In theory, you could work with PWCC to grade a portion these cards and then sell them at auction in the U.S. There were several thousand Black Star Promos sold this way a few months back.
Tell me more please on this topic! Never heard of something similar. ![]()
The service includes PWCC-managed submissions and shipping, no value-based grading tiers, and the elimination of upfront fees.
All you need to do to access the service is start a new submission through PWCC, select the “Non-Authenticated (Raw) Trading Cards” option on Step 2 of the PWCC Submission form, and ship your raw cards off to PWCC.
No individual filling of cards, no forms to print out, no tiered pricing to worry about.
HOW IT WORKS
- Flat fee. Only $15 per card regardless of value, genre, or category. The program currently includes items up to 8" x 10" in size. The $15 fee includes shipping costs from PWCC to CSG/CGC and back to PWCC.
- PWCC Vault or PWCC market. You can store your cards in your PWCC Vault or have PWCC queue them for an upcoming Weekly Sunday Auction when they arrive. It’s that simple.
- No upfront costs. For cards stored in the PWCC Vault, fees will be invoiced after you submit your cards. For cards submitted to the Auction, PWCC will deduct the grading cost from the proceeds of your sales.
- 30 days. Raw, authenticated, archived, and on the market in 30 days.
- Auto grades included. Service includes manufacturer-issued autograph grades.
- Unlimited submissions. Submit unlimited cards. PWCC recommends you submit cards with at least a $50 value to ensure you maximize your profits. See “Grading Your Cards” below for more information.
- No paperwork. Forget the forms. PWCC will handle the entire process including card identification. You only need to follow the submission process on PWCC’s website and ship your cards.
You submit your raw cards once to PWCC, and we take it from there.
Priority grading and encapsulation service with no multiple packages to send out and track, no multiple shipping labels to manage, no lengthy submission forms to fill and print, and no worrying about turnaround times or insurance.
With PWCC and CSG/CGC you send your cards in, they get graded by experts, and they go either to your vault or up to auction at the leading trading card auction house.
It is now that easy to sell your raw cards.
SUBMITTING YOUR CARDS
Before you mail your cards, visit the PWCC Marketplace website. Click on the Submit button. Choose whether the card is in your possession or if it’s coming from a third party. Click the “Non-Authenticated (Raw) Trading Cards” option. Complete the form.
MAILING YOUR CARDS
Pack your cards securely and ship them to your Vault address at PWCC Marketplace. Make sure to note your tracking number and add it to the submission page (this helps accurately time shipments to make sure your cards arrive as soon as possible). That’s it!
GRADING YOUR CARDS
Once we receive your cards our Asset Experts review them to make sure all cards will meet the fee requirement after they’ve been graded. We want to ensure that no clients have to pay an additional fee if their submission fails to sell above grading price. If we identify cards that will likely miss this requirement, we’ll ship the cards back to you.
After we’ve analyzed the cards, we ship the package to the authenticator. When the cards are returned to PWCC, they are added to your PWCC Vault or to the Weekly Auction Builder as indicated in the order. The Weekly Auction Builder curates assets so all PWCC auctions are balanced and don’t have many duplicates - this process could take up to three weeks for cards to reach auction.
AFTER YOUR CARDS SELL
If you sent your cards direct to auction then we’ll deduct the grading fee from the sales price once your cards sell. We then deposit the remainder of the funds into your PWCC Marketplace account.
If you choose to vault your cards then you will be invoiced for the cost of grading.
this is so sick!
Really neat to see! It’s interesting that how the cards were packaged was just left up to whoever was doing the packing. I would have thought they’d be wrapped up in clear plastic bricks like I think I’ve seen for other old promos.
when I received mine they were packaged in sealed 50’s promo or 8 cards for winner stamped cards.
we received cards depending on how many players we had in our gym.
Thanks for your information. I’ve got newer WOTC promo’s 3x, 4x sealed in 25 packs for instance. Clear foil wrapper.
