A sticker. You'll get a sticker when you ship your expensive cards home! Lucky duck. I have like 200 of them...it's like WHY, WHY do you keep sending them to me?

You got to PSA grade those stickers. Worth more in PSA holder!


I couldn't help myself . Stupid AI garbage.

I really wish they’d quit pushing back my delivery date.

They’ve literally reduced the number ahead of me by TWENTY FOUR cards in the last three days. These guys need to get their $h!T together.

Congrats to the cash winner and to everyone getting some good deals. Last few pages looks like more happy people then I had feared.

To finish out, I guess Monday was ok for me, too. Ended up buying 6 cards, which is just 2 less than the entire BF-week.
I too focused on some of the higher priced items on my list. An extra 5 or 10% doesn´t really do much in the $2-5 range, when the base price is too high to begin with.
Ended up buying a few very low #d parallels of pc players right away that were discounted to the $15 to 20 range and added a few future HOFer autos to end the day.
No steals but fair market value I guess. I´ll take it.

Can´t help but think though it could have been better. I remember sales where at the end about 25% of my watchlist was gone. Now it´s merely 1%.

I wonder if it´s part of the problem, where some ports have such a wide variety of price ranges that sellers only base their % off of the few $200+ cards they have.
Instead of customizing the % or marking those nfs for the duration to not undersell they run 10% off across the board which leaves 99% of their other inventory basically immovable.

I came here to post the same. What's the point of having an estimated ship date if they change the date daily? I payed over $17 bucks to ship 27 cards, what's the deal, do better.

Service: Standard
Shipping: $17.49
Tracking: Not Shipped Yet
Date Requested: 11/7/2025
Estimated Ship Date: 12/17/2025
Items Ahead of My Order: 143,948

Yep my Standard was pushed back to sometime in January….was like mid Dec I think. Comc basically just falls apart when anything is going on like Black Friday or a promotion. Remember when they rolled out Standard shipping they advertised it as new, quicker shipment times? Hah!

You basically *have* to do rushed shipping to get any kind of decent shipping time, for the silly upcharge (on an already high shipping cost). But then when people do that our Standards get pushed back even more since COMC gives any and all precedence to rushed.

I think COMCs constant issues with shipping backlogs- of getting your cards in a reasonably timely manner-as well as the costs involved for shipping could be one of the worst aspects of the company, for me at least. If they are going to improve anything…that would be the area I would focus on.

I always think it’s fun when an older inventory item randomly sells. I was scrolling through my Black Friday sales history and this sale of a “flip” that I first listed in September 2016 popped up. Anyone have a recent sale of an older COMC inventory item that beats this one?

You mean people don't want the AI purchasing random cards on their behalf slop instead of improved shipping times?

This is not only going to be a "no", but a "hell no!". I should be happy to see this by January...of 2027... My other 2 orders I have requested since then...2028?

Makes me wonder if part of their rationale (if they have any) for the delayed shipping times is that they are not making any more money on the cards that have been requested to ship out. After all, a penny a month on the majority of the cards really adds up...

[f2tornado]

I went back through my watch list after the sale and found some stuff that I either overlooked or was marked down after the fact.

Now the debate to ship now or later and for $25 or expedited at $45. I have enough stuff in there to justify the extra $20. Sounds like I should spend the extra $20 per above comments.

Especially with the Black Friday residual backlogs going on, there will probably be a pretty massive difference between ship times on that. Their estimation dates for Standard are not to be trusted at this point. Rushed can still be pretty much trusted (or at least close), because they put any and all precedence on it.

Is there a way I can mass select items to move to auction?

Or do I have to do it 1-by-1?

[sammyjankis]

I submitted a ~$6-800 card that has a scuff on the surface as elite processing. I noticed they didn’t add a condition note, so I submitted a correction request asking them to add one. Would hate to sell it and get a huge return months later because COMC didn’t adequately describe condition.

How long does it take for them to circle back on something like that? I want to sell it, but refuse to screw a potential buyer and/or be on the hook for the return.

They already responded to another correction request I submitted regarding card identification, but this one remains unanswered.

[finfangfan]

They are usually pretty quick with correction requests (within 1 business day) but I usually am only correcting card description (like when they initially identify wrong parallel). It could be your flagging the condition has to go to some special person to evaluate which may be why it is taking longer.

Yeah, their shipping is atrocious, do better.

Ya mine is a mess right now too. It seems as though my browser sucks too right now, so it might be a combination of both. I do not know.

I think this has always been the case. Still, I can’t understand how people sign up for standard shipping around 10 business days before the Black Friday sale and expect the shipment to arrive anywhere near the estimated date. Especially if they’ve used the platform before.
I’ve said it before, but you get what you pay for… and if you chose cheapest and slowest, don’t be surprised when you get cheapest and slowest.

Yep. It's slow, but thinking positively, people are buying a ton of stuff this year. It's the best card market I've ever seen. All else equal, the alternative is sluggish sales with near insta-ship.

I'm gonna pay the extra $20 for the quicker turnaround but probably wait a couple days so it doesn't ship before Christmas. Maybe I'll find a few more cards before then but then site is pretty picked over right now.

[DynaEtch]

Can’t sign in on desktop, site doesnt load it. Continue to be amazed how consistently bad functioning COMC’s website is. These arent blips…it’s been a continual issue for months, between the app and desktop. Somehow it is still this bad and uncorrected

Seconded.

They have a smaller (maybe entirely different) team that responds to condition change requests, I think. I've found it will typically take a few days.
