What I Buy

Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh — binder collections to warehouse bulk. Send photos and I'll let you know what I can offer.

Highest value

Vintage Collections

Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, Rocket — all early sets. Raw and graded. Even beat-up commons have value in quantity.

Modern Sealed Product

Booster boxes, ETBs, tins, blister packs — factory sealed only. Modern and recent sets welcome.

Singles

Holos, rares, ultra rares, full arts, rainbow rares, alts. Condition matters — photos help.

Core offer

Bulk (Commons & Uncommons)

Priced per card count. No need to sort. Even large lots of commons are worth sending — bulk is one of my core purchases.

Graded / Slabs

PSA, CGC, BGS — any population. Happy to make offers on individual slabs or full slab collections.

Not Sure?

Send me photos of whatever you've got. I'll let you know if it's something I can work with — no awkward back-and-forth.

Bulk Rates

What I pay per 1,000 cards — no sorting required. These are starting rates; vintage bulk and large lots (10,000+ cards) often get a bump.

Who You're Dealing With

Hi, I'm Nick.

I've been in this business since 2005, and I've spent those years learning what cards are worth and why. This isn't a side gig for me — it's something I genuinely care about.

I started HobbyistPro because I wanted sellers to have a buyer they could actually trust: someone transparent about pricing, fast to respond, and easy to deal with. When you send me your collection, you're not dealing with a warehouse — you're dealing with me, directly.

I'm based in Vancouver, British Columbia and buy from sellers across Canada.

Common Questions

The things sellers usually want to know before reaching out.

All FAQs →
How do you decide what to offer?

I look at the current market (recent eBay sales, TCGPlayer) for each card. For bulk, I price by card count. My offer reflects what I can realistically resell or trade for, minus a fair margin.

How do I get paid?

Via Interac e-Transfer, usually the same day I receive and verify your cards.

Do you buy bulk?

Yes — bulk is one of my core purchases. I don't require you to sort commons from uncommons. Price is a flat rate per 1,000 cards — see the bulk rates above. Large lots welcome.

Do you do local pickup or only shipping?

Both. If you're near Vancouver, we can meet in a public spot. For shipping, I provide a prepaid label so you're not out of pocket.
