Why choose OTIA Sports?
How can you pay more than any company in the country?
We have a small staff, keep our business expenses as low as possible and we are selective about the collections we purchase.
Our Simple Process:
1) Describe your collection via email, phone call or any of the social media messaging platforms. These questions are most important to answer:
A list of all items in your collection is not necessary, but if you have a list please send it to us.
2) Send us a few pictures of your collection. You can fit many cards into one picture by spreading them out. Focus on the oldest cards in your collection. Pictures can be sent to mike@otia.com or via text message to (248) 520-5776.
Start with these pictures:
3) Submit an asking price.
Many collections can be shipped to us, which eliminates the hassle of scheduling, traveling or transportation. If you have a large collection that is impractical to ship, we will drive or fly to you and handle the transportation. We also regularly conduct buying trips in different regions of the country, where we schedule appointments to view and purchase collections.
Cards from 1985-1995 are usually worth under 1 cent per card. These cards cost more for us to sell than they are worth. We will not buy them if they are the only cards in your collection, but we will still buy them if your collection also contains vintage cards. We typically donate 1985-1995 cards to a local organization if we acquire them as a part of a collection that also has vintage items.
We believe firmly that a collection should not be “cherry-picked”. If you wish to sell your entire collection, we will buy your entire collection. Do not allow someone to only purchase your best cards and leave you with the rest to deal with.
If you know someone that has a collection of sports cards and memorabilia they would like to sell, send us their contact information along with a note that you are hoping to receive a finder's fee for this transaction. If we end up purchasing the collection, you will receive 10% of the purchase price in cash (up to $100,000).
Our offer is good for 30 days. If you receive a better written offer for your collection, we will either beat it or tell you that offer is too good to pass up!
We want you to receive the best price for your unique collection. We are extremely confident that we will provide the highest cash offer you can find, but you have time to shop around if you wish. Our offer stands when you return.
