CheckOutMyCards.com Blog

Thank you for providing so much feedback on our potential changes post. We set a record for our blog with more than 100 comments. As you can see, we do things quite differently from other sites. Rather than just springing fees and changes on people, we try to work with you to provide the best service for everyone.

Rather than doing anything radical, we are going to test some new services for the next few months. Depending on their popularity and our costs, we will decide whether they will become permanent offerings.

Thank you for all of your Support!

We apologize for the confusion in the newsletter we emailed today. Our shipping special runs through THIS Wednesday. That’s June 23, not the 13th.

Thanks!

Our loss is your gain…

Today were hoping to send out a newsletter announcing silent auctions and the shipping special, but unfortunately we ran out of time. Instead, the newsletter will get sent on Monday, and the shipping special will be extended through Wednesday. This has the added bonus that whoever wins the silent auction can get some cheap shipping if they want that.

We will try to get all special shipments that were requested Friday or Saturday packaged by Friday, June 25th. The rest will be packaged by Tuesday, June 29th.

To commemorate the launching of our first-ever silent auction, we are offering a 48-hour shipping special this week.

From 12:01 a.m. Friday to Saturday 11:59 p.m. (PST), customers will be able to ship their first 50 cards for only $9.99. Each additional card is just 10¢ more.
– Cards will be shipped out by Friday, June 25
– Graded, Encased or Jumbo cards are each $1 extra
– Orders shipped outside the US are $10 extra
– Account required

The  special is 33% better than our regular bulk shipping special. So take advantage of this rare opportunity.

Enjoy the last few hours of your Memorial Day weekend… Buy $100 or more of store credit and get an extra 5% for free

Store credit must be purchased instantly online by 11:59 PM PST

Enjoy!
