Path B · Box & Ship

📦 Skip photos — just ship it

Box everything unsorted with our printable order form, ship it (USPS Flat Rate works great), and get a cash offer within 48 hours of arrival. No-obligation — decline and your cards come back.

🆓 Free shipping unlocks when any of these is true:

Never shipped cards before?

Pack it right in four steps.

Five minutes of packing protects your payout. Grab a printable order form + checklist here.

STEP 01

🥪 Cardboard sandwich

Stack cards tightly, place stiff cardboard above and below each stack, and rubber-band or tape the bundle so nothing bends.

STEP 02

✨ Protect the shinies

Any holo, full-art, or card that glitters goes in a toploader or penny sleeve if you have them. Those are the ones worth guarding.

STEP 03

🧱 Fill every gap

Bubble wrap, paper, or air pillows until nothing shifts. Shake test: if you hear movement, add more filler.

STEP 04

📦 USPS Flat Rate box

Medium Flat Rate fits most collections; Large for 3,000+ cards. One price ships anywhere in the US — tape every seam, drop the order form on top, done.

Why sellers pick us

The easiest way to sell your Pokémon cards.

Every part of this process was designed around one question: what would make selling your Pokémon cards actually feel good?

Offer-Lock

Your written offer is locked for 14 days

The number in your offer email is the number you get paid — even if the market dips while your box is in the mail.

No-Risk Returns

Decline and your cards come back

Every offer is no-obligation. If the number isn't right, say so — we ship your cards back. Your collection is never a hostage.

48-Hour Payout

Money moves fast here

Once your cards are counted and verified, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle hits within 48 hours. Store credit option pays a 10% bonus.

Free Shipping Kit

Accepted offers ship on us

Count Transparency

You see what we see

If our count differs from yours by more than 2%, we send you a photo breakdown before adjusting anything. You approve first, always.

No Sort Penalty

Rough sorting is fine

Group by the categories below as best you can. We don't dock payouts for honest sorting mistakes — we just recategorize and pay the correct rate.

How pricing works

Shiny cards get real prices. Every offer is custom.

No menu to decode, no averages, no lumping. Photograph or count what you have and get one written offer covering all of it — locked for 14 days.

✨ Holos, V, VMAX, EX & every other hit — priced card-by-card

Send photos (screenshots work too). Every notable card in your collection gets identified and individually priced, line by line, in your written offer — usually within one business day. Shipping everything in unsorted instead? We identify the hits on arrival and your final quote lists each one.

🧺 Commons, energies & everyday cards — counted by category

Tally rough counts in the counter above (or skip it and ship unsorted) and the everyday cards are included in the same written offer, counted and priced by category. One offer, one number, everything covered.

⚠️ Near Mint English Pokémon cards only. Cards with creases, water damage, or heavy wear should stay home — they'll be set aside and returned on request (return shipping deducted).

The TCGVana Guarantee

If your verified payout ever comes in below your locked quote without your photo-approved sign-off, we pay the original quote anyway and ship your cards back free. That's the whole policy. Saying no is always free.

FAQ

Questions card sellers actually ask.

Is this legit? How do I know this isn’t a scam?
Fair question. You never pay us anything, we never ask for passwords, bank logins or card numbers, and you get our offer in writing before a single card leaves your house. If the offer isn’t right, say no and keep your cards. TCGVana is operated by Viral Ventures LLC, a U.S. business.
What kind of Pokémon cards can I sell you?
Pretty much everything in a normal collection: commons, uncommons, rares, holos, reverse holos, energies, promos, and modern hits like V, VMAX, VSTAR, EX, and GX. Card shops call this “bulk” — to you, it’s just the Pokémon cards sitting in a box. We buy all of it: hits priced card-by-card, everyday cards counted by category, one written offer.
How do you price holos and rare cards?
Card-by-card, never at bulk rates. Send photos and every notable card is identified and priced individually in your written offer. If you ship unsorted instead, we identify the hits when the box arrives and your final offer lists each one, with everyday cards counted by category alongside.
How fast do I really get paid?
Within 48 hours of your cards being counted and verified. Most boxes are verified within 1–2 business days of arrival, so the typical door-to-payout window is under a week.
What if you count fewer cards than I did?
If our count differs from yours by more than 2%, we pause and send you a photo breakdown before adjusting your payout. Nothing changes without your approval.
Do I have to sort perfectly?
No. Rough sorting by category is enough. Honest mistakes just get recategorized at the correct rate — we never dock your payout as a penalty.
What condition do cards need to be in?
Near Mint English only. Leave out anything creased, bent, water-damaged, or heavily played. Damaged cards found in a shipment are set aside and can be returned on request.
Is my offer guaranteed?
Yes — your written offer is locked for 14 days from the day we send it. Market dips during transit don't touch your number.
What photos should I send for an offer?
Clear, well-lit shots: binder pages open, boxes fanned out so we can see card faces, and close-ups of anything you think is valuable. More photos = a faster, firmer offer.
Can I just ship everything unsorted?
Yes — that’s Path B. Box it all up with the printable order form, ship it (USPS Flat Rate recommended), and we count everything, identify the hits, and send a cash offer within 48 hours. Sending 1,000+ cards with the holos included? Your shipping is free. Every offer is no-obligation — decline and your cards come back to you.
How should I pack my cards?
Four steps: tight stacks with a cardboard sandwich around them, toploaders or sleeves on anything shiny, filler in every gap (shake test: silence), and a USPS Flat Rate box with the order form on top. Full checklist is on the printable order form.
