A COLLECTOR HELPING COLLECTORS

I’m Tim. I Built Tilted Because I’m In This Hobby Too.

I buy cards, submit cards, provide grading-prep and separate restoration/conservation services, consign high-end pieces, travel to shows and chase the same players you do. If you’re not sure what the smartest move is with a card or collection, that’s exactly what I help with.

No pressure. No guessing. Just a collector-to-collector conversation.

HOW I CAN HELP

Four Ways to Make a Better Move With Your Cards.

No giant menu of services. These are the four things collectors usually come to Tilted for.

Grading Prep & Submission Strategy

Condition review, limited presentation-focused preparation where appropriate, and a realistic conversation about whether the card makes sense to grade. Final grading and eligibility decisions belong to the grading company.

Explore Grading Prep →

Restoration & Conservation

Hands-on restoration and conservation work evaluated card by card. Restoration or alteration may affect grading eligibility and is separate from standard grading preparation.

Explore Restoration →

Consignment

For cards that deserve broader exposure, we help you think through presentation, pricing and the best route to market.

We Buy Cards & Collections

One card, a stack of slabs or an entire collection. Send photos and we’ll tell you what we’re interested in buying.

Evaluate My Cards

Tilted Sports Cards is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by PSA, SGC, BGS or any other grading company. We do not guarantee grading eligibility, authentication or any grade. Restoration or alteration may cause a grading company to reject a card, return it ungraded, designate it as altered or otherwise treat it differently under its own standards.

Collector Mindset

The goal isn't to grade everything.

The goal is to make better decisions with the cards you already own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sports Card Grading, Selling & Consignment FAQ

Do you grade sports cards yourself?

No. Independent grading companies assign grades. Tilted Sports Cards can help evaluate, prepare and guide cards for submission so collectors can make more informed decisions.

Can you tell me if my card is worth grading?

We can review a card's apparent condition, current market context and potential grading economics. No pre-grading evaluation can guarantee the grade an independent grading company will assign.

Do you buy entire sports card collections?

Yes. We consider individual cards, graded slabs, high-end cards and complete collections. Photos and a brief description are the best place to start.

What is the difference between selling and consigning?

A direct sale provides a negotiated offer and a faster exit. Consignment means the card is marketed for sale on your behalf, which can make sense for certain desirable cards when broader exposure is the priority.

Do you serve all of Orange County?

Yes. We serve collectors throughout Orange County, including Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, Tustin, Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point and San Clemente.

HIGH-END CONSIGNMENT EXPERIENCE

From Our Collection to Goldin.

I’ve sold high-end cards through Goldin myself, so when we talk about consignment, it comes from first-hand experience—not theory. For the right card, the right venue and presentation can matter.

Tilted Sports Cards is not claiming an affiliation or formal partnership with Goldin unless expressly stated. Goldin is a third-party marketplace.
