My personal experience was they were sort of hard to get a response from. However, that being said, I trusted their reputation and they did not disappoint. GM did a very nice job with the thousands of 50s, 60s and early 70s commons that my dad and I consigned to them. Over 90% of the cards sold and I would have lost my mind trying to list, sell and ship them one by one. Overall, a positive experience.

Greg's cards get premium over most raw cards on ebay, but what I do not like about his service is they are very picky on consignments.
I had contacted them before to consign thousands of cards all in gradeable shape ranging from $1.00 to $1,000+ and they told me they cannot accept 90% of my set break cards because they only want to sell the hall of famers or the vintage that is over a certain average price/grade. They had no interest in the set breaks that would be close to the opening bid for common cards and they basically told me to send in the cream of the crop only. I did not understand why they ask for set breaks, but then were only interested in key hall of famer cards and not the commons from the entire set. I would have felt differently if they had never sold these $1.00 cards before, but I've looked up many of the ones they signaled that they cannot sell and they have sold them before for other consignors so I am passing altogether. I would have sent him quite a lot so I was disappointed in the questionable sales response... Last edited by murphy8276; 06-08-2020 at 01:19 AM. |

That is odd. I am not interested in sending only cream of the crop. ALL sellers will take cream of the crop!! Shoot, you can sell cream of the crop yourself and do rather well. I too, am baffled by your experience, as I was under the impression set breaks was what they did.

You shouldn't be baffled. They have manpower costs to worry about; people don't work for free. Barely break even on $1 commons, so why do it?
If you really want to sell those one-by-one, mail them to COMC and pay 50 cents each (new charge for listing pre-1980 and oddball cards) for them to scan them in. Then you can price them whatever you like and wait years for them to sell. But at least they're out of your house, with a chance to make you a profit down the line.

Seems like they might have done you a favor.
I believe some consignors charge $2.50 flat fee for any card that sells under $10. So you'd literally be writing them check to sell them.

I am pretty sure that is it....I don't think people realize how much work it is to break up a 700 card set...one by one.

They want to sell it lots, but of course they have no lots currently listed and some cards labeled as LOW GRADE crease. If anyone knows of another consignor that does set breaks, let me know.

So much work to sell individual raw cards, scanning, listing, shipping. If you have the tine, try it yourself, some dont have that luxury, remember I think ebay/payal fees.end up being about 12% anyhow.
They do seem to have a following for high grade raw cards. I recently sent them a psa 8 oc card, which they grade as ex to ex-mt, they are clearly conservative in their grading. I will report back to this thread if any cards receive the outlandish bids I'm hoping for.

I too have to chalk the whole thing up to them being swamped and severely understaffed, but being turned down like that after being approved was unbelievable. |

What are his consignment rates now? I know it’s a sliding scale but if I remember right it was averaging north of 30%.

30%??? Holy guacamole!!! I think I would keep the set together and pay 10% or so.

Pricey, but I don't know another seller that consistently gets the prices on singles that he does. Plus it is labor intensive to do small listings.
