    COMC who is it pushing this company?

    I will ask this simply to know, not casting any judgement. Did you know about this BEFORE you ordered? (EDIT: I didn't read the comments and see that you were not aware of the issues when you ordered). If so, why would you have still ordered from them? This is the biggest problem when a...

    The State of The Hobby

    I learned this after the 1990s insert craze. I was pretty much done by 99 or 2000. Back then, I was maybe spending $60-80 on a box, which typically still had 24-36 packs. I am guessing a bit, because even then I was buying fewer boxes than say 1994-95. I would chase the stars and inserts...

    COMC! Let see if their shipping has improved or still the same old 50 Plus days!

    I just saw a post where two guys have been waiting over 6 MONTHS for their COMC site shipments. One was requested 11/30 and the other was right around Dec 10. I suggested that COMC should pay their shipping team unlimited OT to anyone who is willing to work until they catch up. Sure, it will...

    90's Insert/insert-like cards- Are these still popular with collectors?

    Those action shots are great, because most of the set are not similar. There is maybe 10-15% with great photos. even better when it is a star. The 74 Tarkenton is exceptional to me.

    COMC! Let see if their shipping has improved or still the same old 50 Plus days!

    Unfortunately, that is part of the problem that has allowed them to get to where we are. People are OK waiting 4 MONTHS for an order to ship and just keep feeding their bottom line. In what other business, unless you are having something grown or built from scratch, does it take that F'ing...

    90's Insert/insert-like cards- Are these still popular with collectors?

    There are fans of the subsets you are showing and similar subjects (Franchise, Dream Team, Diamond Kings, Rookie Prospects, World Series, All-Stars, etc. Like any basic card, it's not typically going to be in high demand once the set is issued and everyone has had a chance to pick them up. I...

    COMC! Let see if their shipping has improved or still the same old 50 Plus days!

    They are not meeting ebay expectations in the shipping department by any means. Look at all the negatives they have been getting. Still, at their volume, 1000 negatives will barely make a dent.

    Well folks, it's only fair to advise that I finally got my package yesterday.

    COMC! Let see if their shipping has improved or still the same old 50 Plus days!

    With COMC? Let us know this Christmas how they look, when you finally get them! Here is mine from 12/3, still not shipped. Over 1 month past due from their estimated ship date. If i recall the 1 time they responded to a message, 4/13 was the new estimated ship date. I guess I will see soon...

    One of my White Whales just showed up on ebay!

    Sorry to see you lost, but that went high. That is the set you have been trying to complete, right?

    COMC! Let see if their shipping has improved or still the same old 50 Plus days!

    Part of this can probably be attributed to Covid, at least early on. I know they basically had to shut down physical operations for a while. However, I suppose shipments could have still come in to a location that allowed them to continue to scan and list cards...just actually shipping them...

    COMC! Let see if their shipping has improved or still the same old 50 Plus days!

    Just for fun, I started a shipping request for the 3 cards I now have in my port. I am not adding $5 to pay for it and they have continued to ignore my requests to combine them with the overdue shipment that clearly still is in their possession. It would be incredibly simple to grant me this...

    COMC! Let see if their shipping has improved or still the same old 50 Plus days!

    Still waiting for my order from right after Black Friday. Requested 12/3, estimated to ship 3/9. Today is 3/25, still not shipped. Emailed them and they gave me a new "estimate" of 4/13, but still not reflected on their site. Ignoring subsequent emails. One positive is they refunded me the...

    What Should I Pay?

    A random price would nicely match that random description. How about $8.07? You can't possibly expect someone to give you solid advice on a price without knowing what they are pricing, do you? 50 year gap in the years mentioned, but for all we know, there is 1 1950 Bowman card and the rest...

    I'll share something that doesn't require much thought.

    Experiment in customer service and thinking/working outside the box. We'll see how this goes. I am still waiting for my portfolio ship date (est 3/9) after requesting on 12/3/20. I was introduced to an Archives card on another site that I really liked and decided I wanted one and put it on...

    I'll share something that doesn't require much thought.

    It's helpful for people to know what they are dealing with, much the same way you knocked ebay and their fees. And like good publicity and word of mouth can be helpful, so can bad publicity and word of mouth be harmful to those people/companies, but also helpful to potential customers too...

    I'll share something that doesn't require much thought.

    I have always been a fan of COMC and was a fairly steady customer for almost 10 years. They were local, which doesn't matter a whole lot since they never offered a local pick up option, but just made it seem that much better. HOWEVER...The 3 month wait for my last order to ship (I'm still...
