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 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:
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.
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 rare or competitively strong cards with a market value of up to €20, we generally pay around 60% of the 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.
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:
At cardcosmos, we value fair and transparent prices.
All purchase prices are regularly adjusted to reflect the current market situation and demand, so you always receive an honest and market-based valuation.

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.

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:
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.
