Option #2: You do all the Work
January 12, 2008
Our second option that we offer is you purchase the holders from us and blank labels. You do all the work. Your minimum order is 500 holders per order. This option gives you ultimate control of your own business. Once the holder are purchased they are shipped out the next day and everything else is left up to you.
Note:** for this option you will need to purchase an Ultrasonic welder to seal the holders. A horn that fits our parts and an air compressor for the welder. The outlay can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 depending on which machine is purchased. We do not sell the machines but if you choose this option we can give you all the details of who does sell these units.
This is the more expensive option but if you would like to do on sight grading this option is available.

This has been the option of choice for many of our current customers that have decided to open their own business. They have chosen this option for one of a couple of reasons. Here is how it works.
1. You grade the cards and then send them to us to do the rest.
2. You play a flat fee.
3. We receive the cards and than add your company logo, create the proper label with Player, manufacturer, and card details. Once this process is finished the cards are than encapsulated.
4. After the encapsulation process were the holders are welded shut. The cards are shipped back to you. This process takes 5 business days.
The benefits of this option are simple.
1. No initial money outlay accept first order fee.
2. Cards are shipped back within 5 business day from the day we recieve them.
3. Card labels are branded with your company information so you can take submissions from your own customers or have your own cards graded for resale.
