Buy Sports Cards in Vancouver: Canucks, Whitecaps and Graded Cards

2019 Upper Deck Quinn Hughes Young Guns RC

Vancouver is a hockey town first, but its card collectors chase everything from soccer and basketball to UFC. Card Tings is an online card shop based in Vancouver, BC that sells graded slabs, rookies, patches and autos. Here’s what Vancouver collectors look for, and how to buy sports cards online with confidence.

Hockey Cards: Collecting the Canucks

Hockey cards are the heart of collecting in Vancouver. Canucks fans chase Pavel Bure’s early-1990s rookie cards, Henrik and Daniel Sedin cards (both were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2022), and modern stars like Elias Pettersson, who won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie in 2019.

For modern hockey, Upper Deck Young Guns are the rookie cards everyone wants. Our Upper Deck Young Guns guide explains why. A great Vancouver example is the 2019 Upper Deck Quinn Hughes Young Guns, the rookie card of the defenceman the Canucks drafted 7th overall in 2018 and later named captain.

Soccer Cards: Whitecaps Fans and World Cup Collectors

Soccer collecting has grown fast in Vancouver. Whitecaps fans follow players like Alphonso Davies, who came up through the Whitecaps before moving to Bayern Munich, and BC Place hosted FIFA World Cup matches in 2026. That has brought a lot of new collectors to Topps Chrome, Panini Prizm and classic World Cup stickers.

Basketball and Football Cards

Vancouver had its own NBA team, the Grizzlies, from 1995 to 2001, and their cards are still a fun nostalgic collect. Today most basketball collectors chase modern rookies like Victor Wembanyama in Panini Prizm and Select. We also carry football cards, patches and autos.

Graded vs Raw Sports Cards

Graded cards are the safest way to buy online because the grade and the card are confirmed by a third party. Raw cards cost less and can be graded later. Read raw vs graded cards, compare graders in PSA vs BGS vs SGC vs CGC, and learn how parallels work in numbered cards and parallels explained. You can shop all graded sports cards in one place.

Want to Grade Your Own Cards?

Vancouver collectors don’t need to ship cards to the US themselves to get them graded. Our guide on how to submit cards to PSA from Canada covers the options. Wondering what a card is worth first? See how much is my sports card worth.
