COMC Question

[CollectorsCorner]

I know on COMC if they list your card wrong and it sells cheap they will credit you the difference in the error which is really cool.

I had a Barry Sanders insert that the first 100 were holofoils booking 25 they listed it as the regular which booked 5 or something so I accidentally sold it for $1 not thinking.
They were great about it and credited me $19 because I told them I would have listed it for $20 but more than likely would have accepted an offer.

Fast forward to my COMC shipment I am looking through now
I bought a card that was listed as an SP but I got the regular version. I looked at the packing slip and my purchase history and they both say I bought the regular version. I went back and looked at my offer and it says I made an offer on the sp and it was accepted. Looked at the picture and it was the regular card.

What would you do in this situation?

Contact customer service. Looks like we caught and corrected the error after you bought it.

I had this happen once before. I bought a 1997 score platinum club Canseco for $15. I let it sit in my inventory for a while and then one day the scan changed from the Canseco card to Ripken Jr. I called them and they had no record of a scan for the Canseco on file(no clue since this was what I saw and purchased originally) so they credited me my purchase and gave me the card as well.

Ya that is what I was guessing as well. Out of curiosity why would the buyer of the card not be contacted about that?

Anyways, just got off the phone with CS and they said to ship it back for a full credit so I will probably do that. $12.50 error so it really isn't that big of deal

Clearly the same card/scan just listed differently before I bought and after I bought it

I've had something similar happen before after buying cards that were improperly listed. I'll get a list of Recent Price Changes, and I'll see the listings being corrected (ex. bought a 2010 Topps Gold Pedroia listed as a base card, and four months later, it was corrected with no action on my part). If you aren't selling the card, and have a backstock of items to be shipped to you, you might miss the change if you don't see the Recent Price Change emails.
