FAQ
Questions sellers ask.
What cards does Cardwel buy?
Graded sports cards: PSA, BGS and CGC slabs in football, basketball and baseball. We buy single cards and full lots. Our sweet spot is cards worth roughly $25 to $250 each, and we look at higher-end cards too.
How do you decide what to offer?
We start from recent sold prices for the exact card, grade and grading company, not asking prices. Then we factor in how quickly that card sells and its condition and eye appeal. Ask and we will show you the sales behind our number.
Do I have to accept your offer?
No. Getting an offer is free and there is no obligation. If the number does not work for you, say no thanks and keep your cards.
How long is an offer good for?
24 hours from when we send it, unless the offer says otherwise. Card prices move fast, so after that we re-check the market and can send a fresh number.
Do you buy group lots?
Yes. We price every card in the lot individually, then give you one total. Cert numbers for each slab make this much faster.
Do you buy raw (ungraded) cards?
Not right now. Cardwel buys graded slabs only.
How do I get paid, and how does shipping work?
We agree on the payment method and the shipping details with you before anything moves. Payment goes out once the cards arrive and match the description. For local deals or card shows we can meet in person.
How do I reach Cardwel?
Email jason.cardwel@gmail.com or send a DM to @cardwelsportscards on Instagram. The fastest route to an offer is the form on our Get an offer page.
Why do you ask for cert numbers?
A cert number lets us confirm the slab is real, pull the exact card and grade, and price it from the right sales. It is the single fastest way to a firm offer.
