Slab inspection

Each slab is inspected for tampering, and label details are recorded.

Common Questions

Sports Card Loan FAQ

How much can I borrow against graded cards?

Loan-to-value typically ranges from 25% to 75% of the appraised value, based on recent sales of the same card in the same grade. Loans range from $25,000 to $2 million.

Which grading companies do you accept?

PSA, BGS and SGC are preferred. Other graders are reviewed case by case.

Can I borrow against sealed Pokémon product?

Yes, for sealed product with established sales records, after a specialist inspects the seal and packaging.

Will I get the same cards back?

Yes. Every card is recorded by certificate number and photographed before storage, and checked again at return. While a loan is open the record is locked, so nothing can be sold, swapped or pledged twice.

Do you check my credit?

No. The decision is based on the collection, not your credit history or income.

Is the loan non-recourse?

Non-recourse terms are available on qualifying loans, meaning the collection is the lender’s only remedy. Your term sheet states plainly whether your loan is non-recourse.

Can I repay early?

Yes. Generally, there is no prepayment penalty. Repay at any time and your collection is returned or stored with its record intact, ready if you want to borrow again.
