How do you know if you qualify as a big guy with cake?

Do your cake consumption habits make you a big guy with cake?

I sent in a group of seven cards. Six T200 SGC graded cards and a popular early sixties high grade PSA graded Topps RC. They don't provide a lot of pricing guidance and you have the ability to edit your prices at any time.

I chose to price around VCP recent maximums. So far three of the T200s have sold and they reached out and took the Topps RC to the National where it sold.

The sales were strong at the top of VCP. The Topps RC was the third highest of around 15 sold in 2025, two of the three Fatimas would bump the VCP max up had they collected the data and the third was 3% under VCP max losing out to a MUCH nicer card.

The 5% commission is nice and so is the fact that they email you a check for you to print. There is a little bit of a lag maybe a week to 10 days between the sale and the time they send you the money but their portal is pretty clear on whether the item is paid or unpaid.

But despite my sales I still got my ass kicked in their auction and came away with zilch.

You can typically get some large Ebay consignment shops to do 5% on high value cards, but REA is 5% for 2025 submissions.

I would give them my highest recommendation at this point.
