ShopCardHub is reader-supported. This page explains exactly how we make money, which programs we participate in, and — most importantly — why our affiliate relationships never decide a card's verdict.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, ShopCardHub may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you. Commissions help fund the research, price-tracking, and writing that keep these guides free. That's the entire business model. We don't run pop-ups, we don't sell your data, and we don't charge for access.
As required by the FTC's endorsement guides, here are the affiliate and partner programs we belong to:
| Program | What It Covers | How We Use It |
|---|---|---|
| eBay Partner Network | Sold comps, Buy-It-Now, and live listings | Price links and "check current price" buttons |
| Fanatics Affiliate | Sealed boxes, supplies, and new releases | Hobby-box and product links |
| Amazon Associates | Card supplies — sleeves, top loaders, Card Savers, storage | Supply recommendations on our guides |
| COMC | Our own storefront (Users/DBCooper) | Direct links to cards we own and sell |
As an Amazon Associate, ShopCardHub earns from qualifying purchases.
An affiliate commission never changes a ranking, rating, or verdict. Card values are anchored to recent eBay sold data — period. If a hobby box is a bad value, we rate it a bad value even if we'd earn a commission on the sale. If a prospect is overpriced, the math says so. The commission is on the click, not on the conclusion. Read more about how we price cards.
All card prices on this site are estimates based on recent sold listings as of the date shown on each page. The market moves daily and past sales do not guarantee future prices. Nothing on ShopCardHub is financial advice — it's market data and our read on it. Buy what you can afford to.
