Every card you pull from a CatchBack pack — and every card you buy on the marketplace — is automatically vaulted in our climate-controlled, insured facility. You don’t have to ship anything. You don’t have to store anything. The card is yours, fully insured, and ready to act on whenever you want.

What gets vaulted automatically

  • Cards pulled from packs — every card from every pack tier
  • Slabs and graded cards purchased on the marketplace
  • Unopened packs held in your inventory before you open them
Submission of your own physical cards is currently in beta for approved users.

What you can do with a vaulted card

Hold in the vault

Keep the card stored and insured for as long as you want. There’s no holding fee, no time limit, and no decay.

Accept a CatchBack offer

Convert the card back to cash or CatchCoins at our perpetual 80% market-value guarantee — or 90% if it’s a fresh pack pull (within 5 minutes of opening).

List on the marketplace

List the card for sale at a fixed price or as a CatchBack Auction. Sells through our $1-fee marketplace.

Ship to yourself

Request physical shipment of the card to your address. Tracked and insured in transit.
The card stays in the vault until you act on it. There are no hidden mandatory windows or auto-expiration. Your decisions, your timing.

What “insured” actually means

Complete collectibles insurance

Our entire vault is covered by a collectibles insurance policy. Every card you own — at any value — is fully protected against loss, damage, or theft while it’s in our facility.

Climate-controlled environment

Cards degrade fast under typical home conditions. We hold the vault at:
  • Stable temperature — prevents expansion, contraction, and material breakdown
  • Managed humidity — prevents warping, curling, and moisture damage
  • Filtered air — no pollutants or UV exposure
The kind of environment professional graders and museums use for high-value collectibles.

24/7 monitored security

Continuous video surveillance with motion alerts and tamper detection. Real-time monitoring with a documented chain of custody for every card from check-in to check-out.

How vaulting fits with the rest of the platform

Vaulting is the foundation that makes everything else on CatchBack work:
  • The 80% CatchBack guarantee is possible because we already hold the card, so we can verify it instantly and pay out without shipping or grading delays.
  • The $1 marketplace fee works because cards transfer digitally between vault entries instead of physically shipping for every trade.
  • CatchBack Auctions can run at full speed because the listed card is already authenticated and in our possession — no “will the seller actually ship it?” risk.
When you do want to take a card out — for a personal collection, a show, or to flip it elsewhere — you request a shipout and we handle the logistics from our end.

Why we built it this way

Trading cards work best when they’re treated like real assets: stored properly, insured, liquid, and easy to value. The vault gives every CatchBack collector the same custodial-grade infrastructure that institutional buyers and serious investors have always had — without the per-card storage fees, the long wait times, or the hassle of shipping cards for every transaction.
