EBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) announced on Wednesday the expansion of its Authenticity Guarantee service for trading cards in Canada.
The developments means that single ungraded trading cards sold for more than $250 in Canada will be authenticated.
The company said that with the popularity of collectible card games, sports and non-sports trading cards, the Authenticity Guarantee brings an added layer of trust as well as unmatched access to comprehensive and accurate product information for collectors.
Authentication is called a top priority for collectors. As the service expands to include trading cards alongside sneakers in Canada, eBay believes it will further solidify its position in the marketplace.
Currently, the most expensive trading cards in Canada are of NHL players Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews.
