Selling sports cards through Wheatland Auction Services
Wheatland Auction Services 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. Wheatland Auction Services adds an 18% buyer’s premium to the hammer price. The seller’s commission is not published — it is negotiated per consignment. Sellers are paid 21–28 days after the sale. The smallest lot it takes is $150.
No house pays to appear here or to appear higher.
What follows is what Wheatland Auction Services 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 Wheatland Auction Services is 18% of the hammer price.
Flat. All bidders must have a major credit card on file. Pennsylvania sales tax where applicable.
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.
