How a verified deal works

Every item authenticated in Texas

1

Agree and pay

Agree on a trade, a cash purchase, or both. If cash is involved, the buyer pays now: our fees come out and the seller's share is held in the seller's own Stripe account.

2

We call to confirm

We call both sides to confirm the mailing address, every item and the deal terms. Calls are recorded.

3

Ship to us, we authenticate

Both sides ship to our Plano, Texas desk with tracking. We inspect and photograph every item and check graded items' certificate numbers.

4

Delivered, then paid

We ship each item to its new owner with tracking. The seller is paid when tracking confirms delivery. If something fails, it goes back and the buyer is refunded.
