Dynamics Unveils The Authority™: A Revolutionary E-Commerce Platform for Collectors

Dynamics Inc., a leader in security and technology innovations within the collectibles industry, has introduced The Authority™, the world’s first real-time, vertically integrated, multi-category e-commerce platform for collectibles. This groundbreaking platform allows collectors to vault, purchase, authenticate, grade, sell, and fulfill collectibles within minutes.

In another industry-first, Dynamics has also launched the Universal Public Grading Standard™, providing collectors with clear and consistent grading criteria for the first time. This standard enables collectors to confidently evaluate their items before submission, offering transparency and consistency in the grading process.

“The golden age of collectibles is happening right now,” said Jeffrey Mullen, CEO of Dynamics Inc. “This is a revolutionary ecosystem for collectors across the industry. Collectors will now have full access to the exact criteria behind each grade, enabling them to assess a collectible’s potential with confidence.”

The Authority™ Launches with Over 9 Million Collectibles

The Authority™ has launched with over 9 million vaulted and authenticated collectibles, including trading cards, TCGs (Trading Card Games), comics, and figurines. With this vast inventory, the platform has become the largest authenticated vaulted marketplace in the world. The platform allows collectors to buy, sell, and trade items in a secure environment, offering a unique grading system that ensures consistent and reliable results.

How Items are Added to The Authority™ Platform

1. Instant Transfer from Participating Retailers: By selecting Vault With The Authority™, items are instantly transferred into the user’s Authority account. These items can then be listed for sale in the Authority Marketplace, graded using Reveal Grade™, or shipped directly to the user’s home.
2. Shipping Items to The Authority™: Collectors can also ship their items directly to The Authority™. Once received, the items are authenticated, graded, encapsulated, and vaulted, making them available for sale, grading, or shipment. Collectors may also choose to vault trading cards in their raw state without using the authentication and encapsulation service.

Key Features of The Authority™:

• Dynamic Buy/Sell Marketplace: The unique multi-item private offer system allows collectors to make a single monetary offer for multiple collectibles. Responding collectors can adjust the offer amount or the items included, facilitating seamless negotiation. Once agreed, ownership transfers instantly.
• Real-Time Retailer Integration: Collectors can instantly transfer eligible collectibles from participating channel retailers directly to com. Items are immediately vaulted for secure storage and available for retail without any shipping.
• Instant, Standardized Grading: Items sold through retailers are pre-graded and encapsulated. Once the item is transferred, buyers can instantly reveal its grade. During fulfillment, the collectible’s encasement is permanently modified to include the grade.
• The Authority Vault: Purchased items are indexed, tagged, and securely stored in a state-of-the-art vault. They can be physically fulfilled at any time.
• Social Marketplace: Collectors can interact with one another through private messaging and public forums.
• 0% Retailer Withdrawal Fee: Collectors can use proceeds from sales on The Authority™ to shop from selected retailers with no withdrawal fee.
• Submit Any Item: The Authority™ allows collectors to submit any type of item to be graded, tagged, and vaulted. New encapsulation cases for additional collectible categories will be introduced in the future.
