Two weeks ago we had two new employees join our team. These employees and the rest of our team have been doing an absolutely amazing job. There had previously only been one week where we processed 20,000 cards.
Last week we processed 20,182 cards to break our previous record of 20,041 cards.
This week technically isn’t over yet, but we have already processed 23,606 cards this week.
That is an amazing pace. I took a glace at the top sellers and noticed that very soon my LowPriceCards account won’t bee the only account with a six digit book value. The growth we have seen over the past year is pretty stunning.

Today we finished processing nearly 1,000 cards from olsonnet. This was his first consignment lot, and this was the first time we had a new seller give us a lot with a book value of more than $10,000 where the average book value was more than $20 per card.
His prices are pretty good too. Here is a $300 Alex Rodriguez numbered 4 of 10.
I don’t expect it to last too long at $100.
Here is a $150 Reggie Bush numberd 6 of 9. He is only asking $40.
In the first few hours his cards have been up for sale more than $1,000 book value worth of cards have sold.

It is always encouraging when you witness someone looking out for a stranger, especially when there is nothing in it for them. On Friday a very honest member of the CheckOutMyCards community noticed a mistake by another seller and did a noble act to help out that seller.
At 5:22 PM garymccoy accidentally set the asking price for the following $30 card to $1.50 instead of $15.00.
At 6:00 PM our search results were updated so that people could start finding this card.
At 6:08 PM Tigers1984WS noticed that the card was marked 95% off book value, figured it must be a mistake, and purchased the card. He very quickly emailed us to let us know about the mistake so that the card could be transferred back to the original owner and set to the correct asking price.
As a special thanks to Tigers1984WS, we added an extra $1.50 store credit to his account. We are so thankful for having people with such integrity participate in this community.
On a side note… It is amazing how fast things can fly off the site if they have a low enough asking price. 8 minutes! Wow!

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.
