Can I have another source send cards on my behalf?
Yes! Please make sure the package includes your FULL NAME and EMAIL so we can identify the cards as yours.

Should we receive cards that do NOT meet our criteria, they will be kept in-house.

What are your consignment rates?
| Sales Price | Consignment Fee |
|---|---|
| $5 – $24.99 | 20% of sale* |
| $25 – $199.99 | 18% of sale* |
| $200 – $999.99 | 10% of sale* |
| > $1,000 | 5% of sale* |
NOTE: If a card is sold on eBay, then eBay fees will reduce the payout amount in addition to our consignment fees. For example, if a card sells on eBay for $200, eBay fees would be approximately $26.50, our consignment fee would be $20 and the payout would be $153.50.
* If a listed card sells for a final price under $5, a 50% consignment fee will be charged.
What format is used to list items?
- All cards are listed as 7 day auctions with a starting bid of $1.99.
- All auctions are scheduled to end nightly between 7:00PM – 11:00PM EST.
- Should you wish to consign a card using a Buy It Now (BIN) format please email us. Estimated value of $5,000+ is required.
What happens if an item sold for me gets returned?
If an item is returned to us the net amount will be deducted from what you are owed. We will then re-list the card to make another sale!
What happens to my unpaid items?
We allow eBay buyers 7 days for payment. After 7 days we will cancel the auction and re-list the item.
When will I get my payout?
We process payouts once a month during the first week of the following month. For example, if your items sell in January, you’ll receive your consignment report and payout in the first week of February.
What happens to my cards that do not sell?
Items that end with no bids will be kept in-house. Although there is work and time that goes into posting these cards, we do not charge a listing fee. The industry average is to charge anywhere from $1-5 PER LISTING.
