All I want to do is talk about COMC

This stinks, you guys

Yeah, the 20% discount was a very nice perk for "Managed Accounts" but I think my days of submitting to COMC may be coming to a close with this change coupled with the increased submission fee.

Is the ingesting cards part referring to cards that are purchased from other COMC ports that are being resold by other COMC users?

According to the email I received today, as long as your submission to them is postmarked by 10/31, it will still qualify for the discount. If you feel your cards are worth submitting at 52 cents each, then do it and save yourself the work.

No. It refers to cards being sent in by you, either by mail or dropped off in person/at a show.

I did get this email today (didn't they just claim to have reduced wait times for shipping??):

Thank you for your shipment request with COMC! We apologize for not meeting our estimated ship date. Track the status of your shipment.

Our time to fulfill orders has increased because of extraordinarily high demand. Our shipping team is working diligently to close the gap on these delays.

As a gesture of our appreciation for your business and patience, a $5 discount will be automatically applied to the next order placed before January 20, 2026 from your Yoyosh account on COMC.com.

I too received this email. I recently placed an order for 3 cards so that I would be ahead of the presumed Black Friday shipping slowdown. No such luck!

If I wasn't planning to place a Black Friday order, I would ask for a shipping refund instead of the $5 discount on another shipment...which will contribute more to their shipping backlog

I thought that paying $20 for a shipment of 80 some cards would mean I was getting the cards to me much quicker. And I guess technically that is true as instead of 3 months it is probably going to be about 90 days. But man if you are still going to be slow then it shouldn't be this much

Do you...work for COMC?

Anyone else still waiting for their cards to process from the "free" graded promo? I sent in 3 nicer cards. The cheapest one processed a couple weeks ago. The bigger ones now pushed back AGAIN, to 11/18. Original date was 8/27. This is unacceptable!

Yeah, currently @ 73/80 and the last seven that I'm waiting on are the higher-end ones (I believe).

My new date is now 11/11.

I got the $5 off next shipment email too. My expected ship date keeps quietly moving back and back. Smh at how slowly the items ahead # is going down each day. Since yesterday that # has gone *up*. We’re not even in Black Friday shipping backlog, I wonder what in the world is causing a massive change in shipping demand. I thought with these new jacked up prices, there would be a lot less shipment requests.

It’s gotta be from the rushed/ebay shipments and the utter priority COMC assigns to them.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's all the eBay auctions. The amount of ending auctions per night is up about 20%-30%+. Thursday nights used to be 8-11 pages(of 240) max. Last night it was 15~ pages. It's been the same all week(Monday-Sunday), since the free eBay listings started. I used to look through their auctions in the morning...like reading a newspaper while the kiddo gets ready for school...I stopped once I saw just how many more auctions they are running(and the amount of auctions that are trash $0.99 cent cards).

2008 Ginter #249 is Serena. They probably just mis-keyed the year. Did you submit any 2008s?

Not sure but between not responding to my emails, identifying women as men, raising prices and just the general lack of courtesy towards customers of 10+ years I may check out other options for selling cards. Pass that along please.

Misidentification of cards has been really bad recently. Even had one for weeks, maybe months that is misidentified and they won’t change it.

This is a new one for me…..placed an order for 1500 purchased cards to be shipped to me….payment goes thru, no problem…..then I log in a couple of hours later and all the cards are back in my port stating that “they need attention “ The money for shipping was credited back to me but wtf?

I requested some Grandeur gold coins be shipped home about a month ago. It took about 2 weeks for them to ship the coins despite paying $40 for them. A day after they ship I get an email saying "2016-17 Upper Deck Grandeur Coins Gold #3 Sidney Crosby" is not ready for shipment at this time.

This has been on my Upper Deck ePack account for years so I'm not sure how it is not ready to ship with the other coins I requested?

I have tried to get an update on it for a couple of weeks now with no reply back. If it was something of lesser value I wouldn't care as much, but this coin is worth over $1000.

Maybe the BBB complaint will speed things along or get an update from them?

I've never had to do this before, but I have given the representative weeks to reply back and he has not.

Finally got an update from COMC:

We do have an update to provide. We are unable to fulfill the coin, unfortunately. We apologize for this error. As well, I can understand any frustration with this inconvenience. To proceed, we would like for you to provide a figure you believe represents fair value for this item.

So they are misplacing gold coins? It makes no sense. Not sure how they could lose physical gold. Plus, Crosby is one of the few hockey players I collect. I was excited about this coin but it seems they lost it or gave it to someone else?

No idea what to ask for value. Really upset at COMC right now.

One of the most ridiculous things I've heard of them doing.

I already replied to your last comment about value, but I'll say it again... I wouldn't take a penny less than $1,500 as there are none up for sale. With that said, gold prices were around $2,664 the last time a Crosby sold for $900. Gold prices today are $4,113. By that math, you are owed $1,390~. I'd still argue for $1,500 if it was me, if not more, because of the ridiculousness of the situation.

Update! I sent messages to their new support they mentioned in the email and got multiple responses within the hour. My submission is now complete! Thank God!!

I think I may ask for a bit more and see what they reply with. I appreciate your insight and I apologize for not seeing your previous comment.

I really just want the coin that was in my collection.

Any ideas how they misplace a gold coin? I have a lot of higher end Marvel cards on ePack that I'm considering sending home after this just in case they lose those over time as well

I wonder how COMC will compensate me for the coin? I definitely don't want credit after this situation.

I'm with you on asking for more... I think on my original reply I said I wouldn't take less than $1,500 but I'd also try and get $1,800-$2k...

I'm not sure how they'll compensate you, but I'd push for a PayPal deposit, like you'd get if you cashed out. If you did get $1,500 and it was sent the same way they send cash outs...It would be like getting $1,667~ COMC credit/$1,745~ on eBay.

Good luck! Sure hope you get more, again...just based on the ridiculousness of them losing an actual gold coin

[mjohnatgt]

Possible options:
1) Stolen by employee
2) Accidentally sent to the redeemer of a silver coin since humans make mistakes.
3) Misplaced by accident when they were relocated in the warehouse or when they moved warehouses.

Now that COMC knows 1 is missing, they should inventory all their other gold coins in their possession to see whether or not other ones grew legs and walked away. If they did, they need to be proactive in contacting the owners of other items that may have also been lost/stolen at the same time.

Found out what happened…..out of the 1500 cards, there was one I bought that the seller was able to convince COMC to cancel because the price (set by the seller) was too low. Apparently the timing of all of this was coincidental and just one of those COMC quirks we have all come to enjoy and love.
