    Beckett Digital Price Guides

    I recently finished my long running (maybe 8 years) subscription of Beckett Basketball Monthly magazines (physically ones). So I want to explore the digital version of the same magazines since they have a deal of $12 for one year. I am just wondering if anyone here has tried it before and may...

    Anyone shipped to and sold from COMC?

    I think the Australian Government operates under the attitude that if you choose to buy from sellers who don't play by their rules, you are creating an inconvenience for them, so it is your duty to pay for all expenses incurred by the tax collection process/workflow.

    Anyone shipped to and sold from COMC?

    Here are a few points to consider: Consider COMC as a mail forwarder so they do not collect any GST for our government, so what that means is if you do not ship parcels with a total declared value (contents + postage) of AUD$1000, you will not be charged any GST. In order to stay within this...

    Anyone shipped to and sold from COMC?

    These are the only options I was given for 36 cards: Not sure if the middle option is what they called Priority back then?

    Anyone shipped to and sold from COMC?

    Hi fellow COMC users, off topic here, but I am actually looking at sending cards home but noticed that they have removed the shipping option with tracking. The only options now are economy (untracked) or Express which is super expensive. So I thought by sending it domestically to ShipMyCards...

    Starting a PC

    @723 I am happy to share with you a number of tips on PC-ing a player. I have been collecting Shaq since the mid-90s, but have added side PCs over time, one of which is the collection of every South East Asian player who joins the NBA. So it is very similar to you starting a Josh Giddey PC this...

    Opened the NBA Card in 23 years!

    Depending on the condition of your cards, your Kobe Bryants will be worth quite a lot.

    COMC Mailbox Thread

    I think it was mentioned on the site that there are major delays on processing, as well as shipping. There is some lockdown happening in Washington state, they are progressing towards re-opening. I am waiting for the day when this COVID shit is over, so COMC can get back to normal operations. I...

    Once again, you are treating solely as a mail forwarding service.

    COMC Mailbox Thread

    COMC is very cheap when it comes to shipping because it is a flat rate of $5 USD worldwide and no limit to the number of cards from your inventory. If you stick to buying cards on COMC, then every card is basically free shipping after your first one. But if you want to use COMC as a a mail...

    2007-08 Ultra SE Mini Jersey vs Upper Deck Mini Jersey

    Hi everyone, I really want to know the difference between the Ultra and UD versions of the mini jerseys?? Both sets have the same checklist but they are listed as 2 different cards on Beckett and have different prices. It looks like this:

    COMC Mailbox Thread

    Looks like they have too many cards in their warehouse, so they are only interested in processing new cards to remain relevant. So I guess, people who are chasing older sets will have to go back to forums to complete their sets. Any new "old cards" on the site will most likely be super expensive...

    I remember a while back they had some mechanism to stop people from inflating the price of a card, but PM me for sure, I want to load up my account

    eBay is stupid

    I have a bit of a situation on eBay at the moment with my account restricted to only be able to be the highest bidder in one auction. This is because they concluded that I am a scum who committed to buy 3 items and did not pay for them. My story began with me adding 3 BIN items to my cart. The...

    But they do have only a free 90 days storage period while COMC is pretty much free forever if you are just stashing and not selling.

    COMC Mailbox Thread

    I read an email that was sent to me from COMC to explain the situation, they said 80% of packages they received are for mailboxes and they only make up 1.4% of their total intake. So what they are basically saying is that it costs too much to open packages if there's only a handful of cards. So...

    COMC Mailbox Thread

    I don't think the mailbox was originally intended for people consolidating overseas shipments. It just ended up being used like that because of price hikes by USPS. They wanted to funnel higher end cards into their system for flipping. While they cannot stop that practice, they can only...

    COMC Mailbox Thread

    It seems to me that this price increase is designed to shut down the whole mailbox operations. I believe they are struggling to make it worthwhile since it can be quite time consuming opening packages, removing the cards, scanning them, data entry to the system, filing them away in the...

    The seller has his/her rights to be an idiot and screw with you like that. I always put in an offer for the absolute lowest price accepted and I don't take any offence to rejected deals. I just think some people are not familiar with the concept of bargaining, they think there is one asking...

    The problem with COMC mailbox

    The credit stays once awarded, but the count does not roll over to the next month, so you need to go over 100 to get $5. If you shipped 99 last month, then ship one more this month, your count resets at the beginning of the month and you get no rewards.
