Real deals, real structure

Funding in action.

Real examples of how a Card Partners deal comes together — from streamer case funding to raw card opportunities and fast short-term bridges. Every opportunity is structured individually and agreed in writing before capital is committed.

Example 01 · Live breaks

Streamer case funding

Card Partners deployed $200,000 into an approved streamer’s purchasing pool to help fund sealed product for upcoming breaks.

$200kCapital deployed
$3,865Avg cost / unit
$8,300Avg revenue / unit
$310Funding fee / unit

The first eight cases purchased on pre-order were Topps Signature. The streamer paid an average of $3,865 per unit and generated an average of $8,300 per unit through their live streams.

For the full financing of each unit, Card Partners charged the streamer $310 per unit. Once the product was broken and revenue was collected, the streamer repaid Card Partners, and the funds were added back to their available credit line for future purchases.

This structure allowed the streamer to buy more product, run more breaks, and continue scaling without tying up all of their own cash.

Example 02 · High upside

Raw card opportunity

Card Partners received a funding request from a newly approved card buyer who is also one of our funded streamers.

$5,400Both cards purchased
$149Grading / card
~4 wksPSA turnaround
Up to $17.3kPSA 10 upside

One of the buyer’s clients brought him two raw cards:

2025 Topps Chrome Jayden Daniels True Black Auto /10Purchase price: $3,100
  • PSA 9 estimated value: $6,000
  • PSA 10 estimated value: $10,500
2025 Topps Chrome Jayden Daniels True Black Auto /30Purchase price: $2,300
  • PSA 9 estimated value: $4,200
  • PSA 10 estimated value: $6,800

Both cards appeared to be in excellent condition and had strong grading upside. Expedited PSA grading was estimated at $149 per card, with an expected turnaround time of approximately four weeks.

Because this was the buyer’s first transaction with Card Partners, the deal required approval. Future purchases under a certain dollar amount may not require additional approval, while larger deals will continue to be reviewed before funding.

This partner has a specific strategy of buying quarterbacks during the offseason and has had success with this approach. Card Partners agreed with the opportunity, funded the purchase, and is currently waiting for the cards to be graded and for the NFL season to begin.

Example 03 · Fast bridge

Short-term deal funding

Card Partners received an urgent request from one of our streamer partners after a major card was pulled during a live stream.

$165kPurchase price
$200kBuyer lined up
$35kGross spread
A few daysCapital deployed

The customer who pulled the card was willing to sell it for $165,000. The streamer already had another buyer lined up at $200,000, creating a fast and profitable flip.

The problem was timing. The streamer did not have enough available liquidity to immediately wire or PayPal the $165,000 purchase price.

Card Partners stepped in, funded the payment to the original customer, collected payment from the final buyer, and then paid the streamer their profit after deducting a small funding percentage.

Because the capital was only deployed for a few days, the structure was simple, fast, and efficient. The streamer was able to complete the deal, the customer was paid quickly, and Card Partners helped bridge the gap between opportunity and execution.
