What counts as a valuable card?

With Magic: The Gathering, valuable cards can usually be identified by a gold symbol (Rare) or red symbol (Mythic Rare).

With Pokémon, these are generally holo, reverse-holo, or Full-Art cards, EX, GX, V, VSTAR, VMAX, or rare Promo cards.

Cards are considered valuable if they have an estimated individual value of at least €5 or are particularly popular with collectors.

We assess each card individually so that you always receive the best possible and realistic market price - regardless of whether they are from new or older editions.

If you are unsure how many valuable cards you have

If you cannot accurately determine which of your cards are valuable, you can simply send us photos of your Collection.

Our team can quickly assess the size and value of your cards.

Here is the best way to proceed:

1. Photograph your valuable cards:
   
   For Magic: Take photos of Rare cards (gold symbol) and Mythic Rare cards (red symbol).
   
   Up to 32 cards (four rows of eight cards each) can be shown in one picture.
   
   The cards can remain in the Binders or Binder.
   
   If you have foils, please mark them briefly (e.g. with a small Dice or Sticker).
   
   For Pokémon: Photograph all holo, reverse-holo, Full-Art, EX, GX, V, VSTAR, VMAX, and Promo cards,
   
   that appear particularly valuable or rare to you.
   
   
2. Also show us an overview of your Collection:
   
   One or two photos with your standard cards (e.g. commons, uncommons, basic lands, trainer cards) are sufficient.
   
   This helps us better assess the size of your Collection.
   
3. Upload photos:
   
   Simply upload your pictures via the Contact form or our upload page.
   
   Alternatively, you can also submit them by email.
   

As soon as we receive your photos, one of our experienced buyers will assess your Collection and give you a realistic estimate of the current market value of your cards - quickly, transparently, and fairly.

Valuable Cards

For particularly sought-after or rare cards - such as Pokémon EX, GX, V, VMAX, VSTAR, Full-Art or Promo cards as well as Magic: The Gathering Rares and Mythic Rares - we offer daily updated purchase prices.

Depending on the set, Condition, Language and current inventory, we pay up to 70% of the current market price.

For cards with a market value of up to €5, we pay 10 - 50% of the market price depending on demand and Condition.

Bulk Cards

We refer to cards with no significant individual value as Bulk - that is, cards with a market value of under €0.50, often Commons, Uncommons, Basic Lands or common Pokémon cards.

Our purchase prices for Bulk cards are:

• Magic: The Gathering - Rares & Mythics: €0.05 per card

At cardcosmos, you can sell your Pokémon cards easily, securely, and fairly. We are a specialized TCG shop in Germany and buy individual cards, collections, and bulk. Compared with platforms such as eBay or Kleinanzeigen, you save time, fees, and negotiations because you receive a transparent purchase offer directly.

The value of Pokémon cards depends, among other things, on the set, Rarity, Condition, and current market demand. At cardcosmos, we expertly evaluate your cards based on real market prices. You can simply send us your cards or contact us in advance to receive a realistic assessment.

Pokémon cards priced at around €100 or more are often:

• Secret Rares and Alternate Art cards
  
• older WOTC cards (e.g., Base Set, Neo, Team Rocket)
  
• well-preserved cards with PSA, BGS, or CGC grading
  
• popular Pokémon such as Charizard, Pikachu, Mewtwo, or Rayquaza
  

At cardcosmos, we assess such cards individually and in line with the market.

Very valuable Pokémon cards worth over €1,000 are usually:

• First Edition cards
  
• PSA 10 or BGS 10 graded cards
  
• Base Set Charizard, Trophy Cards, or rare Promo cards
  
• extremely rare tournament or event cards
  

cardcosmos also discreetly and professionally purchases high-priced individual cards and premium collections.

You can have your Pokémon cards appraised directly by cardcosmos. We analyze your cards based on current sales data and market prices. The appraisal is realistic and not artificially inflated, giving you a reliable basis for making decisions.

cardcosmos buys both inexpensive cards and valuable Pokémon cards in the higher price range. As an established retailer with a customer base of Collectors and investors, we have a genuine interest in high-quality individual cards, collections, and Graded Cards.

Yes. At cardcosmos, you can sell Pokémon cards as bulk. Bulk cards are usually common or non-holo cards without a high individual value. They are purchased in bulk and valued separately. Ideal if you want to sell large quantities easily.

Both are possible. Online, you benefit from a simple shipping process, while selling in the shop allows you to hand over your cards in person. cardcosmos offers you both options - transparent, secure, and without the stress of selling.

• Specialized TCG retailer
• Fair market-based purchase prices
• We buy individual cards, collections & bulk
• No selling risk, no platform fees

At cardcosmos, you can sell your Magic: The Gathering cards easily, securely, and at fair market prices. As a specialized TCG shop, we buy individual cards, complete collections, and bulk. You save on selling fees, price negotiations, and the risks associated with platforms such as eBay or classified ads.

Valuable Magic cards are often:

• older cards (e.g., Alpha, Beta, Revised, Urza Block)
  
• cards from the Reserved List
  
• powerful staples for Commander, Modern, or Legacy
  
• Mythic Rares, foils, and special promos
  
• well-preserved or graded cards

We assess each card individually and in line with the market.

