Access to product shouldn't be limited by access to capital.

In the collectibles business, some of the best opportunities move fast.

You may have access to a great allocation, a large collection, a discounted case purchase, or inventory you know you can sell — but your capital is already tied up in other product.

That's where Card Partners comes in.

We provide qualified businesses and collectible professionals with additional purchasing power so they can take advantage of opportunities without having to fund every purchase themselves.

More capital means more inventory.
More inventory means more opportunities to make money.

We work with experienced operators across the collectibles industry — anyone with legitimate access to product and an established way to sell it.

01

Streamers & breakers

Your ability to stream shouldn't be limited by how much inventory you can afford to purchase.

Card Partners can provide the capital to purchase cases, boxes, and other sealed product so you can keep breaking, keep selling, and continue growing your business.

We fund the product. You focus on selling it.

02

Card shops & dealers

Great inventory doesn't always show up when you have cash sitting around.

Whether it's a collection walking into your store, an allocation from a supplier, a large card purchase, or an opportunity at a show, we can give qualified dealers additional purchasing power to make the deal.

Don't pass on good inventory because your capital is tied up somewhere else.

03

Wholesalers & distributors

More purchasing power can mean larger orders, better opportunities, and more inventory to offer your customers.

Card Partners works with qualified wholesalers and distributors who need additional capital to purchase and move collectible inventory.

04

Resellers & industry pros

Not everyone in the collectibles business fits neatly into one category.

You might be a middleman with access to product. You might source inventory directly from dealers. You might sell online, at shows, through social media, or to other businesses.

We're less concerned with what you call yourself and more interested in three things:

Can you source the product?
Can you sell the product?
Can you turn the capital?

If the answer is yes, we want to talk.

See if you qualify

A simple cycle built around the way inventory actually moves through the collectibles industry.

1

You find the opportunity

Identify the product or inventory you want to purchase through a supplier, distributor, dealer, wholesaler, manufacturer, or other approved source.

2

We provide the capital

Once approved, Card Partners provides purchasing power based on your business, experience, sales volume, and funding needs.

3

You sell the product

Stream it. Break it. Retail it. Wholesale it. Flip it.

You keep operating your business while using Card Partners' capital to increase the amount of inventory you can purchase and sell.

4

You pay us back

Repay the amount funded plus the agreed-upon fee according to the terms of your transaction or funding program.

5

Do it again

Our goal isn't to fund one transaction — we want to become your long-term capital partner.

As your business grows and you establish a track record with Card Partners, your purchasing capacity can grow with you.

Two ways we put capital to work.

Most funding falls into one of two programs: inventory purchasing for sealed product, and capital for individual raw and graded card opportunities.

Whether you need funding for cases and boxes, a collection walking through the door, or a single card with real resale upside, we help bridge the gap between seeing the opportunity and having the capital to act on it.

Live breaks

Streamer case & box funding

For established streamers and breakers, Card Partners helps fund sealed cases, boxes, and other approved inventory so you can keep your breaks moving without tying up all of your own cash.

Once approved, streamers can access a dedicated purchasing process and approved credit line for eligible vendors and products. You focus on buying, breaking, and growing your audience — we help back the product.

High upside

Raw & graded card opportunity funding

Card Partners also funds individual card opportunities for qualified buyers, dealers, and collectors.

A graded card with strong resale potential? A raw card that looks like a clear PSA 9 or possible PSA 10? A quick flip that needs fast funding? Card Partners can help provide the capital and partner with you on the upside.

You find the product. We provide the capital.

If you have the access, the relationships, and the ability to move product, Card Partners can help you buy more of it.

Real deals we've structured — so the concept is tangible. Every opportunity is agreed in writing before any capital is committed.

Live breaks

Streamer case funding

$200kCapital deployed

We deployed $200,000 into an approved streamer’s purchasing pool for sealed breaks — roughly $3,865 cost per unit against ~$8,300 revenue per unit.

High upside

Jayden Daniels raw cards

Up to $17.3kPSA 10 upside

We funded two 2025 Topps Chrome Jayden Daniels True Black autos for $5,400 — both with strong grading upside and a clear offseason resale strategy.

Fast bridge

Short-term flip

$35kGross spread

A card pulled live sold for $165k with a $200k buyer already lined up. We bridged the gap in a few days so the streamer never missed the deal.

Built for collectibles.

Traditional lenders don't always understand this business.

  • They don't understand allocations.
  • They don't understand breaking.
  • They don't understand why $100,000 of product purchased today might be sold within days of delivery.

We do.

Card Partners was created specifically around the way inventory moves through the collectibles industry.

We understand that access to capital can be the difference between watching an opportunity pass by and taking advantage of it.

Capital should help you grow — not slow you down.

You shouldn't have to choose between buying today's opportunity and keeping enough cash available for tomorrow's. Card Partners gives qualified operators another source of purchasing power.

Use your relationships.Use your expertise.Use your customers.Use our capital.

