What's the best place to sell trading cards as a casual collector who doesn't want to be screwed over but also if just not interested in the resale game politics?
Apparently according to a friend I have some decent cards from when I was a kid and I'm trying to buff up my saving, but I just am not a serious collector* and know nothing about who has a good reputation among sellers and idt my buyer experience would translate over.
I know of these places in Raleigh or nearby:
Game Theory
Hidden Block
Magpie and Crow
And I have the business cards of a few people who come in for cons and know of the collector's expo that happens at the state fair ground, but was hoping for some first hand experience or just general tips.
*My current collections are a Pokedex collection, two artists I like, and an alt form Pokedex. Literally any card will do for the first and last collection as long as it is of the pokemon and the two artists aren't super popular/only recently because popular I just like their styles. But I would take a messed up card for them as long as the art was still decent.
