Our founders all started their collecting journey in the traditional sports card world, and continue to be active in that space. However, at Global Card Auctions, we want to shine a spotlight on a cumulatively larger and rapidly growing genre– Non Sports, Niche Sports, CDVs / Cabinets, Rare Foreign Issues, and Postcards. Our team carefully researches and curates these segments, and gives them the attention they deserve.

- About Global Card Auctions
Our Success
Story
Global Card Auctions was built by passionate collectors who live and breathe the hobby. We research relentlessly, educate fellow collectors on niche cards, and travel to shows across different countries to find the pieces most people overlook. Where other auction houses see just another consignment, we see the story behind the card — its history, its rarity, and why it matters. Our mission is to spotlight the cards that barely appear and connect them with the collectors who truly chase them. With us, your card gets the attention it deserves.

- Testimonials
This card is part of the first “baseball set” of cards released in 1887 and is the final card I needed to complete the set of 10! Thanks to Steven Lazar for helping me land the final piece of the puzzle on one of the most iconic baseball card sets and an astonishing part of our history.

Why Consign With Us
Niche Expertise
Specialists in nonsports, cricket, CDVs, and the overlooked corners most houses ignore.
Built-In Promotion
Every Auction is featured on Breakout Cards — the largest YouTube channel dedicated to niche cards, with 15,000+ subscribers — putting your items in front of collectors who actively chase them.
Global Reach
A worldwide base of serious collectors actively chasing the cards you’re selling.
Top Dollar, Personal Service
We promote every consignment like it matters — because to us, it does.
Fast Payment
We pay consignors quickly after each auction closes — no unnecessary holds on your proceeds.
Cash Advances
Need funds before the sale? Cash advances are available on select high-value consignments — just ask.
Fair & Transparent
No house accounts, no hidden or moving reserves, and we never bid on our own lots. With 0% seller fees, we only make money when you do.
Curated Auctions
Smaller, focused sales mean your card is a headliner — never buried among duplicate copies or lost in a catalog of tens of thousands of lots.
FEES & TRANSPARENCY
No Seller Fees. Total Transparency.
We keep it simple and honest. You always know exactly what you’ll pay — and exactly what you’ll keep.
0%
Seller Fees
Consign and pay nothing to sell. You keep 100% of every hammer price — we’re paid through the buyer’s premium, never by you.
20%
Buyer’s Premium
A 20% buyer’s premium is added to the winning bid. Buyers also cover shipping and any applicable sales tax. No hidden fees, ever.
$0
Upfront Grading
When a card is high-value or grading will boost its return, we’ll recommend it — and always discuss it with you first. We handle the grading and deduct the cost from your final sale price, so there are no upfront costs. We won’t sell premium cards or premium CDVs raw.
CONSIGNOR REWARDS

The stronger the card, the more we promote it. Tiers are based on the estimated value of each lot, set with you at consignment.
