PWCC is partnering with case and box breakers to bring raw cards to market through its platform.
The Oregon-based company has launched its Breaker Network, which allows collectors who pull cards during breaks to have them sent directly to PWCC and placed up for sale through various platforms.
The company has partnered with several breakers with others in line to join in the months ahead. Raw cards can now be shipped directly from Breaker Network partners to PWCC. Among the breakers who have partnered on the deal are Crave, Indy Card Exchange, Jaspy’s, Roadshow Cards, The Coffee Breakers, The Card Plugz and La Fav.
PWCC will provide high resolution images of the cards and the option to have cards authenticated and graded as part of the service.
