About Fanatics Collect
The business began as PWCC, a card marketplace and vault based near Portland, Oregon. Fanatics bought PWCC in 2023 and renamed it Fanatics Collect. It is part of the wider Fanatics group, which also makes licensed trading cards. The site focuses on graded cards and holds many of them in its own insured vault.
Weekly Auctions open on Thursdays at 7 p.m. Pacific and close about 10 days later on Sunday night, with extended bidding starting at 7 p.m. Pacific. Premier Auctions run monthly and take items worth $10,000 or more. Buy Now listings have fixed prices with no buyer fee. Items bought on the site can stay in the vault and be resold without shipping.
