New CSG-PWCC partnership provides vault service for collectors, investors
The Certified Collectibles Group and its trading and sports card experts at CGC Trading Cards and CSG are offering clients the ability to immediately secure newly authenticated and graded cards in the vault at partner PWCC Marketplace.
The new service is part of the partnership formed last year between the Certified Collectibles Group, CSG and PWCC.
“The expansion of our partnership with PWCC translates to a more streamlined process of grading, storing and transacting for collectors,” said Steven R. Eichenbaum, CEO of the Certified Collectibles Group. “PWCC is a trusted source for safely storing and conveniently buying and selling collectibles, and giving our submitters the option to send their certified cards directly to PWCC improves the collector experience.”
The PWCC Vault — located in the sales tax-free state of Oregon — has archived, secured and insured a diverse range of collectibles and physical assets since its launch in 2019. This new partnership provides an immediately accessible vaulting solution for collectors of trading and sports cards.
Collectors submitting assets for authentication and grading simply create a free PWCC account and select “Send to My PWCC Vault” when filling out the CGC Trading Cards or CSG online submission form.
Cards submitted to CGC Trading Cards and CSG will be authenticated, graded, encapsulated and priority shipped to PWCC where they receive high-resolution imaging and are curated into a client’s PWCC Vault Portfolio.
A PWCC Vault Portfolio offers several benefits for collectors and investors, including:
• Real-time insurance valuations and physical security. Assets can be accessed and managed at any time via a digital portfolio featuring high-resolution imaging and PWCC value estimates.
• Auction and fixed-price markets that attract more than 200,000 potential buyers across the platform. Assets in a portfolio can be listed on any market at any time.
• PWCC Capital offers easy-to-use financial offerings using vault assets as collateral, including no-fee cash advances and low-fee asset-backed loans.
“Adding streamlined PWCC vaulting services to CGC Trading Cards and CSG submissions aligns with the goals of both companies to better serve the collecting community,” said Jesse Craig, vice president of sales at PWCC Marketplace. “This vault partnership is exciting because it improves access to security, insurance, marketplaces, and capital offerings for clients and their collections.”