Rare Magic cards can be identified by, among other things:

• the rarity symbol (Rare, Mythic)
• special Foil versions
• limited print runs or older sets
• high demand in the game or collectors' market

If you're unsure, cardcosmos will provide an expert valuation for you.

The value of a Magic card depends primarily on:

• Condition (Near Mint achieves significantly higher prices)
• Set and Language
• Playability in popular formats
  
• Current market demand

cardcosmos is based on real market prices, not unrealistic desired values.

Yes, German Magic cards can also be valuable. There is particularly steady demand for older sets, Reserved List cards, or heavily played staples. Although English cards often achieve somewhat higher prices, we still buy German Magic cards without any problems.

Magic cards priced at around €100 or more are often:

• Reserved List cards such as Dual Lands
• powerful Commander staples
• older foils or promos
• cards in very good Condition from early sets

We evaluate such cards individually and transparently.

Yes. Magic: The Gathering is one of the most stable trading card markets worldwide. Many cards increase in value over the long term or maintain a high price level for years - especially playable cards and collectibles.

The Price for 1000 Magic cards depends heavily on the contents. Pure bulk without valuable cards is usually in the low double-digit range. However, if the cards include rares, foils, or older sets, the value can be significantly higher. cardcosmos also evaluates large quantities fairly and transparently.

Yes. At cardcosmos, you can sell Magic cards as bulk. Bulk usually includes common and inexpensive cards with no high individual value. Ideal if you want to make space and easily hand over large quantities.

• Specialized Magic and TCG retailer
• Fair market-based purchase prices
• Purchase of singles, collections & bulk
• No selling fees or price negotiations
• Fast, transparent processing

Yes, older Magic: The Gathering cards can be very valuable. Cards from early sets such as Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Revised, or the Urza block in particular often command high prices. Cards from the so-called Reserved List are also consistently in demand because they are no longer reprinted. The exact value depends heavily on Condition, set, Language, and demand.

You can check the value of Magic cards on online marketplaces, price databases, or directly with specialized dealers. At cardcosmos, you can have your Magic cards professionally checked and appraised. We base our assessments on real market prices and current sales, not unrealistic asking prices.

Good Magic cards are primarily identified by:

• high power level in formats such as Commander, Modern, or Legacy
• being part of the Reserved List
• popularity among players and collectors
• an early edition or special version (Foil, Promo)

If you are unsure, cardcosmos will provide an expert evaluation for you.

The value of Black Lotus depends heavily on the edition and Condition. A Black Lotus from Alpha or Beta can be worth several tens of thousands of euros, depending on its condition and Grading. Even heavily played copies from Unlimited still command very high prices. cardcosmos also discreetly and professionally purchases high-value single cards such as Black Lotus.

An old Magic card is often rare if it:

• comes from an early edition
• is on the Reserved List
• has a low print run
• was released as a Promo or special version
  

The absence of modern card symbols can also indicate that it is very old.

The value of a Magic card mainly depends on:

• Condition (Near Mint is particularly valuable)
• Set and Language
• Playability in popular formats
• Current market demand

cardcosmos always evaluates cards based on actual sales data.

There are apps and scanners that provide price overviews. However, these often show only rough estimates or asking prices. For a realistic valuation, an assessment by a specialized dealer such as cardcosmos is recommended, as Condition and demand are properly taken into account.

Especially valuable are:

• Reserved List cards
• powerful staples
• older editions
• foils, promos, and collector cards
• well-preserved singles

Collections can also have a high overall value.

We buy cards from the trading card games Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Star Wars: Unlimited, Flesh and Blood and Topps.

We are also happy to evaluate other TCG collections, especially when they contain high-value or rare cards.

Whether you are selling individual cards, complete decks, or entire collections - at cardcosmos, you always receive a fair valuation and transparent processing.

Yes, we generally buy all Pokémon and Magic cards - regardless of edition or rarity.

If the preliminary valuation shows that the value of your cards is lower than the applicable Shipping costs, we will of course inform you in advance.

This way, you can ensure that selling is worthwhile for you and that you always receive a fair and transparent assessment.

Yes, we buy Pokémon and Magic cards in all languages.

Please note, however, that our buying prices for German and English cards are generally slightly higher, as they have the highest demand on the market.

Cards in other languages are of course also assessed and purchased at fair prices.

No, at cardcosmos we don’t just buy valuable cards, but a wide range of Pokémon and Magic cards - from older classics to the latest sets.

Whether they’re rare rares, powerful playable cards, foils, or bulk - you can really sell us all your cards.

We accept both individual cards and complete collections and appraise everything fairly, regardless of whether they’re from older Pokémon editions or current Magic sets.

No, of course not. The process at cardcosmos is completely straightforward and transparent:

• After your cards arrive at our facility, you will receive a final Offer with the exact purchase price.
  
• You can then decide for yourself whether or not you want to accept the Offer.
  
• If you agree, we will keep the cards and transfer the agreed amount to you within two business days.
  
• If you would prefer to keep your cards, we will of course send them back to you at our expense.
  

