How MPE live auctions work

Every lot on this page is a physical trading card that has already been graded, serial numbered and encapsulated by MPE Grading, then stored in the MPE vault. You are bidding on the real slab — not a picture of one, and not a redemption you have to chase.

Auctions are timed. The highest bid when the clock expires wins, and the card is delivered instantly to the winner's vault. Vault storage is free, so from there you can hold the card, trade it with another collector, list it on the vault marketplace, or ask for the physical slab to be shipped to your door.

No last-second sniping

Traditional online auctions reward whoever has the fastest finger in the closing seconds. MPE auctions don't. Any bid placed inside the final two minutes pushes the clock back, so a lot only closes once bidding has genuinely stopped. If you are the high bidder when it ends, you won it fairly.

Frequently asked questions

How do MPE live auctions work?

Every lot is a real card that has already been graded and slabbed by MPE and is held in the vault. You place a bid, the highest bid when the clock runs out wins, and the card moves straight into the winner's vault.

Can someone snipe my bid in the last second?

No. Any bid placed in the final two minutes pushes the clock back, so an auction only ends once the bidding has genuinely gone quiet.

What happens to the card when I win?

It is delivered instantly to your MPE vault, where storage is free. From there you can keep it, trade it, list it on the marketplace, or have the physical slab shipped to you.

Are the cards really graded?

Yes. Every auction lot is a physical card that has been graded, serial numbered and encapsulated by MPE Grading, and the slab is stored in the vault.
