Who We Are
The trading card hobby is built on trust, between collectors, dealers, and sellers. But in the fast-growing repack market, that trust isn’t always guaranteed. Buyers often face uncertainty: Are the cards really as described? Are the values fair? Has the product been tampered with?
Card Trust was founded to change that. We are the first independent certification service designed exclusively for repacks. Our mission is simple: to bring transparency, security, and credibility to every repack on the market.
What We Do
- Authenticate and validate every repack by confirming card legitimacy, aligning contents with checklists published on our website, and providing fair market valuations using trusted data.
- Certify fairness through standardized Quality Tiers (Diamond, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Authentic), with each repack stamped with its price so buyers know the seal represents an accurate valuation.
- Secure products with tamper-evident packaging and a QR code that gives buyers instant access to the official checklist.
- Enable distribution by offering wholesale options to retailers, dealers, and online shops.
- Package and ship efficiently, with customizable, brand-identifying packaging that highlights the repacker’s unique identity.
Our Quality Standards
| Certification Level | Expected Value of MSRP | Chase Cards | Minimum Floor | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond | ≥ 95% | 3+ Cards (≥3% of population for small repacks) |
≥ 40% of MSRP | Our highest standard. Expected value of the checklist is near the cost of the pack. The checklist includes desirable cards and excludes cards generally disliked. High floor values. Very few of repacks will receive this rating. |
| Gold | 85–94% | 2+ (≥2% of population for small repacks) |
≥ 30% of MSRP | A strong customer experience with a strong expected value and mid-to-high level floor value. The top 10-15% of repacks will receive this rating. |
| Silver | 75–84% | 1+ | ≥ 20% of MSRP | Overall expected value and supporting cards are fair. The checklist is balanced with moderate floor values. The top 15-30% of repacks will receive this rating. |
| Bronze | 65–74% | 1+ | ≥ 10% of MSRP | Checklist has been verified for accuracy, overall expected value and supporting cards may be limited. Repacks that are above average will receive this rating. |
| Authentic | < 70% | Not required | No minimum | Baseline integrity. The contents are authentic and match the published checklist. Most repacks will receive this rating. |
Disclaimer: A chase card is generally defined as a card that represents significantly greater value than the MSRP of the repack and is considered highly desirable within the collecting community (e.g., autographs, short prints, rookies & star players). The final determination of what qualifies as a chase card rests solely with Card Trust, based on value, demand, and collector relevance.
Why It Matters
For collectors: Our certification means peace of mind. They know the checklist is accurate, the odds are fair, and the packaging is secure.
For repackers: Our process creates credibility, boosts sales, and provides access to a wider audience.
For distributors: We enable scale by consolidating products, streamlining logistics, and maintaining buyer confidence.
Our Vision
We believe that the future of the repack industry depends on transparency and integrity. By certifying repacks, we make the hobby stronger, fairer, and more accessible for everyone, from the casual buyer to the serious collector.
At Card Trust, we don’t just certify repacks. We certify trust.
