Our Operations

Our operations are everything that happens between a sealed box and a card in your Vault — imaging, cataloging, and shipping, done for you. Three things power all of it.

The ETC Custom App inside Shopify admin — Members, Team Bank, Polls, Vaults, and subscriptions in one purpose-built app

Shopify-Powered

We know that earning the trust of the hobby has to come before we ask anyone to spend a single dollar on our platform. As such, building our platform on the world’s best commerce platform was a no-brainer. Given that our Value Multipliers required functionality that doesn’t exist in the hobby (or even in Shopify’s App Store), we developed our own custom Shopify app to power everything. Combine our app with Shopify’s unrivaled security and stability, and there are no limits on our team’s ultimate ceiling.

AI-Powered

Building a company like ETC from the ground up as a husband-and-wife team would not have been possible without the help of modern AI. The best example of which is the standalone desktop app we’ve developed to power our inventory workflows. Whether it’s imaging, cataloging, or coordinating, the app plays a key role in every step along the life of a card, from pull to ship.

Hard Work-Powered

No amount of AI will ever replace the value of a human dedicated to their craft. At ETC, we’re dedicated to the optimization of our processes so that we can continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Our systems are already capable of processing a Drop of 2,000+ cards in 24 hours; imagine what’s possible when we start to scale beyond a workforce of two.
