We Buy Magic and Pokémon Cards

Atomic Gaming & Comics buys Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon cards in a wide range of quantities, from small trade-ins to large collections with thousands of cards.

Bring in your:

  • Bulk commons and uncommons
  • Rares and mythic rares
  • Foils and special treatments
  • Commander staples
  • Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Standard cards
  • Sealed or sorted collections
  • Binders, deck boxes, and long boxes
  • Large collections

If you are not sure whether your cards are worth bringing in, bring them by and we’ll take a look.


How It Works

1. Bring Your Cards to Atomic

Stop by any participating Atomic Gaming & Comics location with the Magic and Pokémon cards you want to sell or trade.

No appointment is required. Walk-ins are welcome.

For smaller trade-ins, our team may be able to review your cards while you’re in the store. Larger collections usually take more time to process.

2. We Review Your Cards

Our team will sort through your cards and evaluate them based on current demand, condition, market value, and what the store is currently looking to buy.

Cards valued above $1 are usually offered at a percentage of current market value.

3. Choose Store Credit or Cash

Once your cards have been reviewed, we’ll make you an offer.

You can choose:

Store Credit

Great if you want the best value and plan to pick up new cards, sealed product, sleeves, deck boxes, accessories, event entries, comics, games, or hobby supplies.

Cash

Great if you want a direct payout for your cards. Cash trades are paid out the following business day.

Store credit offers are typically higher than cash offers.

Selling Valuable Trading Cards

Have rares, mythics, foils, serialized cards, showcase treatments, Commander staples, or other valuable Magic and Pokemon cards?

Cards above $1 are evaluated individually and offered at a percentage of current market value. The exact offer depends on factors like:

  • Current market price
  • Card condition
  • Demand
  • Reprint risk
  • Format popularity
  • Store inventory needs
  • Whether you choose cash or store credit

Some cards move quickly. Some cards are more niche. Our team will review your cards and make the best offer we can based on current demand.

Selling Bulk Trading Cards

Have boxes of commons, uncommons, draft leftovers, or old cards you don’t want to sort?

We buy bulk Magic and Pokémon cards too.

Bulk is perfect for players who have accumulated years of draft leftovers, collection extras, old deckbuilding piles, or unsorted boxes. Bring in your bulk and our team can let you know what we’re currently accepting and what your collection may be worth.

For best results, remove basic lands, energy, tokens, damaged cards, and non-TCG items before bringing in your bulk. This helps us process your cards faster.

Selling Large Collections

Have a large collection?

We can help with that too.

Large collections usually take 3 to 5 days to process, depending on the size of the collection, how sorted it is, and how many valuable cards need to be reviewed.

If you’re bringing in a large collection, you do not need an appointment, but it can help to call ahead so the store knows what to expect.

Tips Before You Bring In Your Stuff

You do not need to perfectly organize everything before bringing it in, but a little preparation can help speed up the process.

For valuable cards, we recommend putting them in sleeves, a binder, or a separate box so they can be reviewed more easily.

For bulk, try to remove:

  • Basic lands
  • Tokens
  • Empty sleeves
  • Non-Magic cards
  • Damaged cards
  • Loose trash or packaging

For models, bring them in using a carrier or container so they don't get damaged during transport.

If your collection is already sorted by rarity, set, or value, leave it sorted. That can help our team process it faster.

Do I need an appointment to sell my cards or models?

No. Walk-ins are welcome.

For very large collections, you may want to call ahead, but an appointment is not required.

How long does it take to get an offer?

Smaller trade-ins may be reviewed the same day, depending on store traffic and staff availability.

Larger collections usually take 3 to 5 days to process.

Do you pay cash or store credit?

Atomic can offer either cash or store credit.

Store credit offers are typically higher than cash offers.

Cash offers are paid out the following business day.

Do you buy bulk Magic or Pokémon cards?

Yes. Atomic buys Magic and Pokémon bulk, including commons, uncommons, and larger unsorted collections.

Acceptance and rates may depend on current store needs and the condition of the cards.

Do you buy entire collections?

Yes. Atomic buys full Magic collections, from smaller personal collections to large collections with thousands of cards.

Large collections usually take 3 to 5 days to process.

Do I have to sort my cards first?

No, but sorting helps.

If you have valuable cards, rares, mythics, foils, or Commander staples, keeping them separate can make the review process faster.

Do you buy damaged cards?

Possibly, but condition affects the offer. Heavily played or damaged cards may receive a lower offer or may not be accepted.

Are all offers final?

Offers are based on the cards reviewed, current market conditions, and store discretion. You are welcome to accept or decline the offer.
