Frequently asked questions.

Wave One specializes in high-value products from:

• Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game
• One Piece Card Game
• Gundam Card Game

These are our primary acquisition markets and where we are most actively purchasing.

We may also consider exceptional cards, promotional products, sealed products, and collections from other playable trading card games, but we are significantly more selective outside our three primary markets.

Our primary interests include:

• High-value raw / ungraded cards
• Rare promotional cards
• Tournament and event exclusives
• Promotional boxes
• Limited-release products
• Scarce sealed products
• High-value playable TCG collectibles
• Qualifying collections
• Dealer and store inventory

We do not currently purchase sports cards or non-playable collectibles.

For purposes of Wave One's current acquisition program, a playable TCG is a collectible card game in which the cards are designed to be used as part of an actual structured game.

Our primary markets are Riftbound, One Piece, and Gundam.

Other playable TCGs may be considered on a selective basis.

Wave One will consider high-value items from other playable trading card games, but our acquisition criteria are substantially more selective.

Examples could include products from established or emerging TCGs outside our primary Riftbound, One Piece, and Gundam markets.

Submitting an item does not guarantee that Wave One will make an offer.

If you have an exceptional $500+ item from another playable TCG, you're welcome to submit it for review.

Potentially.

Wave One's primary acquisition markets are Riftbound, One Piece, and Gundam, but we will consider exceptional items from other playable trading card games.

We are substantially more selective with these submissions, and not every otherwise qualifying $500+ item will fit our acquisition strategy.

If you believe you have an exceptional item, you may submit it under Other TCG for review.

Yes, but $500 is only the minimum threshold for consideration.

An item being worth $500 or more does not guarantee that Wave One will purchase it.

This is especially important for Other TCG submissions, where we may apply substantially more selective acquisition criteria based on factors such as liquidity, scarcity, demand, condition, recent sales activity, and our current inventory strategy.

Yes.

If it is a playable TCG item that you reasonably believe has a market value of $500 or more, you may submit it for consideration.

Select Other TCG and enter the name of the game.

We'll determine whether it fits our current acquisition criteria.

Potentially, but selectively.

For collections outside Riftbound, One Piece, and Gundam, we're primarily interested in collections containing significant individual high-value items that fit our acquisition strategy.

A large collection of low-value cards generally will not qualify simply because its combined value exceeds $500.

No.

Wave One does not currently purchase sports cards.

This includes baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, racing, and other sports trading cards.

No.

Wave One currently focuses exclusively on playable trading card games.

• Sports cards
