Sell Magic Cards – Guide for collectors, players and heirs

Selling Magic: The Gathering (MTG) cards is not only something for active players. Many people in Germany, Austria and across Europe own collections from the 90s or 2000s, inherited Magic cards from friends or relatives, or simply want to sell their Magic collection because they no longer play.

In this ultimate guide, you’ll learn step by step how to sell Magic cards in the best way – whether it’s individual cards, a whole collection, or even bulk cards. We’ll explain how to determine the value of your cards, how to prepare a safe sale, and why direct selling to a professional buyer like Big O Cards is often the easiest and most reliable option.

1. Step One: Determine what’s in your collection

Before you sell your Magic cards, it’s important to get a rough overview:

How many cards do you have? (Weight in kilograms often helps for large collections)
Which editions are included? (e.g. Alpha/Beta, Urza’s Saga, Mirrodin Block, Return to Ravnica, etc.)
Any highlights? Often, a few cards such as Underground Sea, Black Lotus or Library of Alexandria make up the majority of the value.

➡️ Tip: Take photos of the most valuable cards or write a short list. This makes the MTG card selling process much faster and easier.

2. Step Two: Find out the value of your Magic cards

One of the most common questions sellers ask:

“Which Magic cards are worth money?”
“How can I find out if my Magic cards have value?”
“How to recognize expensive Magic cards?”
“Are German Magic cards worth anything?”

The answer: It depends on edition, rarity, condition and demand.

Condition (Cardmarket standard): From Near Mint (NM) to Played (PL) or Poor (P) – the better the condition, the higher the value.
Rarity: Mythic Rares and Reserved List cards are usually the most valuable.
Language: English cards usually sell for more than German or other localized versions.
Playability: Cards that are played in competitive formats (Modern, Legacy, Commander/EDH) often have stable demand.

If you’re unsure, you can always send us photos or a list – we’ll provide a first estimate quickly and transparently.

3. Step Three: Decide how you want to sell

You basically have three options for selling Magic cards:

Online marketplaces (eBay, Cardmarket, TCGPlayer) – potentially good prices, but time-consuming and risky.
Local hobby shops – fast, but often lower prices.
Direct sale to a professional buyer like Big O Cards – fast, fair, and secure.

At Big O Cards, we buy everything:

All single cards worth €0.50+ → around 70–75% of current market value
Bulk rares/mythics → €0.07 each
Bulk commons/uncommons → €3 per kilogram

This way, you can sell your Magic collection easily, without hidden fees or wasting time.

4. Step Four: Safe shipping and final check

If you’re located in Hamburg or Northern Germany, we can even arrange a personal meeting.
For sellers from Germany, Austria, or elsewhere in Europe, shipping is the easiest option.

We’ll provide you with detailed packaging and shipping instructions:

Always protect cards with sleeves and boxes
Use padding to avoid corner damage
Choose tracked and insured shipping

If needed, we create a preliminary purchase contract for maximum security.

Once we receive your cards, we do the final check in-house.
