Graded grail cards, held in vault and put to work
150,000+ cards across Pokémon, One Piece, Magic and sports. We supply pack-opening platforms and trade partners, and we pay collectors to keep their grails with us.
Platforms
We hold the cards. You run the platform
Grail Collective supplies the inventory behind pack-opening and card-trading platforms, and handles everything physical: intake, authentication, storage, insurance and delivery to the end buyer. We also supply hobby shops, breakers and distributors at trade pricing.
We work with a small number of verified platforms and trade partners. Every application is reviewed.
Card prices are passed through. Our fees are for the service around them: handling, storage, insurance and delivery, quoted per partner and set out in the service agreement.
Consign
Your grails keep working while they sit in the vault
Consign a card to Grail Collective and it stays yours. We store it insured, keep it on the market, and put it to work in partner pack-opening platforms. You earn most of what it generates, and a premium above market when it finally sells.
It stays yours
A card is sold only when a buyer pays to take delivery. Until then it is your property, in our vault, under your name.
It earns while it waits
Your card is lent to partner platforms. Every time it is pulled and sold back, it generates revenue, and most of that goes to you.
It sells for more
When a buyer takes delivery, you are paid 10 to 30% above market price.
+10–30% at saleYou can list the card elsewhere at the same time. Ask for it back and it is released within 72 hours, with notice.
We propose a list price from recent completed sales. You confirm or counter, and you can set a floor.
Stored in top-tier third-party vaults in the United States and verified against the grading company's records on intake.
No storage, insurance or intake charges. You earn, you don't pay. Payout timing and release terms are set out in the consignment agreement.

We also buy outright. Submit the card and we reply with an offer within three business days. Paid once the card is verified.
How your card earns
Pulled, sold back, pulled again. You get paid every time
Partner platforms sell digital packs backed by real cards. When a buyer pulls your card, they can take delivery or sell it back instantly for a set share of its value. Most sell back, so the card stays in the vault and the cycle repeats. Every cycle generates revenue, and most of it is paid to you as the owner.
The card leaves the vault only when a buyer chooses to take delivery. That is the moment it counts as sold, and the moment you receive market price plus your premium.
On a card that gets pulled often, this adds up to a return no binder, safe or vault will ever pay. It depends on demand for your card and is not guaranteed.
The revenue split and the payout schedule are set out in your consignment agreement. Grail Collective is a card dealer and custodian. Partner platforms run their own products and are responsible for them.

FAQ
Common questions
Something else? Write to partners@grailcollective.com
Who can buy from Grail Collective?
Approved trade partners. We don't run a public storefront. Businesses and qualified private buyers can apply for an account, and every application is reviewed by our partnerships team.
Why aren't prices listed?
Grail-level cards are priced on grade, population and timing, so we quote partners directly. The value bands on this page are a guide. Live pricing is available in the partner portal once your account is open.
How are cards authenticated?
Graded cards are checked against the grading company's certification database on intake. Raw cards are inspected by our team and can be sent for grading on request.
Where are the cards stored?
In insured, top-tier third-party vaults in the United States. Partners can hold purchased cards in the vault or have them shipped directly to their own customers.
How long does an application take?
Most applications receive a decision within 5–7 business days. Shortlisted applicants are asked for business verification documents before an account is opened.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Partners can arrange insured shipping to most countries. Duties and import taxes depend on the destination and are confirmed before dispatch.
Who owns my card while it is in the vault?
You do. A consigned card is yours until a buyer pays to take delivery. If it is pulled and sold back on a partner platform, it has not been sold; it is still your card and still in the vault.
How does my card earn while it sits?
It is lent to partner pack-opening platforms. Every time it is pulled and sold back, revenue is generated, and most of it is paid to you. The split is set out in your agreement.
How is the price set?
We propose a list price built from recent completed sales of the same card and grade. You confirm or counter, and you can set a floor below which it will not sell.
Can I sell it elsewhere at the same time?
Yes. Nothing stops you listing it elsewhere. If you need the card back, give notice and it is released within 72 hours.
When and how am I paid?
By bank transfer, on the schedule set out in your consignment agreement.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. There are no storage, insurance or intake fees for graded cards. You earn, you don't pay.
Do you buy raw, ungraded cards?
Yes, for vintage and high-value modern cards in strong condition. Submit them through the consignment form with clear photos of the front and back.
