With thousands of listings, including sports and TCG cards, memorabilia, comics, video games, and more, and a global community of collectors, Fanatics Collect offers a more dynamic way to collect for all. ## Premier Auction The Fanatics Collect Premier Auction is curated monthly showcase of high-end collectibles, from vintage icons to ultra-modern 1/1 masterpieces and everything in between. Reserved for collectibles with a market value of at least $25,000, each listing receives high-res photography and a written description. Many are also featured in tailored marketing outreach throughout the auction. A 20% buyer's premium is added to the hammer price of all sales. ## Weekly Auction The Fanatics Collect Weekly Auction features thousands of sports and TCG cards, pieces of memorabilia, comics, and other collectibles closing every Sunday. At least one Weekly Auction is always live, with events starting every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. PT and closing 10 days later on Sunday evening. Extended Bidding begins on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. PT, giving every bidder a fair chance to win every listing. Auction listings end via closing windows that become increasingly brief as Extended Bidding progresses. The first closing window ends promptly at 7:30 p.m. PT. A 20% buyer's premium is added to the hammer price of all sales. ## Buy Now Marketplace The always-on Buy Now marketplace is home to tens of thousands of collectibles. Sellers set asking prices, with the option to review and accept offers from prospective buyers. Sellers can list items from their vault at any time. The Buy Now marketplace operates with a seller's fee model. All cards listed less than 120% of market value have a seller's fee of just 6% – one of the lowest rates in the industry. There are no fees for purchasing in the Buy Now marketplace. The price you see is the price you pay.
