Over the past couple weeks, you may have noticed the account eaglescards2 crawling up the carts. It finally stopped at #2 with more than $90,000 worth of cards. This collection of cards was received from a local dealer who is helping someone liquidate a large collection. Most of the cards we received were jersey or autographed cards. Here are a few examples.

2006 Topps Chrome Rookie Autographs #223 - Vince Young A BV $250

2002 Fleer Showcase Derek Jeter Legacy Collection Memorabilia #2 - D.Jeter YC Combo Jsy/175 * BV $250

2005-06 Bowman Chrome X-Fractors #155 - Andrew Bogut AU/25 BV $250

2003-04 Fleer Authentix Jersey Authentix Autographs All-Star #AJAAM - Alonzo Mourning/50 BV $200

Since my last blog post we have reached many milestones. We now have more than 200,000 cards for sale, and I was planning to do one last blog post with my timgetsch account in the #10 spot of the top sellers list. However, today DKShultz took over the #10 spot.

DPietrack also called me today to let me know he hit 1,000 total cards sold. So I dug into it and noticed that 4 sellers have now reached 1,000 cards sold. SteveSC, prestongillespie, and cardshark are the other sellers. My timgetsch account has sold more than 2,000 cards, and my LowPriceCards account holds the lead with more than 10,000 cards sold.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of identifiying the cards in another amazing shipment of cards from EELindy. This pushed EELindy into the #10 spot on our top sellers list, but he won’t be there for long. We already have several more shipments from EELindy in our pipeline, and his cards should excite just about any collector.

Here is a taste of the cards that were just added to his account.

On Thursday James from Fargo, ND set a CheckOutMyCards.com record by placing one order that spanned 16 different sellers. He only had to pay $20 for shipping because we house all of the cards on the site and we do all the shipping at once.

Here are a couple of the cards that were purchased.

Last week SteveSC became the first seller other than me to surpass $1,000 in sales. Steve is a local dealer here in the Seattle area, and he was one of the first people to start beta testing our consignment service last summer. He has been extremely pleased with the sales and service proviced by our new website.

SteveSC is currently the #2 seller on CheckOutMyCards.com behind only LowPriceCards, but that isn’t really fair because LowPriceCards is the account used by my previous website, LowPriceCards.com. All of that site’s inventory was moved into this account when we re-branded LowPriceCards.com as the consignment website CheckOutMyCards.com. So, technically SteveSC is the #1 consignment seller on the site, but that that is soon to change because we have a couple other sellers that are making strong bids to take over that spot.

eaglescards and gooddeal have each given us around $15K - $25K worth of cards that we are currently processing. Over the next few weeks, a ton of great cards will be added to the site, and all will be at amazing prices!

Another seller to keep a close eye on is prestongillespie. He has only been selling on the site for 1 week and has already sold 300+ cards for more than $700.
