Where to sell sports cards Β· Goldin

Selling sports cards through Goldin

Goldin is an auction house for vintage and modern cards. What it costs to consign, when you are paid, the deadlines, and who to ask for.

In short. Goldin adds a 22% buyer’s premium to the hammer price (minimum $19). The seller’s commission is not published — it is negotiated per consignment. The smallest lot it takes is $500.

No house pays to appear here or to appear higher. What follows is what Goldin publishes, or has told us directly, with the date we last checked. It is not a recommendation, and nothing here is a view on what your cards are worth. We also buy cards ourselves; that has no bearing on anything written here.

What a buyer pays on top

The buyer's premium at Goldin is 22% of the hammer price. Same across Marketplace, Weekly and Elite

It is paid by the winning bidder, not by you — but bidders know it is coming, so it shapes what they are willing to bid.

Before you call

Know roughly what is there first — which cards matter, and which are graded. Ask for the seller's commission in writing, ask whether anything else is charged (photography, insurance, return of unsold lots), and ask when you will be paid. Then ask at least one other house the same questions.
