ABOUT LORE
BUILT FOR TRADING CARDS.
Your collection holds the characters, worlds and stories you love. LORE is built around them. LORE brings that dedicated collector focus to grading—with more scrutiny, clearer presentation and protection that follows the card.
Trading cards. No exceptions.
CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR TCG COLLECTORS.
WE HAVE YOUR BACK.
WE HAVE YOUR BACK.
Collectors should not have to watch important trading cards wait behind unrelated trading-card categories. LORE was opened for the TCG collector. We take the time to inspect the card carefully, record it clearly, protect its identity and return it on a guaranteed timeline—so your prized possessions are back in your hands.
THE LORE DIFFERENCE
More than a grade.
Exact-Card Digital Fingerprint
Every LORE Gem Mint 10 and 10 Gold Legendary receives a permanent digital identity created from recorded imagery and distinguishing physical characteristics.
Permanent Verification
Front-and-back imagery, certification ID and QR verification connect the holder to its permanent LORE record. Lower grades retain QR and certification verification.
Guaranteed Timelines
A clear completion date follows the order, so collectors can see where every card is and when it is due back.
Presentation With Presence
Clear holders, confident labels and the approved LORE acrylic stand let the original card artwork remain the focus.
Protection Beyond the Slab
Clear labeling, recorded imagery and layered identity checks are designed to make verification easier and cloning harder.
Your card deserves our full attention.
Stringent grading. Better presentation. Stronger verification. Guaranteed timelines. Dedicated to trading card games and collectibles.

Authentication process and published comparisons
Authentication behind the presentation
| What to compare | LORE planned process | Published competitor practice |
|---|---|---|
| Physical authenticity | Identity, printing, stock, dimensions and alteration checks; unresolved concerns escalated before a numerical grade. | PSA authenticates before grading. CGC's guarantee states inspection by at least two professionals. PSA · CGC |
| Human condition review | Separate initial assessments, senior resolution of disagreements and recorded reasons. | Compare each provider's documented process; review-count or accuracy superiority is not established by this table. |
| Label and holder | Distinctive metallic presentation, prominent card details and a final card-to-label identity check. | PSA publishes LightHouse label features including optical effects, UV patterns and anti-washing ink. PSA security |
| Verification | Planned certification images and notes; exact-card fingerprint planned for eligible 10 and 10 Gold cards. | PSA and CGC offer certificate lookup and images; TAG offers digital grading reports. PSA · CGC · TAG |

Do I choose a separate membership for each realm?
No. There is one LORE Gold Founders Club, capped at 500 members across the platform.
Does Gold Founders membership guarantee a Gold 10?
No. Only your card earns its grade. A Founder’s card can receive an 8, a 9, a 10, or another grade based on its condition. Membership never changes grading standards.
Are my first ten cards included in the membership fee?
No. The scheduled inaugural allocation costs $1,000 for ten cards, separate from membership. The regular Founder rate is $75 per eligible card for three years.
When does the turnaround clock start?
