How can we help?

Quick answers on buying & selling, autograph signings, and store visits. Still stuck? Call (636) 778-3848 or email help@fancave.com.

Buying & Selling

Do you buy cards?

Yes. We buy sports and Pokémon singles and sealed boxes (modern and vintage), graded cards, boxes, or entire collections.

Best way: come to the store or call (636) 778-3848 to make an appointment. Check our social media or call first so you don’t catch us at an event, doing inventory, or otherwise unavailable — we want to save you a trip.

Do you grade cards?

Yes. We accept PSA and JSA submissions through our store. This service is in-store only — bring your cards in and we’ll include them in our weekly submissions. For details, check out our grading submission page or ask in store.

Do you buy sports memorabilia?

Maybe. We’ll look at your memorabilia collection, but we require authenticity on all items. We can help authenticate items to expedite a purchase (for a fee). Memorabilia buys are best handled by email — send photos and details to help@fancave.com, or text/call (636) 778-3848.

Do you offer jersey customization?

Yes. We use a jersey customization company outside of Fan Cave. Letters and numbers are fully embroidered (not heat-applied). Flat fee is $90. Depending on volume, customization can take up to 6 weeks.

Autograph Signings

How do our autograph signings work?

Fan Cave offers player autograph signings throughout the year. We have exclusive contracts with players so fans get multiple chances to meet their favorites.

We announce signings on our website and primarily on Facebook (FanCaveSTL). Once scheduled, tickets go up under Autograph Tickets on the site. Each ticket is good for one autograph.

How much do autograph signings cost?

Pricing varies by player and item type. Costs are usually broken down as pucks/flats (pictures), oversized prints/items, and game-used items. Inscriptions are sold separately.

I purchased a ticket online — do I bring anything?

You don’t need to print a ticket. Check in at the front counter with the first and last name on the order and we’ll get you set. Bring the item you want signed — or buy one in-store if you don’t have one yet.

What’s an inscription vs a personalization?

A personalization is when a player writes something like “To Ryan” — usually included with the ticket. An inscription is an added stat or accomplishment (e.g. “2019 SC Champs”) and carries an extra fee that varies by signing.

What if I can’t make the signing?

We offer drop-off and mail-in options. Bring your item by the event deadline and we’ll have it signed. Pickup is usually about 2 days after the signing so we can authenticate each item.

Mailing in? Buy your ticket online, then send the item with a filled-out drop-off form (how you want it signed), your contact info, and return shipping if needed.

What time should we arrive?

Plan on 30–60 minutes early. That gives everyone time to pick up tickets, buy an item to sign if needed, and get settled in line.

Do you offer authentication at signings?

Yes. Most signings include Fan Cave authentication at no extra cost. JSA (and similar third-party options) is sometimes available for an additional fee. We can only authenticate items signed by the player at that specific event — not previously signed pieces.