Important: Please always let us know briefly before sending us your Pokémon or Magic cards.

This allows us to determine the best and most cost-effective approach for you together.

The Condition of your cards plays an important role when selling them to us, as it affects the Price.

As is customary in the TCG sector, we distinguish between the following categories:

Near Mint (NM), Lightly Played (LP), Moderately Played (MP), Heavily Played (HP) and Damaged.

If you are unsure about individual Pokémon or Magic cards, feel free to send us photos for an assessment.

In the Contact form, you can indicate which cards you need help evaluating the Condition of - ideally including clear pictures of the front and back.

This allows us to quickly and accurately tell you what purchase Price we can offer for your cards.

No, as a rule, we cannot pay the full Cardmarket price trend.

We are also a commercial seller on Cardmarket and must take our ongoing costs (e.g. fees, shipping, storage) into account when purchasing Pokémon and Magic cards.

In return, selling to cardcosmos offers you several advantages:

• You can sell your entire Collection at once - with no hassle.
  
• You will receive your money quickly and securely after your cards have been checked.
  
• No need to package, ship, or negotiate prices for individual cards.
  
• No customer complaints or returns as with marketplaces.
  

This saves you time, effort, and fees - while still giving you a fair, transparent purchase price for your cards.

No specific template is necessary. However, if you would like to send us a list, it should contain the following information:

• Card name
• Edition (e.g. set name for Pokémon or Magic
• Language of the card
• Foil / Non-Foil (or Holo / Non-Holo for Pokémon)
• Number of cards
• Condition (e.g. NM, LP, MP, HP, DMG)
  

If you do not have a list, you can also simply send us photos of your cards or Collection - this is often the faster and easier solution.

You can also send us exports from popular Collection tools such as Delver Lens, Moxfield or PokéCollector.

We will then evaluate them for you.

Yes, of course - we buy Pokémon and Magic cards from all over Europe.

Many of our sellers come from Austria, Switzerland, the Benelux countries, France, Italy, or Scandinavia.

For larger or particularly valuable collections, we also offer insured pickup by courier service.

For collections worth more than €500, we cover the shipping or pickup costs in full for you.

No matter where you live - selling your cards to cardcosmos is easy, secure, and possible throughout Europe.

Shipping depends on the quantity and value of your cards.

Before sending us your Pokémon or Magic cards, please fill out our Contact form. One of our employees will then discuss the exact process and the safest shipping method with you.

For larger or particularly valuable collections, we cover Shipping costs or arrange an insured pickup - so your cards arrive safely.

Shipping depends on the quantity and value of your cards:

• Small quantities (e.g. a few individual cards):
  
  We recommend shipping them as a tracked letter so that your cards arrive safely.
  
• Larger quantities or entire collections:
  
  It is best to ship your cards as an insured parcel. This way, they are fully protected in case anything happens during transport.
  
• For card values of €500 or more, we will cover the Shipping costs or, if requested, arrange an insured pickup directly from your home.
  

Please make sure that your Pokémon or Magic cards are well protected, packaged flat, and secured against moisture.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept liability until the shipment has arrived at our premises undamaged.

If you are unsure which shipping option is best, we will be happy to help - simply contact us via the Contact form.

Then we recommend sending your cards securely in a padded envelope or small parcel.

• Protect your cards with Sleeves, Toploader, cardboard, or Deck boxes so they do not get bent or damaged.
  
• If possible, use bubble wrap or packing paper to fill empty space in the envelope or parcel.
  
• Make sure the cards cannot move during transport.
  
• Sturdy packaging is especially important for Pokémon or Magic rares, promos, or foils to preserve their Condition.

To ensure your Collection arrives safely, please follow these tips:

• Remove the cards from binders or sleeves - we prefer loose cards for faster evaluation.
  
• Valuable cards (with an individual value of around €10 or more) can remain in sleeves or Deck boxes.
  
• Pack the cards preferably in Fatpacks, Bundle boxes, cardboard boxes, or Booster boxes.
  
• Make sure all cards face the same direction to protect the corners and edges.
  
• Fill empty space in the package with bubble wrap or paper so nothing shifts.
  
• Also ship the cards in a sturdy shipping box - this is the safest method.

• Do not use rubber bands - they can permanently damage cards.
  
• Never pack more than two cards per Toploader.
  
• Insert cards carefully - excessive pressure can damage corners or surfaces.

Yes, please remove all cards from binders and sleeves before sending them in.

Collections that arrive already sorted and without sleeves can be reviewed and appraised faster by our team.

Valuable cards with an individual value of over €10 (e.g., rare Pokémon or Magic cards) may remain in protective sleeves or toploaders to prevent damage.

Yes, we strongly recommend sending your Pokémon or Magic cards with an insured and trackable shipping provider.

This ensures that your shipment can be tracked at all times and is covered in the event of damage.

Before shipping, please check the amount for which your package is insured.

Unfortunately, we cannot assume liability for shipments until they have arrived safely and undamaged at our location.

For larger or valuable collections, we can, upon request, cover the Shipping costs or arrange an insured pickup directly from you.
