Background

Revenue in the Card Games segment amounts to US$5,595m in 2021. The market is expected to grow annually by 5.18% (CAGR 2021–2025).

On EBay, the main secondary market for trading cards, the highest sales increased is Pokemon category with 574% last year. 4 million more cards sold than in 2019 and Pokemon is the most popular.

Counterfeit and market friction

Following this boom in trading cards during 2020, the largest card grading service Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) forced to temporarily closes submissions until July 2021. PSA was receiving over 500,000 cards per business week. It actually can be up to a nine-month wait to get a card graded.

Trading card needs authentication third party to prevent most valuable cards to be counterfeit, this causes the current overwhelm for authentication companies.

This growing market can be improve with less friction. Main secondary market platform does not currently guarantees the authenticity of cards exchanged or sold. Sales are hampered with unverified sellers, counterfeit and scammers. Actually there is no trusty way to instant trade authentic cards online, the lack of trust decreases significantly the market efficiency.
