A safe harbor
for collectors.
Minthaven is a small team of collectors in Hamburg. We buy and sell trading cards, and we treat every card as if it were our own.
Buying a card online should feel as safe as buying it across the counter.
Too many collectors have received a card in worse shape than the photos promised, or a slab that turned out to be fake. We started Minthaven to change that. Every card we sell comes from our own stock, so we know exactly where it has been.
When you sell to us, you deal with the same people. One offer, no haggling, and a fair price based on what cards actually sell for.
Test version: replace this story with your own words, names and photos of your team.
How we check every card
Nothing goes into the shop before it has passed these four steps.
- AuthenticateWe compare print pattern, card stock and holo layer against known genuine copies. For slabs we verify the certificate number with the grading company.
- Grade the condition honestlyWe inspect corners, edges, surface and centering under daylight lamps and note every flaw in the listing.
- Photograph front and backYou see the actual card you will receive, not a stock image.
- Pack it to survive the tripSleeve, toploader and rigid mailer for singles. Bubble wrap and a box for slabs and sealed product. Every parcel is insured.
Honest condition
If a card has a flaw, we say so. Our condition guide explains exactly what each grade means.
Fair prices
We price against recent sales, both when we sell and when we buy. You can see the market value next to our price.
