Anyone have experience shipping to eBay under Authenticity Guarantee?

I have a few higher priced cards I’m going to be listing and was wondering what the best practice is in terms of shipping. I’ve sold a lot of sneakers through the program and eBay sends a Fed-Ex label for those. My understanding with cards is that I will ship to the authenticator with whatever methodology I choose? These aren’t sky high cards but $500-$1500. I was going to offer free shipping but what method should I choose? I feel like I should use an overnight service, registered seems a bit much here, any thoughts. I want to be fully insured to the authenticator. I assume eBay picks up the final shipping.

How did I do from my single box of Turn Four?

Actually I know how I did but had to post anyway lol. I’m a big Turn Four fan but either I buy on the secondary market or in breaks. I happened to be at the computer when these dropped the other day and just went for a single box. I know the math and that I can get most of the cards I want for $10 - $15, I probably have 50 in my collection. Anyway just opened the box, actually filmed it for the first time as well, first came the Kurt Busch Hat Dance, I was like ok not a bad start. Then boom the Kvroom, I was like WTF. I had the box turned around and just pulled them one at a time for some drama. The Briscoe was cool, and then the Haley, who I actually like. Anyway that’s my absurd evening, I should probably walk over to the casino now :)

Am I the only one dissapointed with the new Turn Four release?

I was anxiously awaiting this release as I have a decent Turn Four collection. First I see it’s the Dutch Auction, oh well but it’’s what it is. But then reading the email it’s not a box of 4 encased cards any longer but just a single pack of cards, wtf. Although not the same quality, I felt like Turn Four was like a poor man’s Dynasty (F1) which I also collect. Anyway 4 cards in a pack is really not as interesting, def not at $400. I figured $150-$200 but I’m not sure I’d grab one at the bottom price. I was just curious as to everyone’s feelings as I think we were expecting an encased cards, 4 to a box and such, just 4 cards, subject to possible damage seems off the wall to me.

Can anyone recommend a shop or place to sell a Tigers team signed ball from the 1970’s.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a memorabilia store or a shop that would know about a team signed ball. This was given to me by my father who was a big fan, based on some of the names my guess is 1974 / 1975. It seems Al Kaline is the name that everybody recognizes. I’m a motorsports guy and I’m not trying to get max value out of it but also I don’t want to give it away. Of course I can post on eBay but I’ve been trying to see if I can find someone with some knowledge of the Tigers. I was at a card show the other day and someone suggested this sub and to look for a Detroit memorabilia shop, thanks!

Was wondering if anyone could answer a Mag Case question?

Can anyone recommend a mag case for a Top to Bottom booklet, I’m talking the auto on top and the patch on the bottom. I see some vertical mag cases online but they all appear made for vertical portraits that open side by side, I not only need it vertical but the image is technically horizontal if that makes sense. I can’t seem to find anything, thanks!

Question regarding hosting multiple domains

I have a business standard account, I also have 3 legacy accounts whose email I forward to this standard account and I work from a unified inbox. In addition, I have a few packet at Zoho and I also forward those emails over and use my one standard inbox. I have a new company that needs a few email addresses, yet I don’t feel the need for a new paid account, I really want to manage these emails through my one inbox.

Can anyone confirm that I can host these domains within my business standard account and just set up an email or two, I assume as an alias or not. I went through the process and it seems I can add them but I’m just wondering if it’s actually doable. I ran it through Gemini and it says I can host as many domains as I want. Was wondering if anyone can help, I’m just unsure of screwing things up with my main account.

Question about changing my user name.

I posted the other day and have decided to just change my user name to that of my new company, thus keeping my history and followers. I understand that I can’t change my name with pending orders, and this is where I’m wondering if there may be a work around of sots? I only buy, but I am an approved seller. The issue is at any given time I have 10 or so pending orders incoming. Do I need to just go cold turkey on the app for 2-3 weeks until I receive all my orders? Someone suggested I set up another account but I really don’t want to risk breaking any TOS. It’s not the end of the world but I buy from a particular breaker who is slow at shipping so it may be 2-3 weeks until my latest purchases close out, I was hoping to make this name change sooner, any thoughts?

Is their any market for diecast banks?

Hi, I’m new to car collecting, I’ve been enjoying this sub. I’m actually more or a Motorsport card guy, both F1 and NASCAR.

I picked up a few cars for fun, two matching which I really like, one of which is a bank. But I have two others, both Bill Elliot 94 McDonald’s cars, from what I assume is the 90’s. I have them sitting here, but turns out they are both banks, I’m thinking to myself, do I need 3 banks? I probably would have passed had I known they were banks but here they are. Granted they weren’t expensive or anything.

