Just Games is east side Rochester‘s source for Magic: the Gathering singles. We have a wide selection of Standard singles, but we also stock over a half-million individual cards in our card catalog, ranging from ultra-rare Legacy and Vintage staples like Moxes and Dual Lands, to casual EDH and Commander cards like Thrumming Stone and Gamble. We open thousands of packs so that you don’t have to!

When do you buy?
We recently updated our buying hours! We typically buy cards daily, by walk in, but if you have a large quantity or a valuable collection, an appointment is highly recommended. Email sales@justgamesroc.com to set one up.
How do you pay?
Store credit or PayPal payment (any applicable fees or taxes are the sellers responsibility). For larger collections of individual cards ($1000+) we may write a check.
Do you appraise / authenticate cards?
No, we do not.
When you bring cards in, we will offer a rate for the entire collection you bring in. We do not individually break cards out of stacks or sort your collection for you. Please bring us only cards you want to sell.
We can recommend some very good appraisal services if you need this, but we don’t perform them at the counter.
How do you value cards?
We use a combination of TCGPlayer’s Professional software, our database and price history, and a snapshot of large marketplaces that have that individual cards have sold or auctioned for for in the last 72 hours across multiple online markets (Ebay, Amazon, TCG, etc). This ensures that buy and sell prices are as accurate as possible.
