About PrimeLot Cards
Built by a Collector. For Collectors.
Our Story
Trading cards have been a part of my life since I was a kid. Like a lot of people in this hobby, I drifted in and out over the years — always pulled back by the excitement of the chase, the stories behind the cards, and the community that forms around them. Sports cards were where it all started, and more recently, I fell in love with One Piece cards and the depth of collecting that comes with them.
This marketplace was built by a collector first, not a corporation.
I'm still actively buying, selling, and collecting today — and that perspective matters. It's what shaped this platform and why it exists.
The Problem We Saw
If you've ever sold cards online, you know the frustration.
Most marketplaces charge anywhere from 10-15% commission on every sale. You do all the work—photographing, listing, pricing, packaging, shipping—and a huge chunk of your profit disappears to fees.
For sellers trying to make a living or just clear out their collection, these high commissions make it harder to price competitively and still turn a profit. For buyers, these fees often get passed along as higher prices.
For a hobby built on passion and community, the system hasn't always felt fair.
Our Solution: Zero Commission
This marketplace was created to do things differently.
We charge zero commission on your sales. You list your cards, make the sale, and keep 100% of the profit. No hidden fees. No percentage taken. Just a flat monthly subscription that pays for itself after your first sale or two.
We've also built in:
- •Fair pricing for both buyers and sellers
- •Monthly giveaways that reward active sellers with prizes
The goal is simple: keep more money in the hands of the people who actually make the community thrive.
Who This Is For
Everyone is welcome here.
- •Newcomers just learning the hobby
- •Casual collectors chasing nostalgia
- •Serious investors analyzing value
- •Long-term collectors building something meaningful
Whether you're buying your first lot or managing a serious collection, this platform is built to support you.
More Than a Marketplace
This isn't just about transactions.
It's about building a trusted community where relationships form over months and years — where people can enjoy the hobby, make money, and feel confident doing both.
Trust matters. Transparency builds trust. Community sustains it.

Built for Collectors, by Collectors
We understand the frustration of buying a "mystery lot" only to find it's full of commons worth pennies. We've been there. We know what it's like to pay shipping costs on bulk purchases where half the cards are damaged or not as described.
That's why PrimeLot Cards enforces transparency at every step:
- •Sellers must upload clear photos of every card or provide detailed bulk lot images
- •Individual pricing means you always know the value breakdown
- •Accurate condition reporting is required - misrepresentation leads to account suspension
- •Tracking numbers are mandatory so you always know where your cards are
- •Comprehensive buyer protection and insurance claims give you peace of mind on every purchase
