Trust and inspection

Know what is being checked.

SlapSwap checks that routed items match their listings and keeps the handoff documented. It does not replace a grader or creator.

01

Dallas-based inspection

A partner-led inspection space in Dallas, with chain-of-custody photography on every routed item.

02

Tiered inspection routing

The model requires inspection on every $2,500+ item and every trade from $1,000+. It is optional below those thresholds. The full schedule is on the fees page.

03

Clear verification limits

Inspection checks that an item matches its listing. Grading companies and original creators remain the source for authentication.

04

Documented handoffs

Routed items keep condition notes and chain-of-custody photos together, so a dispute starts with the same evidence for everyone.

Dark Charizard — Team Rocket 4/82 (2000): Reference Profile

The marquee standard chase card of Team Rocket — where the Unlimited holo is rarer at PSA 10 but the 1st Edition sells for 3-4x more, and the "no set symbol error" is a Jungle myth.

1999 Base Set Charizard #4/102, 1st Edition: Authenticating the Stamp (and the Prerelease-Charizard Myth)

The "Edition 1" stamp is the whole card — how to read it, the dispositive black-core light test, and why the "Prerelease Charizard" does not exist (the error card is Raichu).

Lists worth saving

Keep the references, runs, and ideas you want to come back to.

How it works

Four steps. No hidden mechanics.

The flow is plain: make an account, build a wantlist, transact, and settle. Fees, the inspection model, and dispute resolution will be documented in plain language.

Step 01

Create your account

Account creation takes a minute. Choose what you collect, and add or change it anytime.

Step 02

Build your wantlist

Add items to your wantlist. Match alerts surface new listings the moment they post, and become more useful as your wantlist grows.

Step 03

Buy, list, or propose a trade

Browse and make offers, list your own items, or propose a trade across categories with an optional cash adjustment.

Step 04

Receive, inspect, settle

Higher-value items will route through the Dallas inspection facility on the way to you. Settlement happens on-platform.
