About Us
If you’re looking for corporate hobby fluff …
We aren’t it.
About Tri-State Toploaders
Tri-State Toploaders was built by collectors who were tired of watching the sports card hobby get overcomplicated, overhyped, and under-delivered. We’re from the New York–New Jersey–Connecticut tri-state area, where honesty matters, reputations stick, and if something’s trash—we call it trash.
We blend real hobby knowledge, data-driven decisions, and zero-BS transparency with a personality that actually sounds like the people in the hobby—not a press release.
What We Actually Do
We don’t “flip cards.”
We manage assets.
Tri-State Toploaders specializes in:
Grading submissions (without the mystery, markup games, or radio silence)
Consignment sales (priced to sell, not sit)
Market strategy (because comps matter more than feelings)
Brand-driven exposure (your cards don’t sell in a vacuum)
Whether it’s a single card or an entire collection, we treat your inventory like it matters—because it does.
Our Philosophy
Let’s be clear:
We don’t promise PSA 10s
We don’t guarantee timelines we can’t control
We don’t inflate comps to make you feel good
We don’t hide fees, delays, or decisions
What we do promise:
Clear communication
Transparent pricing
Market-backed decisions
Professional handling
And accountability if something goes sideways
The hobby doesn’t need more hype—it needs more trust.
