I come to you in Parkersburg
I'm in Parkersburg several times a week — I run the in-person buy/sell table at 740 Hobby on Murdoch Avenue Monday 5–7pm, Thursday 5–8pm, Friday 5–7pm, and Saturday 10am–3pm. Walk in with your cards, or text me ahead at (304) 916-7830 and I'll meet you anywhere in Parkersburg — your house, a coffee shop, the parking lot at South Parkersburg Walmart. Whatever's easiest for you.

Why sell to a local Parkersburg buyer instead of shipping to a national company?
Born and raised in the Mid-Ohio Valley. I know Parkersburg — I'm not some out-of-state buyer flipping you a quick lowball offer and disappearing. You can find me at 740 Hobby, at every local card show, and on YouTube as @bigjohnscards24. You get:
- Cash, same day — Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, check, or paper cash in person. No 30-day auction waits.
- No shipping risk — your cards don't get lost in the mail or sit in a backlog for months.
- Honest comps — I price using CardLadder, eBay sold comps, and current grade trends, and I'll show you the numbers on my phone.
- No fees — what I offer is what you get. No 13% seller fee, no 12.9% final value, no PayPal cut.
- A real reputation — I run Big John's Cards full-time, with a verified Google business page, an active YouTube channel, and a public weekly schedule at 740 Hobby.
