The short version: Some links on SlabAnalyst go to eBay and other platforms. If you buy something through those links, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the core product free. It does not influence our analysis or what cards we recommend.
SlabAnalyst participates in the eBay Partner Network (EPN), operated through Impact.com. When you click a link to an eBay listing from SlabAnalyst and complete a purchase within 24 hours, we earn an affiliate commission — typically 1–4% of the sale price depending on the category.
We may also participate in affiliate programs with other platforms in the sports card ecosystem (such as PSA, COMC, or grading supply companies) as the site grows. Any such relationships will be noted here.
You pay the same price whether you click our link or go to eBay directly. Affiliate commissions come from eBay's margin, not yours. There is no premium, markup, or hidden cost associated with using SlabAnalyst links.
Affiliate revenue does not influence which cards we analyze, which listings we surface, or what we recommend. SlabAnalyst's data is sorted by price and market data — not by commission rate. We highlight the best deal for you, not the most profitable deal for us.
We only link to listings we believe are relevant and fairly priced based on current market data. We will never artificially inflate prices, hide cheaper options, or recommend cards we wouldn't personally consider buying.
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are required to disclose any material connection between SlabAnalyst and the platforms we link to. This page, along with inline disclosures on relevant pages, fulfills that requirement.
