COMC is weird in 2026, but what isn't?

 I'm surprised I haven't gotten injured just watching the Jays this season. Maybe I have, and I'm in such bad shape I just haven't noticed.

 As the Jays deal with their World Series hangover, I have begun picking up new (old) cards to start the baseball season.

I uploaded my first credits to COMC in many years. I don't particularly want to use COMC these days and I buy most of my stuff from Sportlots, but the problem is that being in Canada there isn't a lot of choice when it comes to shipping. I can combine shipping with either COMC or Sportlots and send myself a relatively inexpensive package once every few weeks or so.

Buying from Ebay as a Canadian, however, is a miserable experience. I mean, I'm sure it's a miserable experience for everyone, but it's an even more expensive miserable experience for us north of the border. I guess I could use the COMC mailbox service, or another mail forwarding service, but I'm not sure if the added costs of those services greatly offset the amount of extra money I would pay just to have the cards shipped directly from the seller to my home. It's annoying.

COMC is weird. As I mentioned, I haven't bought anything from it in years. They seem to have never updated their web site. Most of their search options are useless. Same with their watch list. 

 It also feels like there are far fewer cards on COMC these days. I can see sales history for the cards I'm interested in, and it looks as if people are buying cards there and just pulling them off the site. Like, I can see a lot of cards had much cheaper copies, all of which sold, and now only the silly overpriced ones are left.

Yet another problem is that I make offers and sellers just don't respond. Why bother having the offer functionality if you are just going to ignore it? Turn it off. 

There seems to be a lot of competition now from similar sports card selling apps. The problem for me is that almost none of those apps allow for sales to Canada. I guess I could use the COMC mailbox feature again with those, but once again I'm not sure if the added cost is worth it because I have to pay to ship to COMC, pay COMC to store the cards, wait for them to upload them, and then mail them with the rest of my COMC cards. I'll probably try it once to see how it goes.

If I were one of these sellers that had portfolios with massive values at COMC I would be quite nervous about COMC going bankrupt or something. What would happen to my inventory? Is there something in the site's fine print that would prevent me from recovering my cards, or a cash equivalent? What if COMC's warehouse burnt down? Sure, they would get the insurance payout. What would I get? I don't trust them at all, and I wouldn't keep any cards on their site worth more than what I was willing to totally lose.

Are you still using COMC in 2026? Why or why not?
