How The Cage Works

In Hand Before Preview.

The Cage is not a wish list or a coming-soon teaser. If a card is showing here, it has already passed intake and it is in The Vault.

01

Accepted and received

The consignor shipped it insured, we signed for it, and it is in our custody. Nothing enters The Cage that is not physically here.

02

Verified and photographed

Certification number checked against the grading company's own database, holder inspected, then photographed in hand by D&B.

03

On public preview

You can see it, study the photos, and add it to your watchlist. You cannot bid yet. The watcher count is public, so everyone sees the interest building.

04

The doors open

At the time D&B sets, the whole drop moves into live auction. Everyone watching gets an alert the moment it happens.

Why We Do It This Way
If you are buying

Time to decide

A week to study the photos, check comps, and set your maximum — instead of a snap judgment against a countdown. Nobody bids their best on a card they met thirty seconds ago.

If you are consigning

An audience on day one

Your card starts gaining watchers before the auction goes live. More eyes. More interest. More competition when bidding opens.

For everyone

Demand you can see

Watch counts are public. You can tell how contested a lot is likely to be before you commit a single dollar to it.

Want In the Next Drop?

Submissions for The Cage close a week before it opens. Accepted cards need to be in our hands with time to verify and photograph them.
