The days of simply throwing a card on eBay and hoping for the best are officially over.
In this environment, your choice of platform is just as important as the card you are selling.
If you’re holding a T206 Honus Wagner that could fetch $6 million or a stack of modern rookie refractors, the 2026 market offers a precision-tooled venue for every seller.
In this guide, we’re breaking down as many sites as possible for 2026.
We’ll look at the big and small players to help you decide which stage is right for your collection’s next chapter.
Direct-to-Consumer & Marketplaces
Best for sellers who want to keep more of the profit & don't mind doing the work (photos, shipping, customer service).
eBay:
Still the largest marketplace in the world. Their "Authenticity Guarantee" program for cards over $250 has made it much safer for 2026.
Tip: If you're listing tons of cards OR individual graded cards, consider: Card Dealer PRO
Social Media:
Some guys hustle online or use it as a lead magnet. Your skills at gaining a following will be key.
Tip: If you just hard sell all the time... you won't gain any followers or sell anything. People like to be informed and entertained!
