Congrats, I think I bought a card off you today.

If you pay for a booklet to be sent in a toploader, what kind of toploader are you going to end up with?

Did they add an option for that? I remember being charged $1 s/h and couldn't add on a toploaders so assumed it would come in one and it didn't have a sleeve let alone a toploader when it arrived.

Deadshot · 02-06-2018, 12:43 PM

I haven't looked yet, I just assumed there was an option. I bought a booklet this week but I'd like for it to arrive in one piece.

Usually come in those two piece 25 count holders.

How have processing times been going for y'all? My last batch due in late December was 5 weeks early and in time for all of the Thanksgiving related sales.

I have two lots of 500 each due 2/13 and 2/16 with almost all vintage. I was spoiled by the last Lot. I am anxious to get these new lots listed as there are all,of the tough cards for 68-72 set builders plus much more.

Swipe79 · 02-06-2018, 11:17 PM

The e-mail has been hit or miss this week. I get notifications right away on a few things, but get others (like processing) 12+ hours later.

ga5150 · 02-07-2018, 10:22 AM

I noticed last week that when I would visit the website, I would have multiple offers to respond to, but never received an email. Then, hours later (or even the next day), I would get a burst of emails with all at once indicating that offers were made. Even this morning, all of the emails for yesterdays offers were sitting in my inbox this morning, but I had responded to all offers yesterday afternoon.

It's almost like they were in daily digest mode when sending emails.

Strange, I'm not having any issues with emails. Though if I did, it wouldn't be the first time.

CCSportsCards · 02-07-2018, 11:15 AM

Just got hit with 2 (so far) incorrect paperwork charges.

I sent in three batches. They processed it in 5 batches. My numbers are definitely correct but they just split two of the batches in half and somehow that’s my fault... frustrating

We should get credit when they make an error on a listing of ours. Right?

Nah, you just have to waste your time to get it fixed.

I pivot tabled my COMC Charges and was happy to find that I have never been charged the paperwork fee.

I did find some interesting trivia on what I have spent in almost 10 years on COMC:

Listing Fees $4,790
Shipment Costs (Postage) $3,809
Storage Fees $1,344
Promotions $230
Classified Ads $115
2 Ports Purchased $453

Those are numbers most of us don't want to know

I don’t even want to think about my numbers.

I submitted a card with my last batch that came straight from topps with the sticker still covering the top of the toploader. COMC decided to open it up and I assume charge me a toploader removal fee. Is this what they usually do? I saw they had a fee for "Cards processed in One-touch cases, semi-rigid card savers, or toploaders due to thickness or value" and assumed they would do it here considering there was a $15 difference between the uncirculated and raw prices.

Is there something I'm missing? Was I supposed to indicate I wanted it left as is? I was assuming they'd figure it out considering it was the only card in a toploader in the entire submission.

They list some as encased, which I also disagree with. I think its safe to assume that they have no actual policy with these cards, and each employee does as they wish.

base set · 02-12-2018, 09:20 AM

So I am preparing a new shipment to COMC and am wondering if any of you have come up with any kind of break point for sending in a toploader / not-sending in a toploader.

On my first shipment I sent only certain cards in a toploader - cards with a few diff. color borders.

But on the bulk of the cards, I did not, and I was hit with a 20% rejection rate. I know what cards not to send, and how to send and package. I have read plenty here on how a lot of those cards will be accepted if I send them back in, yadda,yadda,yadda. It almost feels like grading to me - diff. employees at COMC will accept diff. cards, and diff. employees there, and/or their secret scanning machinery, quite likely create this problem, in my opinion. It is not a big deal on cards basically worth 75¢ - miscellaneous inserts and parallels. I never send in cards with more than a few copies, know players that will sell / not-sell, etc.

Is the 5¢ charge / card worth it in terms of probably having a 100% acceptance rate?

I want to get rid of cards, not send them in, have them sent back, send them in again, etc., etc.

I see a lot of these listed as "Uncirculated" lately when the Topps seal has not been broken. Seems like a good idea and a good way to put an easy consistent label on such cards. Letting diff. employees do diff. things doesn't sound like a very good way to run a railroad.
