The hobby has a theft problem. Stolen graded cards are becoming more common, collectors and shops are taking bigger risks, and until now, there has been no centralized, free solution built specifically to help protect the community.
That changes today.
The Certified Trading Card Association (CTCA) is proud to introduce the Global Trading Card Registry (GTCR) — the first and only FREE tracking system for stolen graded trading cards.
Whether you’re a collector, dealer, card shop, show promoter, law enforcement agency, marketplace, or grading company, GTCR was built to help the hobby become safer, smarter, and stronger.
✅ Report stolen graded cards
✅ Search cards before buying
✅ Help identify suspicious inventory
✅ Create greater transparency and protection across the hobby
This is not about fear. It’s about building infrastructure to protect collectors and businesses before the problem gets worse.
The best part? It’s completely free for the hobby.
Visit www.thegtcr.com to learn more, search cards, or report stolen graded cards.
Because protecting the hobby should never come with a price tag.
