Welcome to COMC where you have the flexibility of selling your valuable items on the COMC marketplace or transferring them to an eBay auction. COMC’s suite of consignment services is centered around 4 main service levels: Standard, Select, Elite, and eBay Auctions. Understanding the advantages of each service and its features will help you decide how to get the most out of COMC.
No matter which consignment service you choose, every item you send to COMC includes actual images (front and back), catalog identification, and 90 days of free storage. A full list of the advantages of consigning with COMC can be found on the COMC Selling Page.
*Note: COMC does NOT accept packages sent to USPS Smart Lockers. Please ensure all packages are sent directly to our designated address to avoid any delays or complications with your shipment.
COMC Consignment: Elite, Select, and Standard
Standard and Select services are the two most economical ways to submit cards for consignment. These services are designed for submitting cards in bulk. These services include front and back images of your actual cards but are of lower resolution than our Elite Service photos.
Cards submitted with Standard and Select have a maximum list price on COMC of $100. For cards valued at
over $50, we recommend our Elite Service.
| Service | Turnaround | Raw | Graded | Oversized | Min. Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elite | 2 Weeks | $2.00/ Item | $2.50/ Item | $5.00/ Item | N/A |
| Select | 4 Weeks | $1.00/ Item | $1.50/ Item | $4.00/ Item | $3.00 |

*Per card removal: toploader, card saver, one touch. No fee for penny sleeves.
** Larger than 2 1/2″ × 3 1/2″ (modern) or 2 5/8″ × 3 3/4″ (vintage). Tallboy cards are considered oversized. For extra thick or heavy cards, booklet cards, or circular items (discs and coins), the Oversized Cards additional fee may be applied at our discretion.
*** Third-party grading and cards encased with a manufacturer seal. Oversized graded/encased cards: only charged the Oversized Card fee.
**** At our discretion, we may upgrade Standard and Select cards valued above $100 to Elite for an additional $2 per item.
All incoming Standard, Select and Elite submissions have guaranteed turnaround times. These times are calculated via business days (M-F), not calendar days, weekends, or holidays. Standard submissions that miss their guaranteed due date automatically have a 20% discount applied to late items. For Select and Elite items, the automatically applied missed due date discount is 50%.
What This Means For You:
- Elite remains 2 weeks at the same price – great for cards you want live quickly
- Select now has a 4-week turnaround – a dependable middle-ground option
- Standard remains 16 weeks with a small price adjustment, and a higher minimum of 100 cards – best for larger batches
- All packages will now be opened immediately when they arrive at COMC
Other Submission Options
- Direct-to-Grading: No changes, this will remain exactly the same as it’s been.
- Mailbox: No changes, still 2 weeks.
COMC Elite Service
COMC Elite is the ideal choice for listing cards valued at over $100 and includes industry-leading, high-resolution photos. Elite gives you several options for selling your cards: COMC Fixed Price, Take Offers on COMC or transferring items to an eBay Auction. In short, Elite offers the most flexibility of any COMC service. A full list of the seller advantages included with Elite can be found on the COMC Elite Page.

COMC Seller Fees Overview
Please ensure your account is funded with sufficient store credit to pay for the processing fees of the batch at the time of submission. Processing fees are charged when any item from your batch is ready to be added to your inventory. If the total processing fees charged for a given deposit would reduce your available store credit balance to less than $0.00, the items scheduled to be added to your account will instead be placed on hold.
Once your account is funded to return it to good standing, your items on hold will be added to your account within a couple hours. At the end of each day, if your account has any pending transactions and is not in good standing, the due dates on all of your pending submissions will be postponed one business day.

- Fixed-Price Transaction Fee: 5% of the sale price
