A Guide To The Best Cyber Monday Sports Card Deals For 2023

black friday and cyber monday deals 2023

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have long been a shoppers’ paradise. Suppose your idea of paradise is getting run over by an angry mob of housewives trying to get a flat-screen TV.

But things have changed, and now we have the internet as our main venue for shopping choice. So, the worst we have to deal with is crashing servers and shipping delays. But we don’t care about TVs. That piece of garbage on our walls is fine.

Instead, we want cards. And our favorite card purveyors have come up with excellent deals this year. We have given you the best options in our guide to Black Friday Sports Card Deals in 2023.

A note on timing. As we all know, Black Friday falls on November 24, 2023 this year. However, every website has different rules for when sales start and end. Usually, the sales start on Black Friday or a day or two before.

They then run into Cyber Monday (which falls on November 27, 2023) and sometimes the entire following week. But keep in mind that supplies run out; if you are into the popular stuff, you will want to hit hard and hit early.

Blowout Cards

Blowout Cards makes a massive deal out of Black Friday and sees it as the centerpiece of its calendar. And in 2023, they have decided to start the festivities early.

They will start their sales on the Monday before Black Friday, thus turning it into a full week of sales, ending on Cyber Monday. Blowout Cards has cleverly decided to stagger their deals; that way, they will keep us coming back to their website throughout the week.

Clever bastards! Here are some of the sales currently on their website:

  • 2023 Topps Update Series Baseball Hobby 12 Box Case – $779.77 (instead of $999.95)
  • 2021 Topps Chrome Tennis Sapphire Edition Box – $59.77 (instead of $99.95)
  • 2023 Bowman Chrome Baseball Mega 20 Box Case – $969.77 (instead of $1349.95)
  • 2023 Topps Chrome Baseball Sapphire Edition Box – $274.77 (4349.95)
  • 2022 Panini Donruss Optic Football Asia Edition 20 Box Case – $1,774.77 (instead of $2,449.95)
  • 2022/23 Panini Select Basketball Fanatics Blaster 20 Box Case – $499.77 (instead of $649.95)

Some of these deals are insanely good. For example, the 2018 Topps Heritage High Numbers Hobby Boxes usually sell for around $450. As an added bonus, the company has a pretty good layout of the sales on offer every year. It’s not tough to find anything you are looking for.

You can organize items by price, name, number of packs in boxes, and “waves” of sales. The best method is by brand or sport, at least as far as I am concerned.

Still, the selection of items for sale is pretty comprehensive. And the average discount appears to be around 10-20%.

So, the more expensive the product, the bigger the deal you get. So, this is an excellent opportunity to spring on a costly box or case.

Dave & Adams

The folks at this big and well-respected card store have an annoying habit. They do not announce their Black Friday deals until the last minute. So, I reported they wouldn’t have anything last year, but they pulled off a nice special at the last minute.

Every item in the store (no exceptions or limitations) was 10% from Friday, November 25, 2022 at 11:00 am to Sunday, November 27, 2022 at 5:00 pm. They also have a giveaway bundle that includes:

  • 2021/22 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey Hobby Box
  • 2022/23 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey Hobby Box  
  • 2021 Panini Prizm Football 6-Pack Blaster Box
  • Tage Thompson Autographed Puck

It is certainly reasonable to expect something similar in 2023.

Fanatics

Fanatics is the biggest name in the hobby nowadays. So, what are they planning for the event? They have their apparel deals plastered all over their website. But we did not see a single thing designed for sports cards.

Will they ignore that side of the business on Black Friday? Unless you consider a couple of Garbage Pail Kids deals sufficient (we don’t), they are not doing much. My guess is they will do something closer to the actual date.

On Cyber Monday, you can receive 30% through the store by using code CYBERMON.

Steel City Collectibles

In previous years, Steel City Collectibles were stuck in the mud and often did not present their sales until the last minute. But this year, they are adopting a staggered approach of introducing some of their best sales ahead of time. Indeed, many of them are already available on the Steel City Collectibles website.

As in previous years, Steel City Collectibles have their sales organized by sport. That makes it far easier to find your thing. And time is money for busy, essential folks like us so that matters.

The selection is narrower than it will be on the relevant day. However, that is because it is only a pre-sale format for now. I used their site on Black Friday last year and remembered a similar selection to the one on Blowout Cards.

Some of the deals are great. Here are some examples of good deals:

  • 2023 Topps Definitive Baseball Hobby Box $2,299 (instead of $2,500)
  • 2023 Panini Presitage Football Hobby H2 Box $99.95 (instead of $119.95)
  • 2023 Topps Archives Baseball Blaster Box $799 (instead of $994)
  • Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Paradox Rift Booster Box $99 (instead of $150)
  • 2019 Panini Prizm Football Hobby Box – $499.95 (Instead of $599)
  • 2016 Panini NFL Contenders Hobby Box Case – $4,149.95 (Instead of $5,399.95)
  • 2013 Panini Certified Football Hobby Box – $99.95 (Instead of 179.95$)
  • 2022 Topps Update Baseball Retail 24-Pack Lot – $109.95 (Instead of $149.95)
  • 2022 Topps Baseball Factory Set Retail Version 8-Set Case $239.95 (Instead of $394.95)
  • 2021 Topps Series 2 Baseball 24 Pack Retail 12-Box Case $474.95 (Instead of $594.95)
  • 2021 Upper Deck Space Jam 2: A New Legacy Basketball Hobby 10-Box Case $394.95 (Instead of $474.95).
  • 2019-20 Panini Prizm Basketball Gravity Feed 10 Pack Lot $99.95 (Instead of $149.95)
  • 2018-19 Panini Flawless Collegiate Basketball Hobby 2-Box Case $11,999.95 (Instead of $17,499.95)

Their approach differs significantly from that of Blowout Cards. While Blowout is going for dramatic decreases in price on one or two cool items a day, Steel City is going for a wide across-the-board discount. The reductions are significant but nowhere near as sharp as those in Blowout.

