The Complete Guide to Sports Card Consignment
Sports card consignment is the fastest way to turn a graded collection into cash without learning eBay, fighting chargebacks, or shipping a single card yourself. You ship your cards once, a professional consignor lists and sells them through their established buyer network, and you collect a check. BlackJadedWolf has been consigning PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded sports cards and TCG cards since 2009.
Why Consign Instead of Selling Yourself?
- Buyer reach. Our eBay store, marketplace, and private buyer network attract serious bidders that drive prices above retail. A first-time eBay seller typically realizes 15-30% less than an established consignor.
- Zero work. We photograph, write listings, answer questions, ship insured, and handle every return — you do nothing after dropping the cards off.
- No fee stacking. Selling on eBay yourself costs ~13% in final-value fees plus PayPal/processor cuts plus packaging. Our consignment fee already includes all marketplace and processing costs.
- Higher payouts at scale. Big-ticket cards ($5,000+) earn a 92% payout — the highest tier in the industry.
Sports Card Consignment Rates
Our payout scales with the final sale price so big hits earn more:
- $0.99 – $99.99 → you keep 80%
- $100 – $999.99 → you keep 85%
- $1,000 – $2,999.99 → you keep 88%
- $3,000 – $4,999.99 → you keep 90%
- $5,000+ → you keep 92%
Listing fees: $1 per auction item, $3 express auction (listed within 1 business day), $5 per Buy-It-Now, $3 per no-bid item. Fees are deducted from your payout — no upfront charge.
What Cards Can You Consign?
We accept all graded sports cards (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC), all graded Pokemon and TCG cards, and raw cards that grade out Near Mint or better. Modern rookies, autos, parallels, 1/1s, vintage Hall of Fame cards, and sealed wax are all welcome. Fixed-price (Buy-It-Now) listings require a $100 minimum value; below that, auction format gets the most active bidding.
How the Process Works
- Ship your cards with a photo or list of the cards you want to consign.
- Drop off or mail to our Sayville, NY location or PO Box.
- Review & intake happens within 2-5 business days. You get an itemized confirmation list.
- Listings go live on our eBay store and marketplace with professional photos and titles tuned for search.
- Cards sell, usually within the first 7-10 day cycle for graded cards.
- You get paid after the buyer's return window closes, with a detailed sales report.
Card Consignment vs Cash Offer
Need money this week? Ask us for a cash offer instead — we can quote raw or graded collections on the spot. Consignment usually nets more (typically 10-25% more on graded hits) but takes longer because we wait for the right buyer. Bring high-end pieces ($1,000+) and we'll show you both numbers side by side so you can choose.
