What's It Worth?

Find out what your game is worth — and what Cart-A-Vision will pay.

Use our free comp tool to look up any game, set the condition, and choose how complete it is. You'll see the current market value and exactly what we'd offer you — cash or trade credit — before you ever ship anything.

How It Works

Enter your game title, pick the platform, set the condition (Loose, CIB, or New/Sealed), and tell us what's included. The tool pulls current comp data and shows you a real offer — not a range, not a 'we'll let you know.' A number. Right there.

Cash or Trade Credit — Your Call

Every offer comes with two options: take cash, or take trade credit at a higher value. Trade credit can be used on anything in the store. You pick what works for you. We don't push one over the other.

No Commitment to Check

Looking up a value doesn't start anything. No account required, no shipping label generated, no obligation. It's just a number. If you like what you see, you can start a trade-in from there. If not, no harm done.

Our Guarantee

We pay return shipping either way. The refund is your choice, not ours.
This isn't policy buried in fine print. It's exactly what happens if something goes wrong on either side of a deal, whether you're buying from us or trading something in to us. Read it once. It won't change depending on who you ask.

Buying From Us: 30-Day Return & Authenticity Guarantee

If what arrives doesn't match its listed condition, or isn't authentic as described, it's a full return within 30 days. We pay for the return shipping. You don't pay anything to send it back. Your refund comes as cash or store credit, whichever you want. That call is yours, not ours.

Trading In To Us

If an item inspects lower than what you told us, you'll see a revised offer with the real reason attached: repro or bootleg, too damaged, non-functional, not wanted, or below minimum value. Same locked list every time, nothing improvised. Take the revised offer, or say no and we'll ship it back to you. Free, same as the return shipping above. No silent lowballing. No 'we'll just keep it' default. Every call is yours.

Lost or Damaged in Transit

Covered either direction: on the way to us, or on the way back to you. Every label is tracked and insured to the full comp value of what's inside, whether that's a $600 grail or a $5 loose cart.

How We Grade It

Our grading process ensures authenticity and accuracy at every step

01

CAT. #CAV-201

Identification & Authenticity

Every game gets confirmed against the submission (right title, right platform, right region), then checked against known-genuine prints. Label font and kerning, cart shell color and texture, board stamps, screw types. Anything that doesn't match gets flagged and priced as what it actually is, never passed off as real.

  • TITLE, PLATFORM, AND REGION CONFIRMED AGAINST SUBMISSION
  • LABEL, SHELL, BOARD, AND SCREW CHECKED AGAINST KNOWN-GENUINE REFERENCES
  • SUSPECTED REPRO OR COUNTERFEIT GAMES FLAGGED, NEVER PASSED OFF AS REAL
02

CAT. #CAV-202

Condition Inspection

Every game gets checked under real light, by hand: label wear, cart or disc scratches, case cracks, manual tears, insert condition, against the same Near Mint through Damaged standard TCGplayer and the rest of the industry use. Condition never rounds up to make an offer look better than the game actually is.

  • LABEL, CART/DISC, CASE, MANUAL, AND INSERTS CHECKED UNDER LIGHT
  • GRADED AGAINST THE STANDARD NM / LP / MP / HP / DAMAGED SCALE
  • NEVER ROUNDED UP TO INFLATE THE OFFER
03

CAT. #CAV-203

Graded Game Verification

If a game comes in already graded (WATA, VGA, CGC), we confirm the case actually matches the game and grade claimed, and check the case itself for cracks or signs of tampering. A loose cart never gets priced as if it were sealed, and a mismatched or damaged case gets flagged before anything else happens.

  • CASE CHECKED AGAINST THE CLAIMED COMPANY, GRADE, AND GAME
  • CRACKED OR TAMPERED CASES FLAGGED BEFORE PRICING
  • LOOSE CARTS NEVER PRICED AS IF THEY WERE SEALED
04

CAT. #CAV-204

Pricing & Listing

Comp comes from real market data for that exact game, platform, and condition or grade: the same locked cash/credit/resale formula as every card on this site. If the photos or inspection don't add up to a clean read, it doesn't get listed off a guess. It goes back for a closer look, or gets priced conservatively instead of optimistically.

  • COMP PULLED FROM REAL MARKET DATA, SAME LOCKED FORMULA AS CARDS
  • NOTHING LISTED OFF A GUESS
  • AMBIGUOUS CASES PRICED CONSERVATIVELY, NOT OPTIMISTICALLY
01

CAT. #CAV-211

Identification & Authenticity

Every card gets confirmed against the submission (right card, right set, right number), then checked against known-genuine prints. Font and kerning, HP values that actually fit the card's era, holo pattern, card back print quality. Anything that doesn't match gets flagged and priced as what it actually is, never passed off as real.

  • CARD, SET, AND NUMBER CONFIRMED AGAINST SUBMISSION
  • FONT, PRINT, AND HOLO PATTERN CHECKED AGAINST KNOWN-GENUINE REFERENCES
  • SUSPECTED REPRO OR COUNTERFEIT CARDS FLAGGED, NEVER PASSED OFF AS REAL
02

CAT. #CAV-212

Condition Inspection

Every card gets checked under real light, by hand: corners, edges, surface, and centering, against the same Near Mint through Damaged standard TCGplayer and the rest of the industry use. Condition never rounds up to make an offer look better than the card actually is.

  • CORNERS, EDGES, SURFACE, AND CENTERING CHECKED UNDER LIGHT
  • GRADED AGAINST THE STANDARD NM / LP / MP / HP / DAMAGED SCALE
  • NEVER ROUNDED UP TO INFLATE THE OFFER
03

CAT. #CAV-213

Graded Card Verification

If a card comes in already graded (PSA, BGS, CGC), we confirm the slab actually matches the card and grade claimed, and check the slab itself for cracks or signs of tampering. A raw card never gets priced as if it were graded, and a mismatched or damaged slab gets flagged before anything else happens.

  • SLAB CHECKED AGAINST THE CLAIMED COMPANY, GRADE, AND CARD
  • CRACKED OR TAMPERED SLABS FLAGGED BEFORE PRICING
  • RAW CARDS NEVER PRICED AS IF THEY WERE GRADED
04

CAT. #CAV-214

Pricing & Listing

Comp comes from real market data for that exact card, set, and condition or grade: the same locked cash/credit/resale formula as every game on this site. If the photos or inspection don't add up to a clean read, it doesn't get listed off a guess. It goes back for a closer look, or gets priced conservatively instead of optimistically.

  • COMP PULLED FROM REAL MARKET DATA, SAME LOCKED FORMULA AS GAMES
  • NOTHING LISTED OFF A GUESS
  • AMBIGUOUS CASES PRICED CONSERVATIVELY, NOT OPTIMISTICALLY
