Our Origin Story

CardChain was born when a father and son's shared passion for innovation collided with the outdated practices of the $13.3B sports card market. As passionate collectors ourselves, we've experienced firsthand the major pain points in the industry:

  • Frustrating 30+ day waits for professional grading
  • Excessive transaction fees eating up to 15% of sales
  • The constant threat of counterfeits undermining market trust
