*Daily pack break will take place 5 minutes before the next scheduled event.  To redeem your processing prize, write “TMC Winner” on your submission form and we will apply store credit towards it.  Your submission must be postmarked by July 30, 2021.   Unused processing store credit prizes will be forfeited.  The six-store credit draw winners will be announced on our blog and awarded funds by June 30, 2021.

Virtual Dice Game

A COMC member will roll three dice on the account holder’s behalf for a chance to win prizes. Winners will be drawn the week of June 27th and will be announced on our Blog page. To claim your prize, email sportcardexpo@comc.com by July 31st and we’ll add the card to your account within two weeks. 

Limit one roll per account per day. Limit one prize per account. As a bonus, if your roll turns up three of the same value (1-1-1, 2-2-2, etc) you win an instant prize to be mailed to your residence. Various styles and sizes of t-shirts available while supplies last.

COMC Challenge V2

Stop by our booth and watch the fun and competition!  If you are a contestant, invite your family and friends to cheer you on!

The Challenge is a game show-style competition with 8 contestants guessing the card number of the card we hold up for viewing.  First correct guess scores 1 pt.  Use any available tools to guess the correct answer.  Only one guess per contestant per card.  This process is repeated for 10 minutes.  Every 5th card is the “money ball” where the first correct guess scores two points. The highest score after 10 minutes is the winner of a $25.00 store credit. All other participants will receive $5.00 store credit. You must have a COMC account and must be in the booth and share your video to participate.  Not sharing video may be subject to starting at a deficit.  You must be present 10 minutes before the contest begins. You can participate only once in the qualifying round.

Contestant registration is first-come, first-serve by emailing your selected time slots in order of preference to sportcardexpo@comc.com.  We will send an email confirming you are registered, and we will update the blog when all spots are filled.

Include the following in your email: 

A) Your COMC account.  (For kids, it will be a parent’s or designates account)

B) Specify a choice of day and time, but it is preferred that you mention you are “OPEN” as spots may fill up fast and it’s easier for us just to assign you to an open slot.

Kids Edition:  Participants must be 12 years old and under and will receive an instant prize as well.  Winners will not participate in the playoffs.

Employee Invitational:  Some fun for staff members on their off time.  Top performers will participate in their own finals tournament.

We will also accept standbys in case registrants do not show up on time or they are unable to participate.  Let us know 15 minutes before the start of the next contest.

Second Place, Second Chance: With 6 daily winners and 8 playoff spots, there are two spots available for the top second-place winners to also compete in the playoffs.  Check back after 1:30pm Challenge Round to see if you qualify.  

Tournament of Champions Playoff:  The 6 daily winners plus the top second-place finishers compete for 4 spots in the finals.  In the event of a tie, sudden death will determine the finalists.  There is one 1st place prize of $50 store credit in the playoff round.

Tournament of Champions Finals:  The top 4 from Saturday and the top 4 from Sunday compete in the finals.  There will be 2 rounds of 8 minutes.  The second round will have 2 points awarded for a correct guess with 1 additional point on the money ball.  1st Place – $100 store credit; 2nd place – $50 store credit; 3rd place – $25 store credit.  In the event of ties for store credit prizes, sudden death will determine the winners.

Free Daily Box Breaks

We will be offering random team breaks to any COMC account holders who would like to participate.  Instead of first come, first, serve, we will draw entrants to represent the number of teams in that league.  Winners of the breaks will receive only the “hits” (inserts and rookie year cards, but no veteran base or commons) and must be at the booth to “pick up” their prize(s).   Winner cards will be processed into associated accounts within 3 weeks.

To improve efficiency, you can email sportcardexpo@comc.com your name, COMC username for both physical box breaks before the event begins, but you still will be required to acknowledge that you are at the booth daily.  We can then check off your name instead of recording all the details from scratch.

You can register for both box breaks each day but can only participate in one.  By default, if you were assigned a team in the first break, win or lose, your entry in the second break will be nullified.  Multi-team cards will be randomized among the teams involved.  Cards with no affiliated team assigned will be randomized among all participants.  Cards affiliated with a team that was relocated belong to the current franchise. For example, the Winnipeg Jets up to April 1996 belong to the Arizona Coyotes.

Free Upper Deck e-Pack Daily Box Breaks 

Same as above, but you must have an Upper Deck e-Pack account.  You can register for a free account here.  https://www.upperdeckepack.com/Registration  

You can email sportcardexpo@comc.com your name, e-Pack username for both e-Pack box breaks before the event begins, but you still will be required to acknowledge that you are at the booth daily.  We can then check off your name instead of recording all the details from scratch.

Winners must be at the booth to acknowledge and “pick up” their prize(s).  Winners will then have one week up to June 27th, 2021, to initiate a trade with our e-Pack account to facilitate a transfer of their prize.

COMC Company Update – June 2021

From the very beginning, I have been fortunate to be a part of COMC’s growth and continued efforts to optimize your joy in the hobby. Today, I have an important message to address many of the concerns raised over the past few months regarding our current shipping experience.  

In most of our history, COMC has been known for reliable shipping and customer service.  Starting with the launch of our support for eBay auctions, which carried into the global pandemic of 2020, and combined with the tremendous growth of our industry, our ship times have lagged significantly. The most critical factors impacting our ability to fulfill shipment requests have been adapting our processes to operate in the pandemic, a labor shortage as a result of the pandemic, and running out of warehouse space. We are collectors here at COMC and genuinely feel the frustration that shipping delays have caused.

For full transparency, in March 2020, we shipped over 25K packages with an average ship time of under 3 days. While our capacity has steadily increased over the months, our average ship time has gotten worse due to transitioning and onboarding at the new location.  For perspective, in May 2021 we broke a COMC record by shipping over 45K packages; and while this is great news, we are working to get our shipments out in a more consistent and reliable time frame. Rest assured that we have a plan and are committed to getting there.

In the last 3 months we moved our entire packaging department to our new facility where we installed new warehouse automation, and we have improved our recruiting, onboarding, and training. COMC is focused on continued shipping improvements and we thank you for your patience and understanding as we adjust to our new location, team, and equipment. 

Additionally, in response to the situation: 

  • We are currently hiring 5-10 new team members per week with the goal of growing the company to 400 employees by the end of 2021.

  • Every outgoing card is now individually barcoded, which is a tangible, new improvement to ensure accuracy.

  • We have increased our Customer Service support with 10 new hires since February 1, 2021.

  • We have created several new support roles on-site dedicated to expediting orders.

COMC takes the delivery of your valued assets seriously and will continue to prioritize improvements to reduce shipping turnaround times. Company-wide, from top to bottom, our teams are working around the clock to resolve overdue orders.  We truly regret any inconvenience our delays have caused you. 

On a personal note, Tim Getsch (COMC CEO & Founder) and I are on the ground at our new location, working closely with the team to ensure our success. I am committing to reporting the improvements COMC is making every month as the trading card industry continues to grow and evolve. I look forward to sharing these regular updates about how COMC is providing quality and integrity in the delivery of your collectibles. 

Thank you,

Julia Getsch

– COMC President and Cofounder
