Sell Your Cards with Grid Cards UK
Sell Directly or Consign for Live Whatnot Auctions
Selling trading cards isn’t always straightforward. In many cases, the best way to achieve maximum value for a card is to list it on eBay at a fixed price and wait for the right buyer to come along.
That approach works well for collectors who are patient, price-led, and happy to wait — but it isn’t always the most liquid or time-efficient option, especially if you’re looking to move cards, reinvest, or free up capital.
That’s where Grid Cards UK comes in.
We offer two clear alternatives depending on whether you value speed and certainty, or live auction exposure to an engaged F1 audience.
Option 1: Sell Your Cards to Grid Cards UK (Fast & Simple)
If you’re looking for a quick, hassle-free sale, we actively buy cards directly from collectors.

We typically pay 70%–90% of current market value, depending on:
