Stage2 Fanatics Consignment Agreement

These terms apply to graded cards submitted for Fanatics Collect consignment through Stage2 TCG. Sending the online form creates a review request only. A consignment begins after Stage2 confirms the card, certification number, arrival method, payout arrangement, and acceptance into an auction batch.

Stage2 or Fanatics Collect may decline a card before listing. A requested auction date or estimated value is not guaranteed.

The customer confirms that every submitted card is authentic, lawfully owned or authorized for consignment, transferable, and free of liens, theft claims, or conflicting sale commitments.

The customer must provide accurate contact, grader, grade, certification number, card description, and payment information. Stage2 may correct objective listing details or request identity and ownership evidence.

Available arrival methods are Stage2 TCG NJ drop-off, CardsCorner NYC drop-off, a self-arranged card-show handoff, or shipping after Stage2 supplies the destination and timing. Stage2 TCG NJ accepts walk-in drop-offs during current store hours without an appointment or advance staff confirmation. Customers should check the current hours for the selected drop-off location before visiting. A form submission does not authorize shipment by itself.

Until Stage2 records physical receipt, the customer is responsible for packaging, carrier selection, insurance, declared value, and transit risk. A carrier scan alone is not proof that Stage2 has custody.

The customer authorizes Stage2 to prepare, transport, photograph, describe, list, vault, and administer accepted cards through Fanatics Collect. Stage2 may select operational details such as images, lot order, timing, and factual listing corrections.

Any estimated value is for routing only. It is not an appraisal, reserve, minimum bid, guaranteed sale price, or guaranteed payout.

New customers receive the standard schedule displayed in the intake: 105/120 minus $10 for $0–$199.99, 110/120 for $200–$999.99, 113/120 for $1,000–$2,499.99, and 114/120 for $2,500 or more.

The applicable tier is based on the verified buyer-inclusive final price, not the submitted estimate. A different arrangement applies only when authorized Stage2 staff records it for the customer or card.

A winning bid or a Fanatics Collect “sold” label is not by itself a payable settlement. Payment becomes due after the marketplace treats the sale as final, the buyer has paid, and Stage2 has received cleared proceeds attributable to the exact card.

Stage2 does not advance money for a pending, unpaid, disputed, reversed, fraudulent, withheld, returned, or chargeback-exposed transaction.

The customer may request payout by PayPal, Zelle, or wire transfer. PayPal and Zelle require the customer to provide the correct receiving tag. Wire transfers carry a $25 fee deducted from the payout, and Stage2 will request banking instructions separately by email when the payout is ready.

Fanatics Collect may later cancel or change an initial result because of buyer nonpayment, fraud review, return, chargeback, or platform correction. Stage2 may update the card status, reverse an unpaid payout, or place the card into a later auction when permitted.

A later completed sale replaces a failed or cancelled result. Stage2 reconciles results by exact certification number whenever the marketplace provides it.

After acceptance, the customer must not sell, pledge, or list the same card elsewhere. Withdrawal is available only when Stage2 and Fanatics Collect permit it; the customer is responsible for any disclosed retrieval, cancellation, handling, shipping, or insurance costs.

The customer must not bid on the customer’s own card, direct another person to bid, or otherwise manipulate the auction.

Carriers, vaults, graders, and Fanatics Collect are independent third parties. Recovery for loss or damage while a third party controls a card may be limited by that party’s rules, insurance, declared value, investigation, or approved claim amount.

The customer is responsible for personal tax reporting. Stage2 may keep intake, identity, tracking, auction, payout, and communication records for operations, accounting, fraud prevention, and disputes.

Checking the agreement box and submitting the form is the customer’s electronic signature to the version stored with the request. These terms, the accepted intake, the recorded payout arrangement, and later written card-specific instructions form the complete consignment agreement.

New Jersey law applies except where another law must apply. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. The customer may seek independent legal advice before submitting.
