2

Set up

Collectors build their profile and collection. Stores are verified, then set up their store, branding and public profile.

3

Engage

Post to your wall, run play events, message directly, track collections and allocate limited stock โ€” all from one app.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it free to sign up?

Yes โ€” creating a collector account is free. Store accounts are verified by our team before activation.

What's the difference between a store and a collector account?

Collectors track their collection, follow stores, join events and put themselves forward for stock. Stores get the full management toolkit โ€” inventory, orders, staff, play events, walls and fair stock allocation for their community.

Can stores control who follows them?

Absolutely. Each store chooses between open following (anyone can follow instantly) or approval mode (the store approves each follower), and can auto-follow every new collector.

How does stock allocation stay fair?

Stores allocate limited releases weighted by attendance or how much a player has played, can hand-pick recipients directly, and can keep outcomes public or private. Collectors can also put themselves forward to be considered.

Is my data private?

Yes. Every account is its own isolated space โ€” stores never see each other's data, and collector profiles are private by default with an explicit opt-in to appear in the community directory.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes โ€” it's a progressive web app. Add it to your home screen from Safari or Chrome and it behaves like a native app, with layouts optimised for phones and tablets.
