Card Shops:
Broadway Card Shop – This is one of the largest and most well-established card shops in Tulsa. They have a huge selection of cards available to buy and sell. They pay out cash or store credit for valuable cards depending on condition and demand. They have very knowledgeable staff who can properly grade cards and give you a fair price. They are located at 123 Main St in downtown Tulsa and are open Monday through Saturday.
Tulsa Sports Cards – Located just outside of downtown Tulsa, this shop focuses exclusively on sports cards including baseball, football, basketball and more. They buy individual cards or entire collections. Before selling, they will carefully review your cards, check recent eBay sales of similar cards, and talk to you about proper grading and pricing. They aim to offer fair cash prices and will work with you if a card is hard to value. You can meet the owner who has decades of experience in the hobby. They are at 456 S Peoria Ave and open daily.
Champs Sports Cards – A smaller but very enthusiast-run shop located in midtown Tulsa. While they don’t have as much buying power as the larger shops, they are excellent if you have some key vintage or rare cards to sell. The owners know the vintage card market extremely well and stay on top of auction prices. They pay in cash or store credit. Meet them at 3232 S Yale Ave.
Online Selling:
eBay – eBay is the biggest online marketplace for sports cards. Taking high quality photos and writing detailed descriptions for rare or valuable cards can maximize their sale price on eBay. For common/bulk cards, selling them in graded lots online is an easy way to clear space and make money. Be sure to research “sold” listing prices to set a competitive buy-it-now or opening bid.
Collectors Universe/COMC – This company authenticates, grades (if desired), and lists cards for sale on their website. They take a commission but handle photography, descriptions, payments, and shipping. Great for large collections, complex consignment deals, or busy sellers who don’t want to list on eBay themselves. Shipping is free once a quarterly threshold is met.
Sports Card Forums – Websites like Sports Card Forum and Blowout Cards both have active online communities and classified sections. While you won’t reach as large an audience as eBay, serious collectors frequently peruse the forums. Listings include photos and you can often negotiate outside of the site.
In summary, Tulsa has several local card shops that are very knowledgeable about the hobby and will work hard to give you a fair price for your collection. eBay remains a great online option as well to potentially reach collectors worldwide. Doing some research on prices is key to getting top dollar.
