Hi everyone!
Thanks for joining us for the Weekly Chat. This week we’re joined by the Collectibles and Trading Cards teams. They are here to discuss Trading Cards and a few new features that eBay has recently launched for the card collector.
Check out Price Guide. Powered by eBay’s incredible breadth of data, Price Guide provides you with the most accurate insights available anywhere for sports and non-sports trading cards and collectible card games. Price Guide shows the most accurate reflection of your trading cards’ current value on our site, based on verified transactions on eBay during the previous 12 months.
The other feature is Collection. It’s integrated with Price Guide data so you have all the tools you need to power your trading all in one place. Engage with your collection in a multitude of ways:
- See the value of your portfolio at a high level or view a specific "asset class" like Pokemon or basketball. You can drill down to see the value of individual cards.
- Designed for in-app usage, you can list directly from Collection, making the listing process faster and easier.
- On desktop, upload up to 1,000 items using the .csv upload template, making it easy to upload your entire collection
For more information, see our Trading Hub page. Access the Price Guide via the eBay app, simply search for a card, and click on the pop-up window.
How does the chat work?

The new eBay shipping label for trading cards & postcards for 73cents disappeared from the purchase label page. Other sellers noted it gone too on discussion board.
Hi @pratercollectibles and @mailseum! We're aware and anticipate everything returning to normal once the item specifics/category updates complete.

Big ticket sales. I have a one of a kind 2002 NBA All Starter Athuntic game ball Autographed be the entire NBA ALL Stars (except Shaq who didn't play in the game because of injury) BIG PLUS though is Kobe autographed it has his old #8. Also the most amazing thing is, I BOUGHT IT AT AN NBA OFFICAL AUCTION...so the COA is ACTUALLY A COA from the NBA with NBA Official Hologram and OFICIALLY certified BY the NBA Commissioner Stu Jackson AND both team head coach. It should be worth TONS of money, people tell me I should take it to a live auction but I'm not sure how to find a trustworthy one who won't try to screw me over. Do you now any private buyers or acution houses that would be interested. Also in your personal opinion what do you think the value of this unique item would be. Tanks so much for your time and I'm lookin forward hearing back from you.
@bonhol22 Hey there!
The best way to check your value is by doing a completed sales search on eBay. If you search for the same item, you can refine the search to show you SOLD listing only. This way you can see what buyers are willing to pay for it. A quick Google search can help too!
Unfortunately we don't have private buyers, but you're more than welcome to list it on eBay to see what happens!

Postcards new item specifics are too many and a lot are things not really applicable to antique postcards. Such as "Era" is only as related to the World Wars ??? Will be very tedious listed cards going all these items.
Hi @pratercollectibles - please don't change your item specifics quite yet. the goal is to get your items to a broader category and work to automatically add relevant item specifics based on the old category it came from.
This process will take some time, but we expect this to be completed by the 19th at the latest, though most changes will be complete by the 14th.
Thanks!
