StockX was right behind eBay. It is trying to be an eBay alternative with PSA graded cards in the major sports. Their deal is that they act as an escrow: you ship to them, they get items to the buyers, so no horse-arounds with delivery. The rep told me that they recently had a very favorable evaluation with some venture capital people and expect a very large investment to fuel the expansion into other sports cards. There are no listing fees and you don't send them the card until payment is in hand. I hope they do emerge as a viable eBay alternative; if not, at least they had good snacks at the booth.
