Yep since yesterday. Possible they are making changes with adding a new set or something.

I received my BF week shipment on Christmas Eve and was very happy with the number of potential gems there.

My main knock on COMC right now is they are very slow uploading standard submissions. It used to be I'd get a few sprinkled in the first month, then more the second, and so forth. Now, very few are loaded within two months and most are not hitting until the 4th month. As such, I've been listing easier sells on eBay so long as I can still get a few bucks out of a listing.

Aren't they removing all the Marvel and Disney sets at the end of the year?

From my understanding a select list of marvel sets stay on into 2025 some (I think the Fantatics license takeover technically just said Q1 2025 not Jan 1st). UD had a press release saying which sets continue on into Q1. Im not 100% on this though.

I almost wondered if they are crunching the new MM24 onto ePack within a narrow time period, even by like tomorrow. Wouldn’t be surprised by something like that. Maybe that set isn’t going to be on epack though, this is wild speculation

I really want to meet CardCollector1977 and find out what he's doing. 2020 Topps Update seems to be the set of the moment.

[Dragonman]

Yea he is awesome. He probably buys about 15-30 cards a day from me(virtually every day) and buys baseball cards that have been sitting in my port for 10-15 years along with more recent ones...he is also not like the couple clowns at or near the top who only buy 2 and 3 cent cards that only have a SRP.

Cardcollector1977 is buying up COMC!

Seriously, the last week this dude has been buying all my cheap baseball stuff, too. It’s crazy how much he must be buying with everyone reporting dozens of sales to him.

He's been buying a bunch of 1990s baseball refractors from me - cool stuff!

On another note, can anyone explain why when pricing items some have a per item S&H fee of $0.25 and others have a fee of $0.45?

I'm not sure if they still charge 45 cents on newly processed items, but in the old days 45 cents was the processing charge for items which needed some special handling, like they were slightly oversized and needed to be scanned in a toploader, or they were encased, or they were vintage sized and wouldn't fit in a standard 9 pocket sleeve. Sometimes they would also charge it for booklets or very thick cards.

It appears that COMC now puts the card title in text at the top of the card page.

It's not much, but it's the first significant change to the main site that I've noticed in over a year.

If you deal in multiples of a card, this makes it easier to copy the title description and paste it into Inventory Manager for quick repricing.

It might also make it easier for people who use computer programs to assist them with COMC.

Additionally, it could help with algorithms or search engine optimization somehow.

Usually, .45 for a card that is in a toploader and $1 for elite items.

Thanks. I just had about 160 cards get uploaded last night and I'd say 50% have the $0.45 S&H fee and 50% have $0.25. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense which cards have the higher S&H fee - all are standard size, all were submitted in penny sleeves only and the values are all over the map (i.e. a $1.00 card may have a $0.45 S&H fee and a $25 card may only have a $0.25 S&H fee). This is the first I've noticed this. Anyone have any ideas?

There must be a team of buyers as he buys my cards all day long. Morning noon and night...Today he bought all or most of my David Cone, Gene Tenace, Rick Wise & Bo Bichette cards....................If anyone has baseball and he is not buying tons of your cards then your prices are too high and there is probably no better gauge.

It's possible that someone left a default setting on (possibly not even for one of your cards) and then processed a bunch of cards this way. If you're inclined, you could report some or all of them and see what happens. Easiest way to do this would be to scroll Inventory Manager by "recently added", look for the 45 cent handling fees, and then "Action / Request A Correction". If you write some brief inquiry and then copy it, you can paste it into the "More Details" field.

Has anyone that is normally tax exempt been charged sales tax when buying COMC credit today? It reminded me to send them my 2025 copy….but obviously today should have been tax free

That would make some sense.

All four players noted have or recently had autograph contracts with Fanatics.

Lou Piniella
Bucky Dent
Andre Dawson
Jim Rice
Rod Carew
Trevor Hoffman

These are all recent ones purchased from my account.

[xbignick]

Has anyone have a card come back from COMC grading with a scratch on the case? Seems like something they should have taken care of or am I SOL?

My store probably isn't as big as some of the accounts on here, but he's recently purchased from mine (going back to 12/18):

Barry Zito
Andy Pettitte
Ryne Sandberg
Trevor Hoffman
Vladimir Guerrero
Jered Weaver
Juan Gonzalez
Eric Davis
Buster Posey
Will Clark

It is also all Topps or Bowman cards even from the pre-exclusive license years

[Crosby 87]

Haven't sold any to this buyer but the only baseball i have I listed is recent prospects and rookies so that doesn't gel with the recent listed players

[3124508 on COMC]

My money is on this being the working checklist for 2025 Topps Archives Signature Series.
