Selling Pokemon Cards in NYC

Poke Pleb Collectibles buys Pokemon bulk from sellers across the United States, and NYC sellers can ask about local pickup or dropoff. Start the same way everyone does: sort and count your cards, use the Pokemon bulk calculator to see your estimated payout, and email your quote.

Where Pickup and Dropoff Are Available in NYC

Pickup and dropoff are available in NYC, with some exceptions by borough:

NYC pickup and dropoff by borough
BoroughPickup / dropoff
BrooklynAvailable
QueensAvailable
ManhattanLarge lots only (50,000+ cards)
The BronxLarge lots only (50,000+ cards)
Staten IslandLarge lots only (50,000+ cards)

If your borough is not covered for your quantity, you can still sell by shipping. Shipping is covered for bulk quantities of 5,000 cards or more, and our how to ship Pokemon bulk guide shows how to pack it.

How Selling Locally Works

  1. Sort and count your cards into the calculator’s categories. See how to sell Pokemon bulk if you need help.
  2. Calculate your payout in the Pokemon bulk calculator and export your CSV.
  3. Email your quote to pokeplebcollectibles@gmail.com. Mention that you are in NYC, which borough, and roughly how many cards you have.
  4. We confirm the details. We will let you know whether pickup or dropoff works for your location and quantity, and arrange it by email, including how payment will be handled.

Tips for NYC Sellers

  • Have your cards sorted, counted, and boxed before you email. The hand-off goes faster when everything is ready.
  • Keep categories separated with dividers, and keep your count sheet or CSV with the boxes.
  • Remember the guidelines: Near Mint (WOTC-era cards may be Lightly Played to Near Mint), English, and unsleeved for WOTC, commons, uncommons, rares, holos, and reverse holos.
  • In Manhattan, the Bronx, or Staten Island with fewer than 50,000 cards? Shipping is likely the simplest route.
