PWCC Marketplace Adds Memorabilia, Video Games, Comics, Coins, and Currency to Alternative Investment Platform

—Leading trading card vaulting service brings security and liquidity services to additional investors, collectors and categories—

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PWCC Marketplace, the liquidity leader for tangible assets, is bringing cutting-edge solutions to new verticals. Starting immediately, PWCC Marketplace is providing vaulting, appraisal, collection management tools, and 24/7 marketplace access to all authenticated memorabilia, video games, comics, coins and currency.

PWCC Marketplace's alternative investment platform empowers investors and collectors through a digital portfolio that utilizes high resolution imaging of assets, up-to-date appraisal services, and robust security and insurance solutions. The backbone of these offerings is the company's vault in Oregon – a sales tax-free state – where clients can securely archive their assets and access them digitally via web or app.

PWCC Marketplace provides sellers with instant access to multiple marketplaces that are used by hundreds of thousands of potential buyers. Trading card collectors also benefit from liquidity solutions as a result of a robust menu of capital offerings, which provide loans and cash advances using archived assets as collateral.

While these services have traditionally been used for trading cards, PWCC Marketplace has invested in innovative technology and hired industry experts in their respective fields to help implement platform changes that cater to the needs of new collectible assets.

"The platform updates bring clients more powerful solutions for collections that include memorabilia, video games, comics, coins, and currency," said Jesse Craig, Vice President of Sales at PWCC Marketplace. "The most apparent changes include our new 360-degree imaging studios and software updates that provide up-to-date valuation of assets in a client's portfolio. Still, the most critical additions come from the experts who are joining our team."

PWCC's new category leads are:
