The House of Cards

The team at Gimko have some news to share with our collecting community. Today we are extremely excited to announce that we have partnered with Platinum Standard Grading (PSG) to provide bulk submission grading services to our collecting community.

“Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

What does this mean for our community?
It means that you will be able to send your trading cards to us from your personal collection or tell us to grade your hits straight from our breaks whilst your trading cards are still in our possession. The service is offered as way for people who want to take advantage of the bulk submission price, however do not have many trading cards to grade or the time to submit trading cards for grading the correct way. Gimko will ensure that everything is packaged safely and made ready and easy for PSG to grade the submitted trading cards.

The other main benefit of submitting via Gimko is that you will not have to pay upfront! We will only invoice you once we have the trading cards back to us graded and ready to be provided back to you!

For sellers, tracking numbers can be entered under My Gimko > Selling Section > Sold Items under the Options menu “Update Tracking Info”. Here you will also be able to see the status of the posted item.

For buyers, you can see the tracking number under …continue reading

After feedback from our users about the 5-step listing process we had, we are proud to announce the introduction of the brand new one-page listing form.

The introduction of this new listing form will allow you to list your items much more quickly than you previously were able to.

Click here to get started listing your cards and to check out the new listing process. If you have any feedback on the new form or have any problems using it, then don’t hesitate to contact us.

We launched our user verification services a number of weeks back, shortly after we launched, however there were some technical difficulties that prevented us offering these services to users registered as a business – until now.

Users that are registered as a business can now verify their accounts to add that extra level of trust to prospective buyers when selling their items.

If you would like to learn more about verification please click here or to verify your account now, please click here.

If you have any questions about the verification process, feel free to contact us.

We’re pleased to announce a big update to our item search functionality. The item search system has been given a major overhaul and you now can use advanced search operators to run more powerful searches.

You can make it so certain words don’t show up in the results, use exact matching patterns, group words together to get at least one of the grouped words, use wildcard characters and of course you will still be able to run a standard search like you have been used to doing.

For more information on the new advanced search operators, please check out this page.

Version 2.4 of the Gimko Bulk Lister has now been released. It is highly recommended you update to this version BEFORE creating any new bulk listings via this tool as there was a significant bug fix.

Changes in this version:

• Fixed validation of auction-only listings
• Added “Select Filename” & “Make Template Row“
• Replaced new line characters in item titles with spaces
• Added “Spx Finite” & “Panini Past and Present” to the Basketball Brands list

More information on some of these new additions are available on the Info tab in the application.

As always, the Bulk Lister can be downloaded via My Gimko -> Selling Tools -> Bulk Lister or by clicking the link here.
