CheckOutMyCards.com Blog

Get your cards to us ASAP if you want priority processing. We leave for the National Sports Collectors Convention in two weeks. Steve, Mark, and I will be manning our booth (#783).

Check out our updated About Us page. It now has a little snippet on each of our 6 fulltime employees.

We have been cranking through cards at an amazing rate. If you get your cards to us by next week, we will likely get them on the site before the National. I just finished pushing 18 shipments of cards into different sellers’ accounts today. As the sellers set asking prices over the next few days, there should be a lot of fresh inventory on the site.

You can keep an eye on this page to see the most recently added cards.

Here are a few cards that should show up very soon.

Steve Hollander will be at the Totem Lake Mall card show this weekend representing CheckOutMyCards.com. This is your last opportunity to drop off cards before the National convention.

If you haven’t started using our consignment services, drop off cards at the show and we will process the first 100 cards for free. This is a $22 value.

Local card shows
Here is a schedule of the Seattle area card shows that we will be attending. You are always welcome to swing by our table. We love to chat about the site. If you are in the Seattle area, this is the best way to give us feedback.

Planning to be at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago July 30th - August 3rd?

Come visit us at booth #783!

Bring your cards!
Have cards you would like to sell on the site? Bring them to our booth, and we will ship them to our warehouse near Seattle for you.

If you are not coming to the show and you have cards you want to add to the site, you probably want to send them to us soon. After the National there may be a big backlog of cards waiting to go on the site. Cards received before the end of July will have priority over cards we get at the National.

Whether you are going to be at the National or not, you should start preparing your cards go on the site now so that they are ready to be shipped of dropped off at the show by the end of July.

We will be at the Washington Sate Sports Collectors Associate Annual Show tomorrow and Sunday. Steve Hollander will be representing CheckOutMyCards.com. I will swing by for a few hours on Saturday and maybe Sunday.

Please drop by Steve’s table and say hello. There will be a big CheckOutMyCards.com banner. If you would like us to put some of your cards on the site, you can drop them off at the show and avoid the hassle of shipping them to us.

We are driving on I-5 on way to Vancouver for a card show this weekend. If you are in the area, you should stop by the show and say hello.

We should be set up at the show by about 7:00 PM. Julia and Tim will be there.

This blog post was written on a laptop that is teathered to a cell phone with an internet connection. This is the same technique that we use for demoing the website at card shows, and it works surprisingly well while driving down the freeway.

For those of you in the Pacific Northwest, there are some card shows coming up, and the CHECKOUTMYCARDS.com team will be there! See below for dates, times, and locations. Come out and see us!
