Donate a card
Sending in a slab you do not want
Post in a graded card, it gets photographed, staged and auctioned, and your name goes on the lot.
- 01
Tell us what it is
The form takes the card, the grade and the certification number. Nothing is committed at this point and no address is exchanged in either direction.
- 02
It gets looked up
The certification number is checked against the grader's own database, and the card is priced. Cards that book under $25 are exactly the population wanted here — grading one costs about $80, which is the joke and also the point.
Every cert number shown on a lot is public. Don't take our word for it — look any of them up yourself.

Postage instructions come back
By email, to the address on the form. You pay the postage — that is the part that makes a donation cost something, and it is the only contribution that leaves you with less than you started.
- 04
It goes on the stage
Photographed in its slab, listed with its certification number, and credited to whoever sent it. Donated lots stock the auctions without spending a cent of fees.
Prizes are never sold for cash. A donated card goes to whoever wins it, or stays in the vault.
