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.

What Makes Us Different

Wishlist Offers

Create wishlists of cards you're looking for. Sellers can build custom lots tailored just for you and send offers directly. Get exactly what you want without endless searching.

Flexible Purchasing

Don't want every card in a lot? No problem. Select only the cards you want and pay for just those. It's your choice.

Monthly Giveaways

Active sellers are automatically entered into monthly giveaways. The more you sell, the better your chances of winning prizes and rewards.

Buyer Protection

Every purchase is protected with our dispute system and insurance claims. We hold payments until delivery is confirmed to ensure your money is safe.

Direct Communication

Message sellers directly to ask questions, negotiate offers, or discuss card conditions. Build relationships with other collectors.

Saved Searches

Save your searches and get instant notifications when new listings match your criteria. Never miss the cards you're hunting for.

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
