Our take
TCGplayer has established itself as the leading US marketplace for collectible card games like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! The company has found success through focusing on emphasising the entire customer experience of passionate enthusiasts through multiple community-focused products such as ‘Direct’, a local-store purchasing platform.
Technology has allowed the company to scale at such low-cost that it can facilitate the authentication of more than 100,000 products every day, dramatically improving the experience of enthusiasts used to dealing with scammers. The company has now expanded to serve the wider collectibles market, and in 2022 was acquired by eBay for $295 Million - though it continues to operate its trading-card marketplace autonomously.