Smaller Purveyors

The big buys are usually the first place we look on Black Friday. But there are plenty of awesome sales opportunities among the more petite guys.

We suggest you also contact your local card store to see what they have planned. Here are some outstanding options that have come to our attention.

Baseball Card Exchange

Baseball Card Exchange is nationally famous for its sealed wax authentication services. But they are also one heck of a card shop down in Schererville, Indiana. If they are having a Black Friday event, the store has yet to announce it.

Last year, they had an in-store sale of 10% off everything in the store, with no blackout items. They were also offering free pizza and entertainment for the kids. We would imagine they will do something this year. But we are disappointed they have not advertised anything.

The Collector Store LLC 

This is a well-known store located in Saint Peters, Missouri. They are having some cool sales for the 2023 Black Friday. They feature Black Friday deals in-store and on their website throughout November. In some cases, the sales amount to 50% off the list price.

Here are some examples of the sales they have available online:

  • 2023 Bowman Chrome Baseball HTA Choice Box – $239.95 (Instead of $279)
  • 2022 Panini Chronicles Football Hobby Box – $399.95 (Instead of $470)
  • 2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Stock Basketball Cello Box – $79.99 (Instead of $89.95)

Sports Card Zone

These guys operate out of Lakewood, California, and have an excellent online sales operation going. The Sports Card Zone offers 10-20% off various products for Black Friday.

One nice thing about their offerings is that they include some brand new products that you may not find among the sales of the bigger stores.

And even better, you can buy the developments there in installments. Most of these releases can be purchased in four monthly installments. Here are some examples of sales they have on hand:

  • 2023 Panini Prestige Football Hobby Box- $299.95 (Instead of $349.95)
  • 2023 Mosaic Football Hobby Box – $379.95 (Instead of $474.95)
  • 2023 Topps Archives Baseball Hobby Box – $129 (Instead of $140)
  • 2022/23 Panini Mosaic Basketball Hobby Box – $369 (Instead of $399.95)

Online sales platforms

Black Friday is usually a store thing. But it’s such a big hobby event that even the platforms are getting in on the actions. These players get more involved every year, and that trend has only increased this year.

COMC

The guys at COMC promise the lowest prices for all cards on the platform. How will it work? There are four elements to their promotion:

  • They are encouraging all sellers on the platform to cut prices and list special promotions from November 24 to 27. You can expect up to 50% off for some cards, so load up your COMC credit and get ready to snap up the good deals. They won’t last long.
  • For all items purchased with COMC Store Credit between midnight PST Monday, November 20th, and 11:59 pm PST Monday, November 27th, you’ll receive $5 back for every $100 spent!
  • Only purchases with COMC Store Credit are eligible.
  • $5 store credit rebate back per $100 spent (maximum $100 total rebate credit per user).
  • Store credit earned will automatically be applied to your COMC account in January 2024.
  • You can also earn free shipping by spending $150+ between Monday, November 20th, and Monday, November 27th . You will receive free shipping!
  • If you are waiting for a shipment request? You will receive free shipping on your next shipment if you spend $150+ during our promotional timeframe. The free shipment credit will automatically be applied to one shipment request you make between November 20th and November 27th.
  • Spend $150+, and you will automatically earn free shipping
  • Shipment credit will automatically be applied to one shipment request you make between November 20th through November 27th
  • Free shipping orders will be mailed by December 31st
  • Limited to one credit per account
  • COMC is also offering third-party grading discounts. The discounted rates are for grading with PSA and CGC Cards. They offer a $2 discount on our most affordable grading rates until December 31, 2023.
  • $22 per card PSA Value (regularly $24) 
  • $13 per card CGC Bulk (regularly $15) 

StockX

This platform isn’t offering Black Friday sales yet. But they have a landing page for it and seem to be promising something big.

However, we don’t know if there are going to be any trading cards involved. We certainly hope so. Last year, they had a great lineup of giveaways. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for 2023.  

Beckett Grading

PSA is ignoring Black Friday. Indeed, if you Google “PSA Black Friday,” you will find the Palmetto State Armory is having some deadly sales.

Indeed, none of the grading companies offer any Black Friday sales, at least not at the time of writing. That is a shame because BGS had a $10 per card particular last year.

The final word on Black Friday sports card deals for 2023

We have given you some of the coolest and best Black Friday opportunities the big boys in the hobby offer. But you will find some of the best options at your local card store.

Along with discounts and giveaways, many are holding community events. At the risk of sounding sappy, isn’t community what it’s all about?

Sure, buying and selling cards online is convenient. But we are missing the human touch. So, check on your local store and see what they do for Black Friday. Of course, you can always order online once you get back.
