Jim,

I have been selling on COMC for a couple of years now. It's a great alternative to eBay; especially for $20 and under cards. Are you thinking of selling vintage or modern cards on COMC?

Well, I'm probably a little biased since I took a job there for two months between Beckett and Heritage, but I have been selling on COMC for four years. I have sold over 13,000 cards through it. It's an awesome site for not having to mess with eBay prepping (scanning, writing, posting). Well worth 25 cents per card. Personally, I don't send anything booking for less than $5 as my bottom end.

On good thing is port sales. You can try for a few months at singles, but if you just have junk you don't want, you can easily get 10-20% in a port sale, selling your entire lot of cards (even able to hold a few back).

I have also used the site to buy a decent amount of my pre-war HOFers. They tend to sell for more than eBay or BST here, but... if you earned the credit by selling cards you didn't want anyway, I don't mind paying a little more in "funny money" credit.

I can't speak highly enough of Tim Getsch (CEO) and his crew - they are great to deal with and I greatly enjoyed my time there.

Thanks for the responses, I guess I should try it.

Vintage, mostly 50's stuff.

I sent in a bunch of 1950s & 1960s football and did very well with them. Your 1950s baseball should sell great!

Enough can't be said about the great service COMC provides. They scan both sides of every card, assign each card a grade and upload it to your account. All you have to do is set a sale price and when it sells they pack and ship it. So easy!

Keep in mind, when you cash out, COMC gets 20%. A lot of sellers use their store credit to buy cards for their collections, thus avoiding the cash-out fees. Even if you do cash-out the 20% isn't much more than what eBay charges, especially if you factor in your most valuable asset (time).

Good luck!

Me too! It's a great place to find that seldomly seen card I just can't seem to find on Ebay!
