It is easy to set up a free account and start selling your cards on COMC! In order to have the most enjoyable experience while utilizing COMC, it is important to understand the COMC marketplace and how we function.
As a consignment business, we neither buy nor sell cards, but instead act as a third party for sales. Customers pay us an initial processing fee for our service of receiving, scanning, identifying, and listing their cards, and then the customer sets the selling price for each of their cards via their account page.
We have upfront processing fees to have your card submitted and listed on COMC, refer to our fees page below. When a card sells via a fixed-price listing, a 5% transaction fee is charged, and the remaining 95% profit is deposited into the customer's account as COMC Credit. This credit can be used to purchase and ship cards on our site or pay for the processing of further cards. In order to withdraw funds from sales there is a 10% cash-out fee.
For a full list of our services and fees (including storage fees), please visit our Fees page here.
Additionally, we do recommend that prospective consignors do a bit of homework in spot-checking their collections by comparing some of the cards they are considering consigning to similar cards already listed on COMC. If there are already dozens (or, in some cases, hundreds) of copies of a given card at a low price already on the site, it would probably be unwise to consign that card, as it would likely need to be sold at a loss after processing to even move the card. It is also worth your time to examine a list of what we do and do not accept on our Supported Trading Cards page here. Also note, we deal exclusively in singles; any sets that sellers send to us are broken down into individual cards before we upload them.
You may initiate a submission by going to our Submission Wizard here. You may learn more about the Submission Wizard on our "How to Complete the Submission Wizard" article.
Supported Item Policy
Please review our comprehensive Supported Item Policy page here. We accept only individual items, not lots or sets, and the item must be licensed, authentic and family-friendly in addition to meeting our other listed criteria. Graded items must be encapsulated by one of our accepted grading companies listed on our Supported Item page.
When do processing timeframes begin?
Your submission's processing timeframe begins once your package is received and entered by COMC. You will receive an automatic email alert as soon as your package is entered which will also provide your batch's due date.
Are the processing service times guaranteed?
All of our submission service levels have guaranteed due dates. For submissions that arrive with incorrect or missing paperwork, no discount will be applied in these instances. Submissions that have missed due dates receive an automatic 50% discount on all Elite and Select cards processed subsequent to the due date. An automatic 20% discount is applied on late Standard cards.
What is considered an Oversized or Thick item?
Modern cards larger than 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" or Vintage cards larger than 2 5/8" by 3 3/4" are considered oversized. Items from either era over 130 pt. (1/10th of an inch) are considered oversized.
Poker chips, coins, metallic cards, clear pack-sealed single items and "Tallboy" cards are considered oversized. 1989 Bowman is not considered oversized.
Please note that we do not support items with dimensions greater than 11.5" x 16.5".
Can I submit a redemption card?
Redemption items were at one time supported for consignment with COMC, which is why you might see pending redemptions available for sale on COMC. However, support of newly consigned redemption items has since been discontinued. This means any redemption items we receive for consignment will be processed into your account as an 'Unsupported' item and will incur the standard processing fees. Please see our Supported Items Page for more information on what items are supported for consignment.
What if an item I submitted is found to be trimmed or altered?
Trimmed and altered cards cannot be sold on COMC. Items submitted to COMC that are found to be trimmed or altered will be processed under the Elite Service so that we can document the evidence of alteration. These items will be uploaded into their owner’s accounts with processing fees charged. Owners of these items will not be able to price these items to sell and will need to have these items returned to them at their expense.
Trimmed or altered items that have already been processed and are later found to be trimmed or altered will be returned to the original consignor. The original consignor will be responsible for covering any grading or condition review fees as well as the sale price paid by the last buyer and an additional $10 investigation fee.
May I submit multiple submissions in one package?
Yes, you may submit multiple submissions to different processing service levels together in one package as long as the individual submissions are clearly labeled, are grouped with their respective paperwork, and able to be distinguished easily and clearly from each other. It is best to differentiate submissions by using the below techniques.
Items intended for different service levels (such as designating one group of cards for a lower service level and another group for a higher service level) should be clearly separated and accurately labeled, either by labeling the card container for that group of cards with the desired service level or by taping the corresponding portion of the submission paperwork to that group of items. If there are more cards intended for a single service level than can fit in one inner box, then we recommend labeling the boxes serially. such as "Elite, 1 of 2" and "Elite, 2 of 2". Typically, if we receive a submission for which we cannot easily determine which cards belong to which service levels, our tendency in the best interests of the consignor is to enter the submission at our most inexpensive service level.
When will a missing/incorrect paperwork fee be assessed?
Submissions received without paperwork, or with incorrect paperwork will be assessed a $5.00 fee. This fee will be assessed if your estimated count is off by more than 20%.
What is the Maximum List Price? Can I submit high-value items at submission levels other than Auction or Elite Services?
The maximum list price for items consigned through the Standard or Select service is $100. To price an item above $100, a $2 Item Upgrade Fee will be charged for cards that were not originally submitted at our Elite level. This fee does not automatically reprocess your item. However, if you have paid this fee, you may go to your Inventory Manager and have your item Reprocessed as Elite at no additional cost.
Items with a market value of $100 or more may automatically be upgraded to the Elite Service at our discretion upon arrival.
