Questions regarding COMC

[58pinson]

Thanks again to everyone for weighing in. In particular John for taking the time to offer up his expertise with such an extensive list of points. My plans on COMC are to be strictly a seller. Time has come.

I guess the only way to know if certain types of cards will sell there is to open an account and be able to explore past sales information. For example, the 1992 Gameday football set seems to be lightly populated with decent prices, but if no one is buying it that doesn't seem to count for much.

I'll take John's caution about high value cards to heart and see if I can move some of them here on the BST at a fair price. Most (not all) of my stuff is mid-80's to mid-90's so the $$$ hits are rare, but at least I came out of that era with a decent stash of nicely graded Derek Jeter cards.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

If you click the histogram icon next to the price of a card, you can see if they regularly sell. If you play a few Challenges to earn history points, you'll also be able to see the highest prices those cards sold for. The larger number of sold cards, the more likely your card will sell if you send it. If there's 5 already on site and only one has sold in the last four years, don't bother.

What kind of stuff are you going to be posting?
