Cardboard Ca$h
Make payments with your TCGs. Sell a card, get dollars in your balance, and spend them anywhere — all in one app.
The idea
Your binder is a bank account.
Collectors are sitting on billions of dollars in graded cards — real value that’s slow to sell and impossible to spend. Cardboard Cash changes that. Your graded cards live as vault-backed digital assets, priced in real time. The moment one sells, the money is in your balance — no eBay wait, no payout hold, no bank transfer shuffle. It’s ready to spend on groceries, gas, or your next chase card.
How it works
Three steps from slab to swipe.
No seed phrases. No crypto homework. If you can use a banking app, you can use Cardboard Cash.
Load your cards
Sign in with your email — a secure wallet is built in. Load your vaulted, graded cards, each backed 1:1 by the real slab in insured storage.
Sell when you’re ready
See live pricing on every card. Tap Sell — the moment it sells, the money lands in your balance automatically. Sold means spendable.
Spend it anywhere
Pay with your virtual card anywhere Visa is accepted, or cash out straight to your bank. Your collection just became purchasing power.
Why pay with cards?
Because your cards are already money.
Graded cards have everything an asset needs — verified authenticity, transparent pricing, and a global market that trades around the clock. The only thing missing was a way to actually use that value. Until now.
◈ Real assets, real backing
Every digital card is matched 1:1 to a physical, professionally graded card in an insured vault. You can even redeem the real slab and have it shipped to you — this isn’t a points system, it’s your property.
⚡ Sold means spendable
Traditional selling means listing fees, shipping anxiety, and waiting a week for a payout to clear. Here, settlement is automatic — the moment your card sells, the dollars are sitting in your balance.
$ Keep more of every sale
Marketplace fees on the big auction sites eat 13% or more of your card’s value. Selling through on-chain rails costs a fraction of that — more of your Charizard stays your money.
◎ One place, not five
No juggling a marketplace, a payment processor, an exchange, and a bank. Your collection, your balance, and your card live in a single app that feels like the payment apps you already use.
