A marketplace from HaulX LLC
Buy the collection whole.
Collectors list once and price the lot as a single object. You take all of it, or you make an offer on all of it. No listing grind for them. No picked-over remainder for you.
Specimen record. Not a live listing.
Seller-stated market value. Not an appraisal by TCG Bolt.
The problem this exists for
A real collection has 2 bad options.
The middle option, one buyer and one price for the whole thing, barely exists. It needs two strangers to trust each other with several thousand dollars and a box of cardboard that is easy to misrepresent and easy to lose.
TCG Bolt is that middle option. It is a marketplace where trading card collections are sold whole, as one lot. It is not a card shop.
What we do about it
Neither side is asked to go first.
The money is locked
The buyer's payment goes into the seller's own account and freezes there while the collection ships and while the buyer checks it against the manifest. We never hold it ourselves. What we hold is the release.
Every listing is read first
A moderator compares the manifest against the photographs before a listing appears. It is slower than letting anything go live, and it is the reason the manifest means something.
Disputes run on evidence
We decide disputes on what existed beforehand: the manifest, the photographs, the tracking. Not on who argues better.
What we are not
You keep the cards. We hold the release.
We do not own, store, appraise or authenticate cards. The seller has them throughout and ships them directly. Stated market values are the seller's own arithmetic and are labeled as theirs everywhere they appear. Nothing on TCG Bolt is a valuation or investment advice.
We also do not sell single cards, and will not. Cherry-picking is what leaves a seller with an unsellable remainder, and avoiding it is the entire premise.
Sellers photograph their own cards. TCG Bolt never uses publisher card art.
Who runs it
TCG Bolt is operated by HaulX LLC, in Texas. It is small and deliberately so. The queue is read by a person, and the person answers at support@tcgbolt.com.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any card publisher or grading company.
