About
Two Markets. One System. Two Guys Who Care About Cards.
Machete Cards is a partnership between two collectors on two coasts, built on a simple idea: sellers deserve a straight answer and a clean process, whether they're holding a shoebox of bulk or a binder of graded hits.

Why two markets
The operating advantage
Most local card buyers see one market: their own. We see two — Long Island's deep collector base in the Northeast and Northeast Florida's fast-growing scene in the Southeast.
Behind both sits a single shared system: one pricing process, one intake and custody record, one standard for how sellers get treated. A collection evaluated in Port Jefferson gets the same math as one in Ponte Vedra — and inventory can flow to whichever market, show, or marketplace will treat it best.
That's the whole pitch: local-buyer convenience with a process built like a real operation, not a folding table and a calculator.
