Claim receipts
The receipt id, the drop, the state and the time it was recorded — the table above, the moment a claim lands.
Proof
Nothing has shipped.
This page is the record of what Cards Go has actually done. Right now that record is short: 6 drops are live and claimable, no card has been claimed from one, and no card has been bought, redeemed or shipped. When that changes, it changes here.
Where things stand
Three parts of the product work today. The marketplace index is live and reads thousands of real Collector Crypt listings at their real prices. The presence-verification claim runs: from anywhere on the practice drop, and only from inside the radius on a live one. And 6 funded drops are placed at real public places in 6 cities, with 23 slots between them. Nobody has claimed one yet, so nothing past that has happened.
| To date | Count |
|---|---|
| Drops live | 6 |
| Claim slots across them | 23 |
| Cards claimed from a drop | 0 |
| Cards bought from Collector Crypt | 0 |
| Cards redeemed from a vault | 0 |
| Cards shipped | 0 |
| Cards delivered | 0 |
The lifecycle of a dropped card
A card has to pass through eight states to get from a listing to somebody’s mailbox. These are the words we use for them. Each one means a single thing, and we only use it once the thing it describes has happened.
| State | What it means | Reached? |
|---|---|---|
| staged | The drop exists in our data with a city, a claim radius and a quantity. No money is behind it yet. | Yes — all 6 passed through it |
| funded | Budget is committed to buying the card that drop is earmarked for, at its live listing price. | Yes — 6 drops, out of our own money |
| placed | The drop is live at a real public place and can be claimed by whoever gets there first. | Yes — 6 drops, 23 slots |
| claimed | Someone stood at the drop, passed the presence check and holds the receipt for that card. | Never |
| purchased | We bought the card from Collector Crypt at the price on the listing. | Never |
| redeemed | The vault pulled the physical card out of storage against that purchase. | Never |
| shipped | The card left the vault with a carrier, addressed to the claimer. | Never |
| delivered | The carrier confirmed it arrived. | Never |
Nothing has moved past placed.
The public claim ledger
A claim writes a receipt to our database, and a public endpoint serves back a stripped version of it. Below is that endpoint, read live and printed as it comes back. A row here means somebody completed a presence check — not that a card changed hands. No claim on a live drop has been recorded yet; the practice one, which carries no prize, is the claim anyone can complete from anywhere.

What we publish as a claim moves
The vault redemption reference
When a claimed card is redeemed out of storage, we publish the reference the vault gives us, so the redemption can be checked against them rather than only against us.
Shipment state
Shipped and delivered, with the date each state changed. Not the tracking number, and never the address.
What the public endpoint cannot expose
The claimer’s email, their device identifier, any location reading the check takes and the pickup code are not filtered out of the public response — they are never read in the first place. The query behind it selects the receipt id, the drop, the state and the timestamps, and nothing else.
Who holds the card, and who holds the money
Every item in the index is a real, physical collectible sitting in a third-party vault. It stays there through staged, funded, placed and claimed. A map pin is where a card can be claimed, never where the card is — we will not pretend otherwise.
| Vault | Published location |
|---|---|
| PWCC Vault | Tigard, Oregon |
| PSA Vault | New Castle, Delaware |
| OmniVault | Not published by the vault |
A few listings name a vault we do not recognise. Those read as “Partner vault” with no location, because we will not guess one. The card only moves after we buy it and ask the vault to redeem it, and it moves to the claimer’s address rather than to us. Cards Go never takes custody of the collectible.
We never hold your money
There is no wallet connection and no checkout on this site. You cannot pay us and we cannot charge you. Buying a card outright happens on Collector Crypt at their price. A funded drop is paid for out of the drop budget, so the person who claims it pays nothing for the card.
The mechanics behind all of this — the presence check, the vaults, what is built and what is not — are written out in how it works. The live listings are in the index.
