FAQs
Why would I want a loan against my cards?
If it isn’t the right time to sell your cards, you can allow them to appreciate while getting money to spend on other parts of your life. You can use the cash to fix up your house, pay for a wedding, baby proof your apartment, or simply buy more cards.
How much can I expect?
Alt Lending may offer up to 40% of your portfolio value. The final amount offered will depend on the diversity of your card portfolio. For example, a portfolio with 100 cards will get a higher advance rate than a portfolio with one card.
What is the minimum and maximum loan size?
There is minimum loan size of $10,000. For loans larger than $2 million, please reach out to your Account Manager or support@alt.xyz for more information.
What is needed in order to begin the loan process?
All customers must provide their US Social Security Number and home address. At this time, we do not originate loans outside of the United States.
What cards do you accept for loans?
We can only consider cards if they are graded by PSA or BGS, or graded by SGC if they are pre-1980 and valued over $10,000. Cards must have a minimum of $500 based on Alt Value, and not be damaged in any way.

“Alt Lending helped me to secure a dream card and made my cash flow better. The process is very straightforward and fast, and my rep Kayvon at Alt is very helpful and responsive. It’s also flexible in that you can pay back early or sell cards within the portfolio as long as the associated loan portion is covered. It’s a convenient utility provided by Alt platform, and if used responsibly, it allows you to unlock many potential opportunities within the hobby.”
