Consignment Selling
Quick Specifications
Selling cards through a third-party consignor who lists, ships, and handles payment for a commission — typically 5-20% depending on card value and service level. Consignment makes sense for high-value cards where professional listing photos, authentication, and buyer trust add more than the fee.
Condition & Grading Challenges
Standard Condition Check: Inspect all four corners under 10x magnification. Ensure surface is free of wax stains and gum residue (vintage) or print lines (modern).
Investment Profile
General Market: Tracks with the broader sports card index (SCI-500).