Card Partners considers opportunities involving:

  • Sports cards
  • Trading cards
  • Pokémon and TCG products
  • Sealed cases and boxes
  • Manufacturer and distributor allocations
  • Collections and bulk inventory
  • Dealer-to-dealer transactions
  • Wholesale inventory
  • Other collectible products

Have an opportunity that doesn't fit one of these categories? Tell us about it.

Real sealed product we've funded — from mega boxes to high-end hobby cases. When an allocation lands or a release drops, we move on it fast.

If access to capital is keeping you from buying more product, Card Partners wants to hear from you.

About Card Partners.

Card Partners was created to solve a real problem in the collectibles business: great opportunities often move faster than available capital.

Streamers, breakers, card shops, dealers, wholesalers, distributors, and resellers see opportunities every day. Sealed cases and boxes, allocations, collections, bulk inventory, and single cards with real resale upside can all create real profit. But without the right capital partner, many of those opportunities are missed.

That is where Card Partners comes in.

We provide purchasing capital to qualified businesses and collectible professionals who know the market, understand the product, and have access to strong opportunities. Our goal is not just to fund one purchase. Our goal is to become a long-term capital partner as those businesses grow.

We believe the best partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and performance. Every deal is structured upfront, every opportunity is reviewed, and every partner understands the terms before capital is committed.

You bring

the access, the relationships, and the opportunity.

We bring

the capital, structure, and support to help make it happen.

Built by entrepreneurs who understand capital

Card Partners was built by entrepreneurs who understand what it takes to grow a business when opportunity moves faster than available capital.

Founder Marcus Stern spent more than 25 years building one of the largest secondary ticket businesses in the country, deploying hundreds of millions of dollars annually into time-sensitive inventory opportunities.

That experience led to Card Partners.

We saw the same challenge across the collectibles industry: successful operators consistently have more opportunities than available capital.

Card Partners was created to solve that problem — providing qualified partners with the capital to buy more inventory, take advantage of opportunities, and grow their businesses without tying up all of their own cash.

We provide the capital. You focus on the opportunity.

The founder behind Card Partners.

Marcus Stern

Founder

Marcus is an entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience building and scaling businesses around inventory, capital, and fast-moving opportunities. As co-founder of Anytickets.com, he helped build one of the largest secondary ticket businesses in the country, deploying hundreds of millions of dollars annually into event inventory.

He founded Card Partners around a simple idea: successful streamers and card buyers shouldn't have to pass on great opportunities simply because their capital is tied up elsewhere.

Established breakers with a consistent stream, a real audience, and a history of moving product. We look at your track record and the specific opportunity — not follower counts alone.

How is the profit split decided?

Every opportunity is structured before any funds are committed, so both parties know exactly how the deal works in advance.

Streamer Case Funding

CARD Partners provides the capital to purchase your cases and boxes so you can focus on growing your business.

Once the product is sold, you simply repay the original cost of the product plus an agreed-upon funding fee. Everything you earn above those amounts is yours to keep.

Our goal is simple: help established streamers scale their business without tying up their own capital.

Raw & Graded Card Opportunities

Every card opportunity is different, which is why every partnership is structured individually.

We consider several factors when determining the profit split, including:

  • The amount of capital required
  • How long our capital will be committed
  • Whether the card is a quick flip or requires grading
  • The level of risk involved
  • The expected upside
  • The buyer’s experience and track record

For short-term opportunities where our capital may only be committed for a day or two, the buyer who sources the deal will typically receive the larger share of the profits. Opportunities that require grading, longer holding periods, or involve additional risk generally have a more balanced profit split.

Qualified buyers can earn up to 80% of the net profit, depending on the opportunity.

Every partnership is agreed upon in writing before any funds are deployed, ensuring complete transparency and alignment between CARD Partners and our buying partners.

Sealed cases and boxes for live breaks, plus raw and graded singles with clear resale upside. If there is a defensible reason it will sell for more than it costs, we want to hear about it.

Streamer Case Funding

Once you're approved as a CARD Partners streamer, you'll be assigned a dedicated purchasing account and an approved credit line.

Your credit line can be used immediately with our approved distributors and vendors to purchase eligible cases and boxes. For normal inventory purchases, no additional approvals are required, allowing you to buy product as opportunities arise.

If you're planning a purchase outside of your normal buying activity or outside your approved limits, a quick review by your CARD Partners account representative may be required before the purchase is authorized.

Our goal is to keep you buying, not waiting for approvals.

Completely. We are a capital partner, not a manager. You run your breaks and your community your way — we simply back the inventory.

Every business is different. We're interested in building relationships ranging from individual inventory opportunities to substantial recurring purchasing programs.

When you apply, tell us:

  • What you buy.
  • Where you buy it.
  • How much you purchase.
  • Where you sell it.
  • How quickly you turn it.
  • How much additional purchasing power would help you grow.

We'll take it from there.

Your relationships. Your expertise. Our capital.

The collectibles industry is built around relationships and access. You know the products. You know the customers. You know where the opportunities are.

Card Partners provides the capital to help you take advantage of them.

We're not trying to run your business. We're here to help you fund it.

Have access to product?
