I recommend that anyone in the hobby who submits even a few times a year get a membership. Personally, I rotate between Lake Country Cards and my own PSA membership. I've found that using LCC has gotten me my cards back a bit quicker than when I send them myself. So, if it's more time-sensitive (like this one due to the NFL playoffs), I go through them. Additionally, I do a paid memberships on eBay and CardDealerPro. The subscriptions pay for themselves with the store discounts on eBay and the ability to easily do large listings in bulk. For instance, using CDP, it took me just over an hour to scan and list 53 cards on eBay with full card descriptions.

100%. I have a saved search on eBay for auctions of graded card lots for that very reason. 1. Like you said, they are liquid and easy to move 2. In auctions, you tend to be able to get those larger lots far below comps to make better room for a profit In fact, I got a recent 21 graded football cards for $199. When comp'ing each individually, the conservative value was $375; which is great because we are in the middle of the offseason and will certainly go up as we get closer to training camp.

Absolutely! Personally, this way of organizing is so easy for pick, pack, and ship on all eBay transactions (combined with a thermal printer) that it takes me 5min to print my daily labels, find the cards, and get them in the envelopes at night
