"So Fanatics made the card. And now Fanatics is selling the card." That auction is one side of it – they also store the card, and set the market value your seller fee is measured against if you list it on Buy Now.
That fee doubles from 6% to 12% depending on where your listing sits against that number, and it can be set by hand: three of mine were appraised manually, two well above Card Ladder and one low enough that I filed for a review.
Beyond that, the part I keep coming back to is FanCash No Fees – a genuinely good deal, and US sellers only. I'm in Europe, so the one lever that takes the seller fee to zero is the one I can't pull.
Do you get much from readers outside the US? Curious whether that side ever comes up for you.
Some wax makes it here, but the range is thin and premium products either don't arrive at all or come with a markup that makes buying direct from the US the better call anyway.
Honestly though, I barely touch wax. Almost everything I do is buying, selling and holding graded singles, so most of what I run into comes after the release rather than at it. Happy to share more on any of that from over here.
Congrats on the year, and on 750.

Exactly! Fanatics definitely stands to make the most money when the card never leaves their ecosystem.
We’ve talked to a few collectors from Europe, mostly at card shows. We’d love to hear your experience collecting overseas.
Is it difficult to find wax out there?

Thanks for the insight!
