in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
We are going to need some vintage low/mid grade we can purchase in bulk at a price where it makes sense/profit. We are opening a store in mid August and wanted to come here first to see if we could find a deal or two to help stock a showcase of vintage.

We are looking for star power in lower grade. Maybe cards that present well but have flaws like paper loss/pin hole/stains or PSA 3-5 caliber stars.

    What sports are you looking for? Baseball, football, basketball? Approximately what years (pre-1970?)

    I'm guessing you have little need for bulk stars (mostly) from say 94-97?

    Yes, we will be open. Grand opening is August 18th. Wilderness is near Gatlinburg. We are three hours away door to door according to google maps.

    Looking for vintage cards 1952-1969 in a large lot. I need cards that are VG/EX to EXMT that have great eye appeal. I need to secure a large lot where it makes sense to buy the cards to turn a profit while stocking the new card shop.
