The Radar · Consigning

Where do you sell a serious card collection?

Fifteen places take cards. They do not cost the same, they do not pay out on the same schedule, and several of them are the same company.

We do not buy cards, we do not sell them, and we will not put a value on yours. What follows is what each house charges a seller, when it pays, the smallest lot it will take, and who to ask for. Those are facts about the houses. What your collection is worth is a different question and not one we answer.

Every house here is listed on the same terms. Placement is not for sale and never will be — no house can buy its position or its ordering on this page. Where we hold a commercial relationship with a house, it is shown in the table beside that house.

Not sure which of these fits what you have? We won’t rank houses in public — an opinion about a stranger’s money, published to strangers, is not ours to give. A private answer is different: tell us what is in the collection and we will point you to the two or three houses that suit it, and who to ask for. We don’t buy, we don’t sell, and we won’t put a value on your cards. Write to us →

Before you ask for three quotes

Some of these houses are the same company. It is not hidden, but it is not obvious either, and it matters if you are trying to compare offers:

Huggins & Scott and Robert Edward Auctions are the same company. Huggins & Scott names Robert Edward Auctions as its parent on its own consignment page.
Lelands and Clean Sweep Auctions are one company. They merged and are run under the same chief executive, as Collectors First Auction Group.

Asking both halves of one company is not a second opinion.

Or sell it yourself

No consignment, no commission negotiation — and no one doing the work. You photograph, describe, price, pack and ship every lot. Often the right answer for a smaller collection, and the wrong one for a collection that needs a catalog behind it.

A buyer's premium is not your cost. It is what the winning bidder pays on top of the hammer price, and it matters to you only because it comes out of what a bidder is willing to spend in total. What you pay is the seller's commission — the column most houses do not publish.

Where a house has told us its rate directly, it says so. Where it has not, we say not published rather than repeat a figure from a directory. Several numbers in wide circulation are wrong.

Terms current as of 2026-08-22. Auction schedules and fee structures change; confirm anything that matters with the house.
