership or in-hand inspection, and we decline anything we cannot verify. Suspected counterfeit, altered or stolen property will not be purchased and may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
Please note
Sending us details about your cards does not guarantee an offer, a valuation or a purchase. All buying decisions sit with Bags of Swank at our discretion.
Why sell to us
- collector-run buyers who know TCG and sports equally well;
- fair, market-based offers explained in plain English;
- prompt bank-transfer payment once your cards are accepted;
- whole collections genuinely welcome — no cherry-picking the best and leaving the rest;
- a real Northern Ireland shop you can walk into, phone or email.
