Upper Deck Enhances the Collector Experience on e-Pack® by Becoming a Connected Retailer to The Authority™ Marketplace

Collectors on e-Pack® have the unique ability to decide when, where, and how they want to experience collecting. They can purchase, instantly open, and trade Upper Deck products from anywhere in the world. e-Pack also offers the convenience of keeping your entire collection at your fingertips, and at any time selecting items to have shipped directly to you. Now, e-Pack users can transfer collectibles to The Authority, where a range of new options are available, including the ability to grade and sell.

The Authority is a newly launched all-in-one e-commerce platform for vaulted collectibles. As a Connected Retailer, e-Pack users now have the power of The Authority at their fingertips. So, let’s break down exactly what this means, and what collectors can look forward to.

As the world’s first real-time, vertically integrated, multi-category collectible e-commerce platform, The Authority enables users to instantly vault, purchase, encapsulate, authenticate, grade, sell, and fulfill a collectible within minute. Those services are available for trading cards, comics, action figures, and other types of collectibles. Once you create an account with The Authority, you can link it to your Upper Deck e-Pack account. Once linked, you can transfer comics, action figures, and Funko Pop! figures purchased on Collect Forever, as well as Authentic Digital Collectibles from Evolution, to The Authority.

All items are securely vaulted at The Authority, which means you can manage your entire collection at your fingertips while the items are stored safely in a secure vault, and you can choose to have your physical items shipped home to you at any time.

Once you’ve transferred your collectibles from e-Pack to The Authority, you can take advantage of all the platform’s features. On The Authority marketplace, you can conveniently list collectibles for sale and accept offers from other collectors, as well as purchase and make offers on thousands of different items.

Once physical items like comic books and Funko Pop! figures are transferred from e-Pack to a linked Authority account, they can be upgraded to a hard slab and instantly grade. No need to wait weeks, or even months, to find out the grade of your collectible – you can see it with the click of a button. And when you submit your collectible to The Authority’s standard authentication process, they will authenticate and encapsulate your collectible. You can find more information on that process here.

As a Connected Retailer, The Authority offers exciting opportunities for Upper Deck e-Pack® collectors and brings new ways to interact with your collection. It’s never been easier to buy, sell, grade, and protect your collectibles. For more details and answers to any questions you may have about The Authority, visit their FAQ page or contact their Customer Care team.
