On August 1st 2012, we began transitioning from CheckOutMyCards.com to COMC.com and running dual sites in parallel. It has been eight years since we began offering our unique service with CheckOutMyCards.com, and it is with deep pride and a certain degree of sadness that we announce that, as of July 1st, 2013, the old site has been officially shut down and retired, and we will be fully committing to the new site and brand COMC.com.
It has been a tremendous journey that has brought together a team of over 50 unique Team members, close to 3000 sellers, and well over 50,000 buyers! As a tribute to where we have been as a company, we want to take a moment and relive a few of the crowning moments during the company’s time as CheckOutMyCards.com.

As we gaze across the path that brought us here, it feels right to also see where we stand in the present. CheckOutMyCards laid the groundwork for everything that COMC has become and the switch to COMC has provided us with new tools and options that weren’t possible before. A short list would include:
Memories, like candles, light the pathway to the future. Or something corny like that.
Yesterday, the team at COMC allowed CheckOutMyCards.com to finally retire. We would love to hear about your personal experiences with the old site and where we have been. Please feel free to use the Comments box below to fill us in, and help us celebrate the next step into COMC.com’s future. We’re still expanding the new site experience and we know our users always have a lot of great suggestions for changes and features. Keep letting us know what you’d like to see and we’ll keep listening and improving.

CheckOutMyCards laid the groundwork for everything that COMC has become and the switch to COMC has provided us with new tools and options that weren’t possible before. A short list would include:
- Being able to filter search results
- The Promotions Feature including the now frequently used Partial Port sale function
- The Beckett Grading Service integration
- The ability to expand into new collectibles such as comics and many yet to come.
