# Professional Vaulting

> Climate-controlled, insured storage for every card you own — with instant CatchBack offers, marketplace listing, and shipping all available from your vault

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

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Hold in the vault" icon="vault">
    Keep the card stored and insured for as long as you want. There's no holding fee, no time limit, and no decay.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Accept a CatchBack offer" icon="bolt">
    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).
  </Card>

  <Card title="List on the marketplace" icon="store">
    List the card for sale at a fixed price or as a CatchBack Auction. Sells through our \$1-fee marketplace.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Ship to yourself" icon="truck">
    Request physical shipment of the card to your address. Tracked and insured in transit.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

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.
