What we do
Three products.
One standard.
Whether you have a precise want list, a single grail target, or a budget and a brief - the process is the same. Agree everything upfront, execute within those rules, deliver with full documentation.
SHOW RUNNER
You have a list.
We fill it.
Singles, slabs, or both.
For collectors with want lists - set fillers, deck lists, binder upgrades, or a mix of singles and slabs. Submit your list, we agree max prices and conditions upfront, then we source at shows and online, negotiate on your behalf, and consolidate everything into one shipment.
The itemised statement shows every purchase, every price paid, and everything we saved through negotiation.

CONCIERGE SOURCING
You have a specific target.
We find it.
Exact card, grade, condition.
For collectors hunting a specific card, set number, or grade. Anything where the condition is non-negotiable and the wrong copy isn't acceptable - vintage raw, grail slabs, grade-sensitive pieces.
We research the market, locate the best available copy, inspect it in hand or verify the slab before purchase, and photograph it before it ships.

Right for you if
You have a specific card in mind - exact set number, grade, or variant - and you'd rather not settle for a close copy. Condition is non-negotiable and the sourcing process matters as much as the card itself.
SHOW RUNNER
You have a budget.
We build the box.
Scarcity-led curation within agreed guardrails.
A curated build for collectors who want a coherent selection without doing the hours of research, comp-checking, and condition risk themselves. You set the brief. We handle the curation, sourcing, and documentation.
This is not financial advice. It's a standards-led buying service. Every card is chosen because market reading and scarcity analysis say it's right for your brief.
