Misprint

Misprint is a premium marketplace dedicated to collectors and investors, specializing in trading cards, particularly Pokémon cards, facilitating seamless transactions and market insights for its users. Founded in 2025 in San Francisco, US, Misprint operates as a trading card marketplace. The company has completed its first deal as of February 25, 2025, raising funding to enhance its operations. The founder has not previously been noted for founding other companies.

Misprint operates as a premium marketplace for collectors and investors, primarily focusing on trading cards, specifically Pokémon cards. The core offerings include a platform where users can buy and sell graded cards, sealed products, and grail cards, along with features such as real-time pricing, active bids, and listings. This service addresses the needs of collectors and investors seeking reliable market insights and the ability to trade cards with transparency and ease. The target customer base encompasses both individual collectors and institutional investors in North America and Europe, with a significant emphasis on engaging the Pokémon trading card community.

The marketplace facilitates the connection between users by allowing them to manage their collections and gain access to a rich variety of products, enhancing their overall trading experience. Revenue generation for Misprint is primarily structured around transaction fees from user sales within its marketplace. Clients, including individual collectors and hobbyists, list their cards for sale, while potential buyers engage in bidding or direct purchases. The platform incorporates a fee structure that is competitive in the industry, aimed at maximizing user engagement and retention.

Pricing for products varies based on market demand and card conditions, with notable transactions often exceeding several thousand dollars for rare items. This transactional model fosters a direct-to-consumer environment where users can efficiently buy, sell, and trade cards, contributing to the overall revenue stream of the company. In February 2025, Misprint raised an undisclosed amount of Seed funding from new investor Pioneer Fund. The company is focused on developing new features for its marketplace, including enhanced user analytics and an improved mobile platform, set to launch in late 2025.

Additionally, Misprint plans to expand into the Asian markets by 2026, targeting countries such as Japan and South Korea, known for their active trading card communities. The funding will support these development initiatives and the expansion strategy.
