Our Story
Built by a Family.
Named After Our Son.
We are Butch and Tamera, the husband-and-wife team behind Mint By Memphis. We buy and sell sports cards, and we named the company after our son.
The Name
Why We Are Called Mint By Memphis
When we started, we wanted a name that actually meant something to us. So we named it after our son, Memphis. It was not a branding exercise. It is simply the truth, and it quietly changed how we run everything.
Our family name, our son's name, is on every card we list and every offer we make. When you sell to us, you are trusting a family that put its own name on the line first.
Who You Are Working With
Meet Butch and Tamera
It is just the two of us. We read every message, we make every offer ourselves, and we pack every order at our own table. No call center, no middleman, no account managers. We are collectors first, the same as you, so we know what it feels like to chase one card for years, and what it means to part with a collection you spent a lifetime building. We treat yours the way we would want ours treated.
For Sellers
Why People Trust Us With Their Collections
Mailing a valuable collection to someone you have never met is a real leap of faith. It should be. So we built our whole process so that you are never the one holding the risk.
- You get a fair range before you ship, then your exact offer once we verify in hand.
- You approve the final number before any money moves, and walk away free if you pass.
- Every shipment is fully insured, both ways, on our label.
- Once your cards are verified on camera, you are paid fast.
We call this promise The Memphis Standard, and every collection that comes to us is Protected by MBM. You can see exactly how it works, step by step, on our Sell page.
If you are still wondering whether you can trust us, remember whose name is on the door. It is our son's. We are not going to be the family that let you down.
What We Believe
A Few Things We Hold To
Not a mission statement. Just how the two of us think about this.
- A collection is never just cards. It is time, money, and usually a story. We treat it that way.
- A fair offer beats a fast flip. We would rather pay you right and keep you for life than win once.
- The hobby is small and word travels. The only way to last is to do right by people, every time.
- Trust is built one deal at a time, and lost in one. We never forget which deal we are on.
- We were collectors long before we were buyers, and we never want to lose that.
