Having dove deeeeep into sports cards recently it was so obvious i needed to invest in alt (and thank god they took me when I begged). They solve so many of the pain points in investing in cards. I have sent basically all of my cards there, and the value isn’t just with the front end of the product. The vaulting of the cards, the handling of the mail in and out and all the logistics that come with. And the team is so special. Have learned so much from all of them. Can’t wait to see what comes next for the company.

I'm psyched to see Alt launch to the world today and super proud for First Round to be an early investor and supporter. The entire alternative asset market has changed dramatically over the past few years and Alt is going to help drive the next inflection point. @bavidar and his team have created the easiest way in the world to buy and sell sports cards and can't wait for everyone to be able to give it a try.

I went from checking Coinbase first thing in the morning to checking Alt first thing. Never going back to excel ;-)

As someone who has no experience with alternative assets trading whatsoever, this is quite intriguing to see that apparently there’s a large enough market around sports carts that motivated you to build a platform around it. How does safe storage for physical assets work on your platform?
Leore Avidar
@kaustin Hi KayeCee, great question! We have a Vault where all cards are secured in the highest quality secure storage facility in the industry. They are fully insured while in the Vault and when being shipped out of the Vault. We charge a small fee for this service but it allows our customers to have peace of mind that their high-value assets are safe with us. While you can outtake from the Vault at any time, many of our customers like the ability to view and share their collection digitally rather than keep them stored in the safety deposit box or in the attic

Brilliant! I've been interested in investing into collectible cards, but didn't know where to start. This will help. One little pet peeve, why are you asking me to sign up before I even have a chance explore your website?
Alexis Ohanian
@stuart_wilson4 we had to limit just because of demand but it'll be opening up much more to show before you commit 😃 I generally agree with that product pet peeve
