The House of Cards

We have just introduced a couple of new features at Gimko and we thought we would tell you all about them.

Tracking Numbers

We have rolled out our tracking numbers feature. This will allow sellers to select their carrier and insert the tracking number so that the buyer can keep a track of where their item is.

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

With big thanks to ESP, Gimko can exclusively release to our fellow NRL collectors the official full checklist from 2014 NRL Elite product release.

What are Group Breaks?

The basic setup of a group break is that multiple people split the cost of the boxes (or a case) in the break and then the cards are divided up amongst the people in the break, sports breaks usually by team or hit, for non-sports breaks by character, hit, or pack.

It is a great alternative to buying a full case or box and they are a great way to be involved in a large break at a lower cost.

 
How Do Group Breaks Work?

The breaks are all done LIVE and you can participate in the fun by chatting with the breaker and others collectors in the group break. If you cannot watch the break live than don’t worry!! All our breaks are recorded so you can watch the replay once the break is over.

After the break the breaker will sort all the cards and send them off to the collectors that bought spots in the group break.

Starting this month, Gimko will begin to focus more attention on non-sport collectibles and the collective voice of a few of our users have highlighted playing cards as something they’d like to read, see and talk about. With the increasing popularity of project-funding website Kickstarter, it has become more accessible and less risky for talented designers such as Soleil Zumbrunn, the creator of Glitch Playing Cards, to show the community her vision. …continue reading
