Selling sports cards through Huggins & Scott
Huggins & Scott is an auction house for vintage cards. What it costs to consign, when you are paid, the deadlines, and who to ask for.
In short. Huggins & Scott adds a 20% buyer’s premium to the hammer price. The seller’s commission is not published — it is negotiated per consignment. Sellers are paid 30 days after the sale.
No house pays to appear here or to appear higher.
What follows is what Huggins & Scott 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.
Before you ask for two quotes

What a buyer pays on top
The buyer's premium at Huggins & Scott is 20% of the hammer price.
Flat. No credit cards, PayPal or digital wallets accepted — check, wire, money order or Zelle only, so no payment-method surcharge tier exists.
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.
