Feb. 1, 2026, Redmond, COMC, the Redmond-based trading card consignment company, has retired its local mailing address and moved all operations to a single, 200,000 square foot facility in Algona, the company announced in a blog post this week.
COMC said the change, announced on Jan. 28, 2026, completes a long-term plan to centralize receiving, processing, cataloging, and shipping under one roof.
The company called the Algona site the largest card warehouse in the hobby, and said the move lets all operational teams work together in the same building, which cuts internal transit time for cards and streamlines workflows.
The company asked customers who use the COMC Mailbox service to stop sending submissions to the Redmond address and to use the Algona destination listed on COMC’s Mailbox page.
COMC also urged sellers who saved the Redmond address in PayPal or other services to update their saved addresses to avoid misdirected shipments.
COMC laid out the customer benefits in its announcement, saying consolidation should reduce time in transit once cards arrive, improve consistency and reliability in processing, and allow the company to scale the COMC Mailbox service more effectively.
The company added that because Algona is close to its previous operations, customers should not see changes to shipping rates based on distance.
Hobby press and independent coverage confirmed the consolidation and the retirement of the Redmond mailing address, noting the shift follows a phased move that began with a submission address update last November.
Collectors and dealers watching the announcement said the promised payoff will be faster listing and shipping times, but many said they will judge the move on whether turnaround actually improves.
The company did not provide details in its blog post about staffing changes tied to the consolidation, and COMC’s statement focused on operational efficiency rather than personnel. Local officials were not quoted in the announcement.
COMC asked customers with questions to contact the company at staff@comc.com, and the blog post included step-by-step instructions for updating submission practices.
For collectors who ship cards to COMC, the immediate action is administrative; the company said to check the Mailbox page for the new Algona mailing address and update any saved shipping settings.
COMC grew from a small local operation into a national consignment platform over the past decade, and the Algona facility represents the company’s largest single-site footprint to date.
For users, the practical test of the move will be whether the consolidation visibly shortens the time cards spend in transit and speeds the processing that leads to faster listings and returns.
