I’ve been collecting for a long time, and have poured a lot of time and love into this blog! On one hand, I just really like to talk cards. On the other, I also enjoy helping out newcomers and those with questions. Last, though, I also operate Ballcard Genius as a way to earn additional income. that’s no surprise, right? I mean, simply hosting and running the site costs money.
Given all of that, I’ve linked up with a lot of great companies and products, of which I receive commission when you click and purchase for yourself. You’ve probably seen them across the blog, but here they are in one page to help anyone looking for a good one or two places to start depending on their needs.

Card Marketplaces
Alt
Alt is a great app to research, buy and sell graded trading cards. As a buyer, you can purchase and hold cards in the Alt vault, or price and immediately resell.
eBay
When it comes to all of the different things I do with cards between researching them, buying, and selling, there often isn’t a need to look much further than eBay. Still a hobby favorite after all of these years and continually making upgrades in the card space.

Amazon Products
Rigid Document Mailers for eBay Standard Envelope
I like to use these more rigid document mailers when selling cards less than $20 on eBay and utilizing their Standard Envelope option. eBay advises to check with your post office to make sure these will work OK and without issue.
Vault X Card Binder/Folder
These are my absolute favorite folders to put cards into in lieu of binders. They don’t offer as good of protection, and you can’t switch the pages around, but I love the look and feel of these for my inserts.
Tiered Wood Display Stand
The wood display stand, when paired with acrylic stands, becomes my absolute favorite for showcasing my cards in magnetic cases. The combination not only offers visual appeal, but is one of the best ways to get your cards out there for the world to see.