I don’t have a ton of room for display and I feel like I’d like to get a more modern car, or perhaps one of a driver that I pc. I was thinking of posting on eBay but I don’t see many bank cars selling. I didn’t even know these cars had bank options a few weeks ago, so I was curious as to if it makes sense to even try? I do like the way they look but was more curious as to bank cars in general, also are there any places other than eBay you buy and sell in, thanks!

Do I need a separate buyer / seller account?

I’m an active buyer on the platform in the card space. I have a decent amount of followers and the breakers I favorite know me by my handle. I’m also an approved seller but I have never posted a card for sale. I decided to start a more formal business with branding and such. My question is, should I just change my WN name, which is similar to the new company, or set up a fresh selling account? I get the need for separate accounts say on eBay but do I need one on WN? Thanks.

Anyone have a great experience using a consignor?

Hi, I want to start selling some cards, my collection has gotten a bit out of hand. I do have experience on eBay but not with cards, mostly sneakers, Hot Wheels, Supreme and other hype items. I have sold slabs but I’m just not comfortable selling raw singles. I may have to get comfortable, but thought I’d ask if anyone has used one of the larger consignors on eBay? I’ve purchased from many of them but was focused on one or two. This was until I read the terms of service and it seems if a card doesn’t sell then they take ownership. I’m a gambler by nature but not sure I want to risk that for a little convenience.

Most of my raw is either in the $5-$20 or $50-$100 range. I think I’m going to grade my better cards, if anything for the experience. I was about to package up some raw but now I’m having second thoughts. My other option is to send to one of the larger breakers who do single shows, I know all these people and I was just wondering if anyone had a good experience with either an eBay consignor or sending raw to a breaker. I know this is a small community so it’s cool to DM and just share privately, thanks!

Is anyone here somewhat familiar with 2025 National Treasures?

I was wondering if anyone here was really familiar with 2025 NT? If so perhaps I can DM privately to ask a question? I was in a break and the assigned driver doesn’t appear to be in the product, I’m not going to do anything about it, but just for my own peace of mind I’m trying to understand it all. Yes, I’ve ran through the checklist, but the breaker was adamant that this driver was in the product, thanks!

Missing package, never scanned, do I just file with WN or message seller?

I have a package that’s coming up on week 2 with no drop off acceptance or in transit scan. I know the seller is legit, also high volume. I did message them, they responded super promptly and more or less said it was dropped off and it probably missed a scan, which is obvious to me as well.

I buy a lot on WN and sell on eBay so pretty familiar with USPS quirks. Having said that, I’m planning for a lost or missing package scenario, it’s not super expensive but enough in that I’m not going to let it go, around $50 or so and it was a break. My cards are probably valued around $25-$35 if that matters. Today is around the 15h day from the label being purchased but it was also over a weekend so I’m calling this day 12.

WN shows shipped but not in transit. I know I’m covered, but do I just file with WN n a week or two or go back to the seller, I don’t want to be a pest, I didn’t contact them until day 8. The response was nice and all but they didn’t offer to check on it or anything. I don’t know was just wondering what the best practice was for this. Keep in mind I’m 100% sure this isn’t a scam, my assumption is a volume seller who does bulk drop offs. But at some point I have to assume the package is gone without even a single scan say in 3 weeks from it being marked shipped, this will of course be next week.

Also do I wait until WN’s suggested contact date, which I assume is 14 business days? It’s going to be coming up on a month from purchase so I don’t want to miss my window. I kind of feel 3 weeks is enough time? Thanks.

Hey, I’m kind of new to NASCAR cards and was wondering if there are any reliable comp sources other than eBay? I’m somewhat deep into F1 cards and eBay is really the only reliable place for comps in F1, I’ve tried 130, card ladder and a few others but it seems like racing cards are a bit niche.

I’m not really a seller but I do like to make sure I’m not overpaying, especially on WN. Just thought I’d ask if anyone has thoughts on this. eBay is ok but I find it a bit clunky coming from like StockX for sneakers and such, thanks!

Hi, so I’m kinda of new to Nascar cards, but heavily into F1 and I know my way around Topps. I was curious with Panini is it similar that these releases sell out fast? I purchased a box yesterday when they released the 2026, I can see it shipping already. I happened to open the browser and I noticed it Sold Out, for some reason I thought these would hang around? Just wondering if NASCAR is like F1 in that they sell out at release then it becomes a secondary market type deal? I’ve noticed on som of the distributor sites they have inventory and some is below retail, just. A bit confused. I ordered a few blasters earlier in the month and they were below retail, these were 2025. Ok thanks just curious about it all!
