When I see something like that, I usually buy the item so that someone else can't, then send a correction request informing them of the error and offering to let them reverse the transaction after they fix the error.

Seems that has yet to have happened.

If anything, I'm having more and more issues using their crappy "2FA".

So is the ID process now automated? I just saw this in my inventory manager. Three cards ID'd consecutively, all three cards are different, and yet all three ID'd as being the same. I've noticed this being worse the past few/several months.

This is copper, red, and base.

To be fair those look identical for somebody that doesn't know that set

To be fair, this is what they do. There should be some level of skill, knowledge, expertise, and... observation?

I'm annoyed that a lot of the times when I submit correction requests they routinely get ignored

As somebody who has used COMC on and off since 2009, I wanna say they're getting too big for their own good

[MavsRChamps]

Question I have of what cards typically sell the best on COMC - in other words within say 6 months - year & won't sit forever. For purposes assume all cards are theoretically worth $2.50 each (when compared to sold comps of similar cards)

1. Mid-end base card of star player
2. Low Serial #ed (/25, /50) of minor star / common
3. Common Autograph card
4. Low-end Insert of Star

If the above is confusing, just share your strategy in determining what cards MAKE SENSE to send to COMC in the $2-$10 range. Unless you send all your cards in this range?

I'm in process of determining what cards I'll ship to COMC vs. Sell at card shows in my area vs. send to Ebay co-signer vs. potentially sell myself on Ebay or other means

Question I have of what cards typically sell the best on COMC - in other words within say 6 months - year & won't sit forever. For purposes assume all cards are theoretically worth $2.50 each (when compared to sold comps of similar cards)

1. Mid-end base card of star player
2. Low Serial #ed (/25, /50) of minor star / common
3. Common Autograph card
4. Low-end Insert of Star

It's a good idea to look at the 4-year sales history of the card on COMC, particularly the most recent quarter or so.

You didn't list base rookie card, but that would actually be the #1 category. Bear in mind, people often buy multiples of these.

Of the categories listed, I would say:

Super Star Player (Mid-End base card, then low end insert) - Michael Jordan / Patrick Mahomes / Ohtani level of star

Common Autograph Card

Star Player (ordinary stars)

Low Serial #d card

The autographs have a higher bottom however. You can list pretty much any autographed card in the $1-ish range and blow it out at any time. Base cards might not bottom out until you get below the cost to submit the card.

Low Serial number cards are hit and miss. They might sell quickly for good money, or they might languish in your account for years.

[checkoutmydeals]

A quick heuristic would be to multiply some volume number by some price number, and then favor items which are on the higher end. For example, last quarter's sales times the lowest COMC price, the lowest eBay asking price, or a recent eBay sale.

Thanks! Appreciate the advice. Gonna send cards to COMC in the coming months for sure.

Hi All,

I've been exclusively selling on Ebay, but I decided to give COMC a try. I sent in a batch of 250 cards and so far 89 have been processed. Of those 89, 42 were judged to be EX-NM.

I've been collecting cards for a long time and I'd like to think that I can roughly judge a card's condition. I didn't send in any cards that I thought would be downgraded below NM+. I still figured that I probably missed some out of the batch, but to have almost half of the cards that have been processed so far judged as EX-NM is pretty surprising.

None of the cards had any notes attached. I don't know what the person processing the cards saw that affected their judgment. Most of those 89 cards are from the same set and I really can't see discernible differences between the cards that were judged EX-NM and the ones that were considered to be NM+. I looked at cards from the same set that were already up on the site and again had difficulty figuring out why conditions were attached to certain cards and not others.

I requested that the conditions of the cards judged to be EX-NM be re-evaluated, which I was hoping would shed some light on the thought process involved. Instead, every request was denied and each one was timestamped between 2-4 seconds of the preceding request. So, it just looks like someone went down the list clicking "Request Denied" or whatever until they reached the end.

Have others had similar issues? Like I said, I didn't expect the entire batch to be perfect, but I at least expected some kind of transparency on the rationale used to reach decisions.

Thanks for reading.

Were they chrome cards? Sometimes the scratches are over-analyzed by their processing team. This does happen from time to time and submission to submission, but is inconsistent. Sometimes it gets fixed with error reports, sometimes it stays the way it is.

Sometimes, being alone in the EX to NM bucket is actually a positive, because for eBay purposes, you would be in a listing all by yourself rather than in one with 6 of the same card in a dropdown menu, and 40 that are on COMC but not cross-posted to eBay.

[Dragonman]

You got a lazy processor...and you do no want to be in the EX bucket. It is that simple.

What Dragonman just said. This happened to me once in 2020. I don't know how the system works, but it felt like they selected that condition for one card, and then left it on the whole time. Again, may not work like that. But it's like when you send in a batch to PSA and all your cards from a certain era, or brand, or stock all get the exact same grade as if the grader said this is a 9 and all the other cards look like this one, so 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9.

I had 3 big orders go missing and after waiting the 3 months and reaching out for help I did get fully refunded but I recieved this message

We will be refunding your for these three Lost in Mail Pitney Bowes orders.

This will be a one time courtesy and no further refunds will be issued for missing Pitney Bowes orders

I thought all missing orders were 100% covered ? These are not cheap orders and im ordering international. Ive had 19 successful orders and for some reason 3 went never even left america. Now it seems an upcoming order is going to come up lost since it hasnt had any updates in over a month.

Surely if I have another order lost they have to cover it ?

I've got a question about Auto Accepting Offers. I'm running a port sale and I would also like to set my auto accept offers to 50% off.
Does the auto accept apply to the port sale, as in, if someone offered me half my port asking price would the offer automatically be accepted? Or would it come through as an offer I could counter?

Hope that makes sense, thanks for any help

Any offer on your original cards or any grouping thereof, I believe, would be automatically accepted based on 50% off your original list price. If you had $6,000 in list prices and you set the port sale at $3000, and someone offered you $1500, it would not be automatically accepted, because the discount does not cascade. You would still get a port sale offer.

Thank you for this very detailed and understandable reply. I really appreciate it.

If I win auctions from Comc on eBay but do not pay with my Comc balance. If I pay other ways will the card transfer into my comc inventory? or would it ship to me?

[mjohnatgt]

If you don't pay with comc balance, they will mail them to your address in ebay.

[respectbasecard]

Notification system for when a card you want gets uploaded.

[Milz187]

I've sent my 1st bunch of cards into COMC. The ETA is 7/1/2025. Just wondering if they could process it sooner or is that the earliest i should exect it. Thanks

[mjohnatgt]

They will start trickling in starting in a few weeks, usually.

[lakesidez]

It's been years since I've sold on COMC, I have a lot of stars, inserts, rookie, prospect, parallels in the $0.25 - $8.00 range, are those worth sending into COMC? Or is there a range where it really does not make a lot of sense to do so? It's all newer stuff within the past couple of years and at the moment all sleeved.
