How to Sell Your Trading Cards in Quebec: The TCG Nerdz Buylist Explained

Got cards gathering dust? Whether it's a binder of Pokémon singles, a long box of Magic commons, or sealed product you never opened, the TCG Nerdz buylist turns your collection into cash or store credit — fast, fairly, and from a team that actually plays the games. This guide walks you through exactly how selling your cards works, what we buy, how we price, and how to get the most value.

What is a buylist?

A buylist is simply the list of cards a store is actively buying and the prices it will pay. Instead of waiting weeks for an online auction to end (and paying selling fees), you bring your cards to us and walk away with money or store credit the same day. It's the fastest, lowest-hassle way to sell trading cards in Quebec.

What we buy

We're always buying across every major trading card game, including:

• Singles — from bulk commons to high-end chase cards and vintage.
• Sealed product — booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, booster packs and collector sets.
• Whole collections — binders, long boxes, and estate collections welcome.
• Graded cards — PSA, BGS and CGC slabs.

Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana and more — if you've got it, we're interested.

How the buylist works, step by step

1. Get a quote

Bring your cards to any of our 10 Quebec locations, or request a quote online. For larger collections, send us a list (or photos) and we'll get back to you quickly with an estimate. There's no obligation to sell.

2. We verify and grade

Our team checks authenticity and condition on the spot using the same five-tier grading scale (Near Mint to Damaged) we apply to everything we sell. We grade transparently, explain our offers, and never play lowball games.

3. Choose your payout

Take cash, or choose store credit for an instant +5% bonus. Store credit goes a long way toward singles, sealed product and supplies — and it's the best option if you're planning to reinvest in your next deck or set.

How we price your cards

Buylist prices are based on current market demand, the card's condition, and how quickly the card sells. High-demand singles and sealed product command the strongest offers. Bulk commons and uncommons have value too — we buy them by volume, which is a great way to clear space and turn a dormant collection into something useful.

Tips to get the most for your cards

• Sort before you come in. Separating valuable singles from bulk speeds up the process and helps us give you the best offer.
• Keep cards in good condition. Sleeve your chase cards — condition directly affects value.
• Choose store credit. The +5% bonus is the single easiest way to add value if you're going to buy from us anyway.
• Sell sealed early. Sealed product often peaks in value before reprints — don't sit on it too long.
