In development · Opening 2027

A marketplace built around grade, not guesswork.

eBay treats comics like garage-sale random. Mercari can’t tell a slab from a sticker. We’re building the alternative: every listing tied to a verified collection entry, cert numbers linked to live CGC/CBCS registries, and fees that don’t punish you for selling your own books.

Founding Collectors ($20/mo) get first access and a permanent 3% fee when it opens.

What’s different about it

01

Every listing is a real catalog entry

Sellers list directly from their tracked collection. No vague titles, no missing issue numbers, no “HUGE LOT MUST SEE” junk. Buyers know exactly what they’re bidding on.

02

Slab certs verified live

CGC and CBCS cert numbers link to the real registry. No more photoshopped grade labels. The slab in the photo is the slab in the listing.

03

Fees that respect collectors

5–8% standard for everyone (vs. eBay’s 12–15% by the time fees stack). Founding Collectors lock in 3% forever — permanently, even after public launch.

04

Built for runs and keys, not Pokémon cards

Search by issue, variant, grade, year, publisher, creator. Filter for newsstand vs. direct. Sort by run-completion gap. The kind of filtering eBay categorically cannot do.
