CIA was founded by Jeremy Donson in late 2023, and launched in the spring of 2024. His long time sports card partner and close friend Christopher Sewall (Baseball Card Collector Investor Dealer on YouTube) has been involved with CIA from the beginning and sits as Chairman of the Board over CIA auctions. We take great care in the most basic of principles… following the Golden Rule:
"Treat each other as you want to be treated"
We work exhaustively to ensure that every bidder & consignor is treated with top notch service start to finish.
On our affiliate YouTube channel, we have truly enjoyed sharing so much of our personal and professional lives, as well as showing fellow collectors and investors helpful insights and valuable lessons learned from decades of loving the collectibles hobby.
We started as collectors who loved the hobby, then quickly realized that in order to enjoy it even more, we had to sell as well as collect in order to keep buying more of the cards we love. We never dreamed that we would have the privilege of calling the hobby we love our career. Collectively, we have sold millions of dollars in cards and comics, and the very need of having our own outlet arose which brought to life… CIA Auctions.
We take great care in being extremely accurate in grading raw conditions, listing accuracy, prompt shipments, and high customer satisfaction ratings. Here you are family, and you come first.
Welcome, and enjoy!
I’ve consigned multiple cards with Collector Investor Auctions and the experience has been outstanding. Their auctions consistently deliver strong final sales prices, and the low consignor fees make a real difference compared to other platforms. What really sets them apart is the speed and professionalism. The payment arrives just two days after the auction closes, which is almost unheard of in the hobby. On top of that, their customer service is exceptional; communication is clear, responsive, and they genuinely care about helping consignors get the best results. If you’re looking for a reliable place to sell high-quality cards, Collector Investor Auctions is an easy choice.
As a buyer of vintage sports cards, I have found CIA auctions to be accurate, reliable, and professional.
They understand the needs of buyers like me and provide clear images, descriptions, and quick shipping which makes purchasing cards easy, fun and safe.
All of the cards I have purchased have continuously met or exceeded my expectations and I look forward the next auction.
Just great cards and a great team behind them!
I also submitted some cards on consignment.
This is the first time in over 40 years that I have tried to sell cards, and my knowledge of the selling process was limited (to say the least).
David and Jeremy know the selling end, and they were super helpful, so we worked together to best present the cards for auction that resulted in a super return.
Without their help I would never have sold my cards for amount they we did, and I am excited to see what else I can find worth selling. I even had them grade a Hulk Hogan RC for me that got a PSA 8!
Kudos to CIA auctions and thanks for the help!
I have followed Snowman ( Jeremy ), for a couple of years on YouTube , on Chris’s Collector , Investor , Dealer site . Love their contents and always look forward to the next one !
I actually first met the Snowman at a large CardShow in Nashville, Tennessee, in October of 2024 . I introduced myself and told him how much I enjoyed , his and Chris , and their YouTube videos.
Snowman and I also discussed the possibilities of future consignments to the CIA Auctions. Snowman reached out to me a couple of times over the next few months ( very professionally and anything but high pressure, to simply discuss possible future consignments ). Well , my 4th consignment with Snowman will be this month and I have been extremely pleased with the results and the way Snowman handles my account and quickly responds to all my texts and occasional Emails, like I am the only and most valuable customer he has !!!
I know he is always busy – but from just one person to another – he is the absolute best !!!
Give him a try – you will not be disappointed !
Although I’ve only known Jeremy Donson for a few short years, I have found him to be an extremely knowledgeable, honest, helpful and caring buyer/seller who goes out of his way to make certain that every transaction is handled with the utmost integrity and efficiency so that all parties involved are happy with the result of the deal. I would trust Jeremy with any amount of money or merchandise, and I can only comfortably say that about a few people. I frequently recommend buyers, sellers and consignors to Jeremy without hesitation. Give him a try, you’ll be happy you did!
Jeremy was great to work with. We did a big deal together and he was a man of his word throughout. If Jeremy said he was gonna do it, he did it. He even cut me a check for some extra stuff I had outside of our deal. I’ve been in the hobby since the 80s and have dealt with my share of scumbags. But not here. It was just a great experience with a good guy. Thanks and good luck with the new venture.
I can not recommend anyone more than Jeremy Donson for all your sports related needs. I have not only dealt with him for years, but consider him a close friend. He is absolutely one of the best in the business. You can trust him completely with all your auction needs.
