Amid growing concerns over transparency and unchecked production in the trading card market, Based Trading Cards is setting a new standard through full disclosure of print runs and clearly published hit rates

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Californer -- Based Trading Cards, a California collectible card company blending art, education, finance, and economics, is placing scarcity and transparency at the forefront of the collectible card market. As the company prepares to launch their newest collection, it is reinforcing its core values: full disclosure of print runs, true artistry, and educational storytelling. Through limited releases and full production transparency, Based Trading Cards is reshaping the alternative trading card space and building confidence in the rarity and long term value of each card.

"We want to remind both current and future collectors that transparency and honesty around print numbers are too important to ignore," said founder Alladan Flinn. "Our goal is to set a clear standard and lead by example, encouraging other brands to disclose their print runs so collectors can trust that their investments are built for the long term, not driven by short term speculation or unlimited print runs. Our focus is on protecting the industry and ensuring the collectible card space remains credible, sustainable, and worthy of true long term investment."
