Verification Center
Trade approval requires trusted source validation. Screenshots, manual entry, and metadata-only matches can help import cards, but they cannot approve a trade.
Provider inventory verified
A connected platform account confirms the card exists in the collector's inventory.
Partner API attestation
A trusted source confirms account ownership through an API or signed export.
Wallet / onchain validation
A server-verified wallet signature or onchain receipt backs the digital card.
Trade blocklist
Screenshots, manual entry, and metadata-only matches never approve a trade by themselves.
Trade-grade sources
TCGplayer seller inventory
Requires an authorized TCGplayer seller/store inventory connection. Catalog or price lookups alone do not qualify.
PriceCharting collection
Requires a signed-in PriceCharting collection or offer record pulled through an authorized account token.
Collectr partner attestation
Requires partner/API access that confirms the card exists in the collector account, not a pasted CSV.
PTCG Live account attestation
Requires an account-backed export or partner attestation. A screenshot or copied list is import-only.
TCG Pocket account attestation
Requires an account-backed export or partner attestation. Screenshots can help identify cards, not approve trades.
Wallet signature
A server-verified signature binds the collector account to a wallet before a wallet-backed validation badge is issued.
Onchain receipt
A verifiable onchain receipt can approve digital cards represented by a token or collectible record.
Blocked as proof
Allowed only as context for condition or import matching. Never trade-grade ownership validation.
Useful for search corrections, but not enough to list a card for trade.
Pokémon TCG API and TCGdex identify card data; they do not prove a user owns the card.
