Global Trading Card Registry

Build Trust Into Every Transaction

Integrate GTCR Into Your Platform

If your marketplace, platform, or app facilitates the sale of graded trading cards, the Global Trading Card Registry (GTCR) can add an independent trust layer directly into your transaction flow.

Through GTCR integration, platforms can automatically perform a Trust Check before a graded card transaction is completed and register eligible, verified purchases after the transaction.

Check Before the Transaction. Register After the Sale.

Before Purchase — Trust Check

Automatically check a graded card against the GTCR before a transaction is completed to identify whether it has been reported lost, stolen, or otherwise flagged within the registry.

After Purchase — Register

When an eligible graded card clears the Trust Check and the transaction is successfully completed, the card can be registered within GTCR, helping create a more complete and trusted record as cards move throughout the hobby.

One Integration. A Stronger Ecosystem.

GTCR integration can help marketplaces and apps:

  • Add an independent trust check to graded-card transactions
  • Help protect buyers and sellers
  • Identify reported lost or stolen cards before a sale is completed
  • Register eligible clean purchases automatically
  • Strengthen provenance and ownership records over time
  • Reduce friction by integrating trust directly into the transaction experience
  • Contribute to a safer, more transparent trading card ecosystem

Trust Should Happen Before the Transaction — Not After Something Goes Wrong.

Every Trust Check strengthens the network. Every registered card makes the ecosystem more useful. And every integrated platform helps create a safer secondary market for collectors.

Register. Verify. Protect. Transfer.™

Independent trust infrastructure for graded trading cards.

The Global Trading Card Registry (GTCR) is an independent informational registry designed to help document and communicate information associated with graded trading cards. GTCR does not determine legal ownership or title, authenticate or grade cards, guarantee the accuracy or completeness of registry information, or replace appropriate due diligence.
