What are the Consignment Fees & What Consignment Level Should I Use?

Please note: For each submission level, with the exception of our Auction consignments, processing fees are required to be paid upfront before your items can be listed for sale on COMC.  

COMC Consignment: Standard and Select

Standard and Select services are the two most economical ways to submit cards for consignment. These services are designed for submitting cards in bulk: a 20-card minimum for Standard, and a 10-card minimum for Select. These services include front and back images of your actual cards but are of lower resolution than our Elite Service photos.

Standard: 16-week submission turnaround. The cost is $0.50 per card, with a minimum submission quantity of 20 items.

Select: 2-week submission turnaround. The cost is $1 per card, and has a minimum submission quantity of 10 items.

Cards submitted with Standard and Select have a maximum list price on COMC of $100. For cards valued over $50, we recommend our Elite Service. At our discretion, we may upgrade Standard and Select cards valued above $100 to Elite.

In addition to these fees listed in the chart above, there is a $3 per-item sticker removal fee for stickers adhered to slabs by third parties. 

There are no additional fees for using either penny sleeves or team bags for your submission. 

Any item deposited to your account after its due date will automatically have its processing fee discounted by 50% for Select & Elite or 20% for Standard submissions. These times are calculated via business days (M-F), not calendar days, weekends, or holidays.

Which Consignment Service is Right for You?

Traditional Consignment Services:

Standard

• Low-end cards ranging from $1-$10 in value.
• Vintage and modern cards.
• Serial numbered, rookie, autographed, and memorabilia cards of minor stars.
• Non-numbered prospect and rookie base cards.
• Some base cards of major stars and legends.

For the best experience, we recommend that sellers spot-check the values of some of the items they are consigning that may already be available for sale on COMC. When supply exceeds demand on items, perceived value can differ from true market value.

Select

• Mid- & high-end cards ranging from $10-$50 in value.
• Vintage and modern cards.
• Serial numbered, rookie, autographed, or memorabilia cards of major stars and hot players.
• Rarer cards of players not currently hot or trending.

Elite

The Elite service is for raw and graded single trading cards with a sale value of more than $50.
The maximum list price for a non-Elite item is $100. Additionally, all items must be processed through Elite to become eligible for auction. There is a $2 fee to upgrade a non-Elite item so you can ask for more than $100.
