We evaluate every collection carefully and pay you cash the same day based on what your cards are genuinely worth in today's market. From the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach, Silver Lake to Santa Monica, there's a Los Angeles area PayMore ready to take a look at what you've got.
Hey Los Angeles!
Get cash today for your Pokémon cards.
We buy all types of Pokémon cards in any condition:
Not sure if what you have is worth anything? Bring it in anyway. Our team has seen everything and can help you figure out what's valuable and what isn't.
Real stores, real people, zero sketchy parking lots.
Los Angeles' safe, convenient, and eco-friendly choice for selling, trading and buying used electronics.
Gather your Pokémon cards however they're organized — binder, box, sleeves, or loose — and bring them to your nearest Los Angeles location along with a valid government-issued photo ID. Cards stored in protective sleeves or hard cases tend to be in better condition, which can mean better offers, but don't let that stop you from bringing in whatever you have.
Our Pokémon card specialists go through your collection card by card, identifying rarity, checking condition, and looking up current market prices for what similar cards are actually selling for. We stay plugged into the Pokémon market and know what collectors in Los Angeles are actively hunting for. After the evaluation, we give you a clear cash offer — no vague ranges, no pressure.
Accept our offer and get paid immediately. No waiting on payment to process, no shipping your cards off and hoping for the best, no meeting strangers in parking lots. You walk in with cards and walk out with cash.

We Know the Pokémon Market: Our team actively collects and follows the Pokémon card market. We know the difference between a shadowless Charizard and a regular Base Set copy. We know which modern chase cards are heating up and which vintage sets are climbing in value. That knowledge means you get an accurate offer, not a guess.
Los Angeles Has a Serious Collector Scene: The Pokémon community in LA is massive. That means strong local demand for quality cards, which works in your favor when we're pricing your collection. We're not pricing based on national averages — we know what's moving here.
Every Collection Size Is Welcome: Got three cards or three thousand? We evaluate everything. There's no minimum collection size required to sell, and bulk lots are just as welcome as individual high-value singles.
Damaged Cards Still Have Value: A bent corner or surface scratches don't automatically mean a card is worthless — especially if it's a rare or sought-after card. Bring in your damaged cards and let us take a look before you write them off.
Safer and Simpler Than Selling Online: Selling Pokémon cards privately means researching prices yourself, taking photos, writing listings, dealing with lowball offers, packing and shipping, and waiting on payment. Selling at PayMore means none of that. One trip, same-day cash.
Which Pokémon cards are worth the most? First Edition Base Set cards tend to bring the highest prices — especially Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur in good condition. Shadowless cards, graded copies, Japanese promotional cards, and tournament prize cards can also carry significant value. That said, the Pokémon market shifts constantly, so it's always worth getting a professional evaluation rather than assuming something is or isn't valuable.
Do you buy damaged Pokémon cards? Yes. Condition matters and affects pricing, but damage alone doesn't make a card worthless. A heavily played first edition rare is still worth more than a mint copy of a common card. Bring everything in and let us assess it properly.
What if I have no idea what my cards are worth? That's completely fine — it's actually one of the most common situations we deal with. Bring your collection in and our specialists will go through it with you, identify the notable cards, and explain what we're basing our offer on.
Do you buy graded cards? Yes. We purchase cards graded by PSA, BGS, CGC, and other major grading companies. Graded cards often carry a premium depending on the card and the grade.
Do you buy Japanese Pokémon cards? Absolutely. Japanese cards have their own collector market and some are extremely valuable, particularly older sets and promotional releases. We evaluate Japanese cards the same way we do English ones.
How do you determine what my cards are worth? We look at each card's specific name, set, edition, holo variant, condition, and what comparable copies are currently selling for across major marketplaces. It's a thorough process, not a quick glance.
Whether you're clearing out a childhood collection or parting with cards you've outgrown, PayMore in Los Angeles is the easiest way to get real money for them. Our specialists know Pokémon cards inside and out, and we're ready to make you a fair offer today. Bring in your collection and find out what it's worth.
