The Collection Accelerator

“Turn your $10k+ card collection into a self-funding asset — we find the money you’re leaving on the table, or you don’t pay.”

Who This Is For

You have done the work. You follow the influencers. You are in the Discords. You watch the charts. And you have noticed something.

Every influencer tells you what already happened. Something spiked — they talk about the spike. Something crashed — they talk about the crash. By the time it reaches your feed the move is already gone. You are not getting insight. You are getting a recap.

You are building something. A collection that compounds. An asset that grows. Something that in five years, ten years, looks like one of the best financial decisions you ever made — not because you got lucky, but because you made the right calls consistently and had the right person in your corner when it mattered.

You develop your own conviction. You bring it to us. We pressure test it, refine it, and back you when you are right.

This is not a service. It is a long game.

Who This Is NOT For

If you are new to the hobby, still learning what makes a card gradeable, or casually collecting without a clear view of what you want your collection to look like — this is not for you yet. We have free resources built for exactly that stage. Come back when your collection crosses $10,000 and the free content stops being enough.

The Collection Accelerator is for the collector who is already there. If you are still getting value from YouTube and Discord — stay there. Come back when you are not.

The Three Tiers

Tier 1

The Audit   $147/month

“Know your bellwethers. Know your next move.”

  • 2 × 60-minute calls per month
  • Bellwether mapping — the 5–10 cards that signal your collection’s direction
  • Card-by-card conditioning assessment on your specific cards
  • Grade or don’t grade decision — card by card, no guesswork
  • PSA vs BGS vs CGC recommendation based on the card, purpose, and population
  • Portfolio-specific market news — only what is relevant to what you hold
  • Slack access for quick questions between calls

One correct grading decision on a single card covers six months of membership.

Tier 2

The Accelerator   $397/month

“A second pair of eyes on every deal before you spend.”

  • Everything in Tier 1
  • 4 × 60-minute calls per month
  • Text and Slack deal review — send any card before you buy, get a real assessment before you commit
  • Negotiation scripting — exact language for DMs, show floors, Facebook groups, and private sales
  • Buy and sell timing built around what you actually own — not generic market advice
  • Grail acquisition support — sourcing specific targets below market through our network

One deal reviewed correctly pays for the entire year.

Tier 3

The Concierge   $1,997/month

“You collect. We handle everything else.”

  • Everything in Tier 1 and Tier 2
  • Full grading submission management — PSA/BGS/CGC logistics handled end to end
  • Acquisition negotiation on your behalf — you approve the deal, we handle the conversation
  • Off-market sourcing through our private dealer network
  • Annual collection strategy session — what to hold, what to grade, what to liquidate
  • 24-hour response guarantee on all Slack communications

Your app tracks the numbers. We grow them.

The Bonuses

Included with every tier. Built by us. Not available anywhere else.

  • The Grade or Don’t Grade Framework — Our decision system built on current population data, submission costs, and realistic grade outcomes by card type and game.
  • The Counter-Offer Vault — Copy-paste negotiation scripts for DMs, show floors, private treaty, and consignment conversations.
  • The Bellwether Brief — Your personalised guide to the 5–10 cards telling you where your portfolio is heading.

The First Call Guarantee

Worth 3× your first month, or it’s free.

If after your first call you have not received at least 3× the value of your first month’s fee in actionable insight — full refund, no questions asked. At $147 that means one call needs to deliver $441 in value. For anyone with a $10,000+ collection, one avoided grading mistake, one better negotiation, or one correctly timed sale does that inside the first 20 minutes.

Start Here — It’s Free

Before you apply, run the Bellwether Finder. It’s a free 15-minute worksheet that surfaces the handful of cards signalling where your collection is heading. Bring it to your audit call and we’ll go deeper on what they’re telling you.

The Application

This is not a service you sign up for. It is a programme you apply to join. We review every application personally. Not everyone gets in.

  1. What TCGs do you collect and what is your approximate collection value?
  2. What is the single biggest financial mistake you have made with your collection?
  3. What have you already tried to fix it?
