From Vault 99 · Coming soon
Meet Deckly.
Also listed as Toploader — an app for collectors, from Vault 99. More details to come.
I'm building Vault 99 to give collectors a thoughtful, straightforward place to get their cards assessed and cared for.
I'm based in Australia and learning every day as I grow this business. My aim is simple: treat each card with care, be honest about what I see, and help you make an informed next step.
Pokemon, sports cards, Magic: The Gathering, other TCGs and collectibles. Email me about your cards first so we can discuss what you need.
What's a pre-grade assessment?
A review of a card's condition — including surface, corners, edges and centring — to help you decide whether to submit it for grading. You receive a printed assessment report.
Do you guarantee a grade?
No — no one can guarantee a grade. An assessment is an informed opinion; grading companies make the final decision.
How do I send my cards?
Enquire by email first. We'll confirm the details before you send anything.
How and when do I pay?
Bookings and enquiries are handled by email. Once your booking is confirmed, you'll receive a secure payment link. Please pay before sending your cards. Cards are returned once the work is complete.
How long does it take?
It depends on the volume of cards and what's needed. I'll confirm the timing when you enquire.
Where are you based?
Australia.
