Fanatics Launches New Collectibles Marketplace, Fanatics Collect
Today, Fanatics announces Fanatics Collect, a new collectibles marketplace that will connect buyers and sellers of trading cards and memorabilia through fixed-price listings and auctions.
“The launch of Fanatics Collect is the next step in our commitment to creating the best experiences for collectors,” said Fanatics Collect CEO, Nick Bell. “We want to make it quick, easy, and fun for every collector to buy and sell cards, whether that’s instantly through the Buy Now marketplace or through the excitement of an online auction.”
Fanatics Collect launches with a comprehensive range of services for collectors.
Using feedback from collectors and sellers to inform discoverability of cards, time to list for sale, and simplicity of seller fees, the Buy Now marketplace has been designed to make it quicker and easier than ever for collectors to buy and sell cards at fixed prices. This feedback resulted in the Fanatics Collect Buy Now marketplace launching with a simple flat seller fee of 6 percent on all appropriately priced cards priced under $120 – among the most competitive seller rates in the industry.
In addition to the Buy Now marketplace, collectors will be able to buy and sell through weekly and monthly auctions. Monthly Premier auctions, along with the recently announced partnership for live and online auctions with Sotheby’s, will give Fanatics Collect users access to the rarest and most sought-after sports cards in the world.
Fanatics Collect will offer the most secure and technologically advanced vaulting services in the collectibles industry, and collectors will be able to have raw cards graded and authenticated through partnerships with leading providers PSA, CGC, Beckett, SGC, and MBA.
Alongside the launch of Fanatics Collect, Fanatics has retired the PWCC brand. All PWCC services – including auction and fixed-price marketplace listings, vaulting, and grading and authentication – will now be provided by Fanatics Collect.
Collectors can find Fanatics Collect at fanaticscollect.com, and download the app from the iOS and Android app stores.
