About the Role

We're looking for a Sports Cards & Collectibles Reviewing Associate to join our fast-paced operations team. In this role, you'll inspect, handle, and document sports cards and other collectibles before they move into grading and vaulting. You'll play a key part in ensuring accuracy, safe handling, and chain-of-custody compliance while helping to protect some of the hobby's most valuable assets. If you're detail-oriented, process-driven, and passionate about collectibles, this could be the perfect fit.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Authenticity Checks : Review stock / print features, foils, holograms, and text; escalate anything suspicious.
  • Data Entry & Reporting : Enter and verify card attributes (set, card #, parallels, autos / mem, serials, variants) and provide metrics on accuracy, throughput, and blockers.
  • Safe Handling : Sleeve and top-load items, avoid micro-damage, and maintain clean-surface protocols for high-value property.
  • Throughput & SLA : Hit daily / weekly throughput goals while maintaining accuracy and on-time handoffs.
  • Policies & Security : Follow loss-prevention protocols, clean-desk rules, and audit requirements in a secure, camera-covered environment.

What We're Looking For

  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy in repetitive, time-boxed workflows.
  • Comfort working in inventory systems and Google Sheets (lookups, filters, pivots, conditional formatting, basic charting).
  • Strong process discipline (SOPs, chain-of-custody, clean-desk protocols).
  • Integrity and discretion when handling high-value customer property.
  • Clear communication skills to escalate issues quickly.
  • Ability to lift / move bins up to ~25–30 lbs. and perform fine motor work for extended periods.
  • Must be able to pass a background check.

    • Bonus Points For

  • Experience with grading, authentication, or collectibles marketplaces.
  • Deep set knowledge (Topps Chrome, Prizm, Select, vintage sets) and / or TCGs (Pokémon, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh!).
  • Familiarity with counterfeit / alteration detection.
  • Exposure to SQL / BI tools for operational metrics.
  • Multilingual or regional market expertise.
  • Archival or OSHA handling experience.

    • Benefits

  • Competitive pay
  • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Disability and Life Insurance
  • Vacation and Sick Time
  • Room for growth in a fast-growing startup
  • Work alongside passionate collectors and industry innovators
