Trading Cards & Collectibles

Got cards? We've got answers.

The trading card market is booming — but knowing what you've got and what it's actually worth can be overwhelming. Whether it's a binder of base set Pokémon, a box of vintage Magic: The Gathering, or inherited cards you can't identify, we're here to help.

We provide expert identification, honest market valuations, and professional cataloguing for Pokémon, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards, and more. We know the difference between a shadowless Charizard and a standard print, and we'll make sure you do too. If you want to sell, we buy directly at fair market prices — no auction fees, no waiting.

  • Expert identification — shadowless, 1st editions, misprints, and rarities
  • Current market valuations based on PSA, BGS, and CGC sales data
  • Grading preparation and PSA/BGS submission guidance
  • Direct purchase at fair market price — cash in hand

01

Consultation

A no-obligation conversation to understand your collection, your goals, and how we can help.

Professional photography, detailed cataloguing, and careful research — all carried out on-site.

05

06

Beyond

Valuations, sales, or new acquisitions — we're your long-term collection partner.

The difference is expertise

We don't outsource. We don't refer. Every valuation, every catalogue entry, every sale is handled by our team — with the knowledge and care your collection deserves.

"From a Colin McCahon to a first edition Charizard"
The full spectrum of expertise

No Middlemen

In-house expertise for valuations and sales. Traditional auction houses take 15-25% in seller's premiums and buyer's fees. We connect you directly to buyers, meaning higher net returns, faster results, and full transparency at every step.

Complete Discretion

Full confidentiality for private collections, estates, and high-value items. Every engagement handled with the utmost professionalism.

Art to Trading Cards

Whether it's a Colin McCahon or a first edition Charizard, we bring the same care, research, and expertise to every item.

Nationwide, On-Site

We travel anywhere in Aotearoa with our own professional equipment. Hands-on, in-person attention — your items never leave your sight and never leave your home.

Luke Fehnker-Heather

Founder & Director, NZ Art Services

I've been collecting since I was eight years old. What started with drawing and scribbling in the covers of my textbooks and trading cards in the school playground turned into a lifelong obsession with art, history, and the stories behind the things people keep.

Over the years, I've built personal collections spanning multiple things from trading cards, fine art, antiques, and curiosities of every kind. I know the thrill of finding something rare in a forgotten box, and I know the heartbreak of finding out something isn't what you hoped.

That's why I started NZ Art Services. Too many people are sitting on collections they don't fully understand, paying auction houses 20% or more to sell items they've never had properly valued. I wanted to offer something different: genuine expertise, honest valuations, and a direct path to market that puts more money in your pocket.

Whether you've inherited a house full of art, rediscovered your childhood card collection, or you're a serious collector looking for discreet, expert support, I'd love to have a conversation.
