What Graded really is
The exchange for tokenized collectibles
Trade cards directly with other collectors — the best selection and prices on the market.
We're building the financial rails for an entire asset class.
Turn collectibles into a real asset class
Collectibles are one of the largest asset classes on earth — and one of the least liquid. Prices are opaque, authentication is a guessing game, and settling a single sale can take weeks of escrow, shipping, and trust in a stranger.
Graded fixes that. We aggregate the entire market into one place and let collectors trade their tokenized holdings directly with each other — with live valuations, trustless swaps, and settlement that clears in seconds instead of weeks.
Our mission is to give collectibles the speed, transparency, and liquidity of modern financial markets — without ever losing what makes them worth collecting in the first place.
Market infrastructure for collectors
The pieces that turn a hobby market into a real exchange.
One market, real prices
We pull every listing across eBay, Collector Crypt, Phygitals, and Courtyard into a single order book — so you see the true market price, not one platform's asking price.
Authenticity you don't have to trust
Every card lives in a world-class vault — Brinks, PSA Vault, or PWCC — fully authenticated and insured. No counterfeits, no chargebacks, no taking a stranger's word for it.
Settlement in seconds
Trades clear on-chain the moment they happen. Buy, sell, or swap peer-to-peer with escrow built in, and take a live market-maker bid any time you want out.
The physical is always yours
The token is a deed, not a substitute. Redeem any card whenever you want and we ship the real slab to your door.
Built by collectors, for collectors
Pat Manfra
Founder
Before Graded, Pat founded and ran the portfolio at Outlet Finance — one of the first crypto-powered neobanks in the world. By 2020, Outlet was moving hundreds of millions in stablecoin volume and assets under management, and Pat had raised millions in venture funding as an early pioneer in DeFi.
A diehard collector since 2019, Pat turned his full attention to the asset class after Outlet wound down in 2022. Graded is where both lives meet: the financial infrastructure of DeFi, built for the collectibles he loves.
