Monmouth Cards

"I am not a card collector in any sense of the word. My father had shown me a large Topps baseball card collection he had amassed in the mid 70s. Prior to going to Monmouth Cards I had done some research and was aware that there were quite a few cards that could be significantly valuable. I walked in with 2 binders containing roughly 1000 cards. Prior to looking at them, as the individual was walking over, I provided a brief description of what I had and was asked how much money I was looking for to sell them as a set. His questions totally changed upon seeing the cards. I made it clear that I was not a collector but I knew there were cards that are potentially significantly valuable. The shop and individual I dealt with deserve a lot of respect, the idea of them buying the lot was no more and the discussion switched to the best way to get the highest value for the cards. He never made an offer that to an individual that had done zero research would have seemed like they hit the lottery. All of this is basically to say that (in my experience) they are trust worthy. For example he didn’t flip through and offer me $5,000 for the lot, in fact he did the did the opposite and complimented their condition and stated that he never expected to see old cards in such a good condition. We discussed how they had been stored that kept them in good shape and the next steps to take to sell them for the highest value. Again I need to state that although I knew there were valuable cards I never needed to state that and he never attempted to buy them all for the price that just one could sell for. The shop itself was clean, well lit, and new. This is the complete opposite of other “collectibles” shops that I have been in. They never tried to take the cards to some “back room” (which seems to be common but, to me, unsettling), everything took place right in front of my eyes."

"Giuseppe and James were great first time going there! Place was very organized, and they were very helpful with any questions that we had. Will definitely be back more!"

"Best card place I’ve been in since I was a young kid! Tons of memorabilia! Tons of single cards, highly recommended stopping in!"

"Due to living far, it took awhile but we just had to come back! Just like the first time excellent customer service, super friendly and knowledgeable!"

"Excellent service! Nice and clean too! Staff makes you feel right at home! If you have any questions on Pokémon, Troy is the man for the job! You can tell he is very knowledgeable and has a passion for it as well."
