---

Graded Sports Cards (PSA / BGS / SGC slabs & high-end parallels)

One of the pillars of the modern collectible boom. High-grade rookie cards, low-number parallels, and limited inserts are commanding premium prices thanks to scarcity and condition sensitivity. Collectors around the world are chasing slabbed cards, making them ideal items to ship via consolidation services.

Sealed Hobby Boxes & Wax Packs

Whether it’s basketball, baseball, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, or other trading card games, unopened boxes still carry high potential upside. Sealed wax is naturally appealing — manufacturers can no longer replace them — and many collectors value full sets or unopened packs for their “time capsule” quality.

Autographed Memorabilia & Signed Pieces

Jerseys, photos, balls, helmets, or more obscure items signed by athletes, celebrities, or cultural icons all continue to attract strong demand. The key is authenticity and provenance. When shipping internationally, careful packing and insurance are essential for preserving value.

Vintage Clothing & Designer Archive Pieces

Vintage fashion is having a major resurgence. Y2K, 1990s streetwear, archival designer pieces (Prada, Dior, Versace), band tees, and limited runs from past decades are especially sought after. Many buyers now see vintage clothing as both style and “wearable history.”The challenge: verifying condition, authenticity (labels, stitching, tags), and ensuring garments survive the shipping process without damage.

Designer & Limited-Edition Streetwear / Sneakers

Drops from brands like Supreme, Virgil Abloh’s legacy lines, Nike SB, Off-White, and sneaker collaborations continue to attract speculative interest. Limited runs and hype cycles create scarcity. Many collectors treat these as hybrid fashion / investment pieces.

Designer Toys, Art Toys & Blind Box Figures Think Bearbricks, Pop Mart Labubu, collectible figurines, and art toy collaborations. Their appeal lies in niche communities, artist collaborations, and surprise / “chase” variants. In 2025, collectible toys are often going viral (e.g. Labubu) and attracting adult buyers.

Retro Gaming & Classic Consoles / Games Original systems (NES, SNES, Sega, PlayStation 1/2), sealed editions, rare cartridges, and special editions are increasingly collectible—especially when boxed, complete, and in excellent condition. Their nostalgia factor, combined with declining supply, supports continued price growth.

Vintage & Key Comics / Graded Comics First appearances, landmark story arcs, variant covers, and high-grade CGC slabs are all in demand. Comics offer a crossover appeal between art, pop culture, and nostalgia. High-grade modern key issues are seeing more interest, not just “silver-age only” pieces.

Rare Coins, Precious Metal Coins & NumismaticsCoins have always been classic collectibles, and that demand continues—especially for rare U.S. mint issues, proof sets, key dates, and precious-metal coinage. As many collectors see coins as both art and a hedge, this category remains stable.

Modern and Vintages Timekeeping (Watches) Everything from the mid--range Citizen to the high end Rolex is becoming more and more popular among modern collectors. There has been a solid shift in people moving from Sports Trading Cards to to Watches.
