Selling Your Cards on This Site
Full-service consignment
At this time we only offer full-service consignment. You send your cards to us and
we do all the work to process the cards and list them on our site and advertize
them on Google and many other sites. The processing includes scanning both sides
of every card, entering the descriptions, looking up the book values, and uploading
this information into your account. As a seller on the site, you always retain ownership
of your cards. You get to determine the Ask Price, you can accept or reject any
offers, and you can have any of your cards shipped back to you at any time.
This allows us to guarantee a high quality of service, and it allows our customers
to minimize their shipping costs. Learn more about how it works.
We are investigating other options. Please let us know how you would like to use
the site. Contact Us
Fees & Commission
We charge an upfront processing fee per card. Check our fees page
for our current prices.
Once cards sell, we do all this shipping and payment processing, and we credit your
account for 100% of the sale price. You can use that store credit to buy anything
from the site, you can pay for any of the services offered by the site, or you can
convert your store credit to cash. We take
20%
commission when converting store credit to cash. We take no commission or additional
fees when using store credit on our site.
How long it will take for you cards to appear online
With our current staff and with the current demand for our service, these are our
most realistic estimates. As our staff grows and becomes more efficient, we hope
to see these estimates shrink.
- Submissions of 200 or fewer cards generally take about two weeks to go online.
- Most shipments of 1,000 cards will take less than a month to go online.
- Allow two weeks for each additional 1,000 cards.
Items you can sell on this site
Currently we only support singles that can be found in Beckett's online price guide.
Items we do not support on the site
DO NOT send us any of the following.
If you send us any items listed below, we will send them back to you.
- Graded cards
- Supporting cards that have been reviewed and encased by professional grading services such as PSA and Beckett Grading
is one of our most common requests. We will add support for graded cards and encased
cards later this year, but we don't currently support them.
- Encased cards (e.g. uncirculated cards)
- Jumbo cards
- Non-sports cards
- Unopened packs
- Unopened boxes
- Factory sealed complete sets
- In the near future we will add support for lots and sets, but we still plan to scan
every card in the lot or set. We don't currently have plans to support factory sealed
sets.
- Unlicensed or oddball cards not listed in Beckett
- Filler cards not listed in Beckett
- Autographs not listed in Beckett
- If a card was autographed after it was pulled from a pack, we don't have a way to
do authentication. So we won't sell the card. If it came autographed in a pack and
is listed in Beckett's online price guide, that is fine. Those cards are great on
our site.
- Memorabilia
- Memorabilia cards are fine, but we don't currently support pennants, plaques, jerseys,
bats, etc.
- Cards not worth putting on the site
- Our rule of thumb is that we try to make our service cost effective for cards worth
$1 or more. There are many cards worth less than $1 that might still be worth putting
on the site (e.g. vintage commons and commons from the current year). We may use
our discretion and return cards that might not be worth going through the system.
Typically we only do this when we receive large lots or cards that are primarily
commons from the 1980's and 1990's.
- We do not recommend that you bother looking up every single cards value before sending
the cards to us. That is very time consuming, and that is one of the services that
we provide as part of processing your cards.
- If you want to look up some prices before sending cards to us, we recommend Beckett's online price
guide. For about $6 you can get a one month subscription, and it lists all of
the cards that we support on the site.
- Damaged cards
- The condition of a card can significantly affect its value. We try to weed out cards
that buyers might not be happy with. Normal wear for vintage cards may be fine,
but creases or wrinkles will not be allowed. We occasionally make exceptions for
vintage cards that book for hundreds of dollars, and in these cases we will take
the time to document the flaws that may not appear in the scan. Buyer satisfaction
is guaranteed. If a customer is not satisfied with the condition of the card, it
may get returned to you.
- Altered cards
- Cards that have been trimmed, doctored, or otherwise altered will not be allowed
on the site.
- Counterfeit & Fake cards
- Selling through us is not like selling through eBay or other website. We actually
police the items for sale on our site. This is part of the way that we make it safe
for our buyers. It is illegal to intentionally sell counterfeit or fake cards as
if they are authentic. If you send us any card that has known counterfeits or we
are not certain of its authenticity, we will have the card reviewed by a third party.
If the item is found to be counterfeit, we may have to keep it as evidence. If you
were intentionally trying to defraud a potential buyer we will have to report it
to the authorities.
Note: We reserve the right to reject any cards for any reasons. If we do so, the
cards will simply be returned to you.
Packaging instructions
You are responsible for making sure that your cards arrive safely.
Assume that your package will be tossed around while in transit. Please use one
of the following techniques for packing the cards.
- 2 Piece Slider Boxes - Put the raw cards directly in 2 piece slider boxes, tape the slider boxes shut, and then put
them in a larger box with newspaper or some other form of padding to cushion them.
- Cardboard boxes - Put the raw cards directly in cardboard boxes, and then put them in a larger box with newspaper
or some other form of padding to cushion them.
- Penny sleeves & cardboard boxes - Put the cards in penny sleeves and then in a 100-400 count cardboard box. If you use boxes larger than 400 count or
if you use more than one box, you MUST put the boxes in a larger box and cushion
the box with newspaper or some other padding.
- Toploaders - Put the cards in toploaders and then in a team bag/graded card sleeve or cardboard box. This works
well for a small number of cards, but with large quantities this tends to be the
most expensive, due to the weight of the toploaders.
- 9 Pocket Pages - Put the cards in protective pages and wrap the pages in newspaper to make sure
they don't move around. You don't need to include a binder, but you must make sure
that there is sufficient padding between the pages and the box so that the cards
won't be damaged in transit.
If you are interested in sending 500 cards or more and you don't have the above
supplies on hand, send us an email. We can send you
a kit with everything you need to send us the cards.
Shipping instructions
You are welcome to use any shipper you would like, but we require some form of tracking
number or delivery confirmation.
