Beckett will soon be offering a new platform that allows collectors to keep track of the ups and downs of their card values while connecting with others.
The company announced Monday it had completed a deal to acquire NoXX Technologies, which developed the concept. As a part of the agreement, NoXX CEO and Founder Scott Roskind recently joined Beckett as the company’s Chief Visionary Officer.
NoXX’s software will input cards into a portfolio, which will track value based on Beckett’s pricing data. Collectors can input cards from their collections and will be offered information about them as well as recommendations for cards they might want to consider owning.
There’s a social element that will enable connections with other collectors online for chat or making deals. Beckett sees NoXX as an “all in one” space.
“The acquisition of NoXX is one more important step in our creation of the industry’s digital leading platform,” said Kunal Chopra, CEO of Beckett. “We want to build a central location to connect collectors and give them every tool they need—and the NOXX Technologies’ product suite as well as its talent will help us do that.”
The software will recognize a graded card when an image is taken. Collectors can also add multiple cert numbers of graded cards at one time. Specific details can be added, too, including where and when an item was purchased.
