I'm a huge comc fan too!
Yeah but what really hurts is paying $3.66 for s/h for a card that books for only $1.50 lol.

RE: Anyone use the Beckett Marketplace?
I have purchased maybe 20 different cards from the marketplace. All cards arrived safe and in NM-MT condition so no complaints from me.

RE: Anyone use the Beckett Marketplace?
I've bought many cards over the years, not a problem with the Marketplace. Finding the same cards from one dealer helps,
if dealer 1 sells card A for $2, card B for $3
but dealer 2 sells card B, for $2,
I buy both from dealer 1.
The shipping costs always seem to be $3+ I try to minimize shipping costs as much as possible.
I have occasionally paid more for shipping than the card, if it's a 7-8 year old card, never listed on ebay or COMC or Sportlots and I want it, I just accept it's the cost of buying old or rare.
Overall, good service, my one frustration, occasionally I get refunded because they sold the card somewhere else but did not update their inventory. That's annoying

It depends on the seller...after you add the card to your cart, it will tell you if they have a shipping deal. I've found the minimum is usually around $50-75 worth of cards for free shipping.
I like cards serial numbered 34/xx

RE: Anyone use the Beckett Marketplace?
I find the marketplace is a bit over priced sometimes.....but its the S&H that really kills you. Some sellers offer free S&H but only if you spend a certain amount.

Just an FYI. I have reached out to a few sellers on Beckett and they are real cool about working with you on price others not do much, but it is worth a try. Just thought I would throw that out there

I've tried that same thing and a few were more than happy to work out a fair price. One just wanted to get rid of it and I ended up buying with free S/H. Always worth a shot.
