Greetings once again from Small Traditions, We invite you to consign your PSA, BGS & SGC graded cards and certified autographs at 0% to our forthcoming Monthly Masterpieces Plus #22 Auction, which will run from June 18 to June 28 at smalltraditions/Catalog.aspx. With less than two weeks until the auction, we are only accepting graded cards and certified autographs at this point, but please see below for our calendar of summer auctions and our longer-term consignment options, including our popular Cost-Free Grading Program and our new Collection Management Service. Please call 303.832.1975 or write info@smalltraditions to discuss your collectibles today. June Monthly Materpieces Plus #22 Auction (consign by Monday 6/16) July Monthly Masterpieces Plus #23 Auction (consign by Monday 7/21) Exclusive 100-Lot August Premium Auction (consign by Friday 8/15) Exclusive Derek Jeter Farewell Auction (consign by Friday 9/12) Free Auction Listings: Sell Your Certified Collectibles for a 0% Sellers Fee The hallmark service of Small Traditions is free auction listings for our consignors graded cards and third-party certified autographs and memorabilia. Call 303.832.1975 or write info@smalltraditions to discuss your items, and then simply mail them to our office in Denver. Well list your material in our next monthly auction, and in as little as 2-4 weeks after the auction, well send you a check for 100% of the final bid bid price of your item(s). The total inverse of eBay, there is no selling fee whatsoever for our standard auction service. Instead of charging our sellers, we charge our bidders a modest Buyers Premium of 15% that we add to their final bids, so if your item generates a final bid of $1,000, you get a check for $1,000, and we charge our buyer $1,150. Why tolerate eBay and PayPal for 15% of your profits, and why consign to other auction houses that charge up to 20% from their sellers plus as much as 20% or more from their buyers, when you can consign to Small Traditions for free? Cost-Free Grading: Grade 10 to 100 Cards with PSA, SGC & BGS at No Cost Certified third-party grading is an expensive and delicate process that typically adds multiple factors of value to properly handled and selected cards. In the grading process, experienced professionals scrutinize every square millimeter of both surfaces of a card using a 10X jewelers loop, and even a pixel-sized print dot can lower a cards final grade. A simple smudge from a fingerprint can lower a grade a full level, and the tiniest imaginable nicks and scratches from handling can impact a grade even more. Use your discretion to select 10 to 100 of your best raw or ungraded cards to submit to Small Traditions, and well use our expertise to further screen them for grading with PSA, SGC, or BGS, the hobbys leading third-party certification companies. Well consult before and after the grading process to discuss your expectations and to ensure not just your satisfaction with the process but also your understanding of its many challenges. After initial consultation, well then do the very important and delicate work of preparing your cards for grading. Well pay to ship them off, well pay to grade them, well pay to ship them back, and well pay to auction them. We will pay for all charges up front and then deduct your grading fees only after the completed auction of your item(s). Collection Management Service: Grade & Auction Your Entire Collection for 10-20% Small Traditions is pleased to introduce our Collection Management Service, a consultation and asset liquidation program aimed at maximizing the sales value of groups of cards in excess of 10 to 100. Whether your collection consists of 200 cards or 200,000, instead of selling it for far less than its potential market value -- sometimes far less, as most dealers will usually pay 60% of book value for cash deals -- well organize your entire collection, identify candidates for grading, auction the graded cards, and then sell the leftovers in detailed groups. This labor intensive process typically increases the value of the collections with which we work by multiple factors. Instead of earning $10,000 for your collection, well work hard to earn you $20,000 to $30,000 or more, all at a modest cost of 10-20%, depending on the size.
