Gradient

Gradient is a Seattle, Washington startup bringing artificial intelligence and robotics to the collectibles industry. Its goal is to make collecting easier, more enjoyable, and more accessible by using technology to scan, identify, price, sort, store, and list trading cards. These capabilities support services including consignment and repacks, helping collectors and businesses manage cards and sales.

For collectors, Gradient offers a marketplace featuring Pokémon digital packs backed by real cards, with an instant sell-back option. Its consignment service lets customers send in cards and create an order, while Gradient guides them through the process and keeps their cards organized in an online dashboard. The company also works with card shops, breakers, consignment sellers, and live streamers, handling card identification, pricing, sorting, listing, shipping, and fulfillment.

Customers can shop inventory and packs, join live shows on eBay Live and Whatnot, and follow Gradient on social media. The brand presents its technology as a way to streamline card handling while connecting collectors with products, services, and community.
