What Is Slab ATM
Slab ATM is a physical vending machine — not an app, not a website, and not a marketplace. It's installed in real-world locations and designed to be used in person. You walk up to the machine, pay on the screen, and receive a graded card immediately. No account, no app, no waiting — just walk up and use it.
Why graded cards?
Graded cards are the gold standard of collectible trading cards — professionally authenticated, assigned a condition score, and sealed in a tamper-proof case. They're legitimate collectibles with established market value, trusted by collectors worldwide.
How It Works
Find a Slab ATM machine at a mall or venue near you. On the touchscreen, choose your price tier — $29, $59, or $99. Each tier has its own curated range of possible cards, drawn from available inventory. Full inventory details are shown on-screen before you pay.
Pay instantly with tap, chip, or swipe using Stripe Terminal — the same payment technology used by thousands of retailers. No account required. No app. The whole transaction takes under 60 seconds.
Your card is revealed on-screen with full grading details — player, grade, set, and grading company. A locker then unlocks and dispenses your card, sealed in its original case. It's yours to keep.
Every purchase delivers one physical, professionally graded card. This is a retail transaction — not a contest or prize system.
Collector Demand
Trading cards have seen a major resurgence across sports and gaming communities. Slab ATM curates its inventory from professionally graded hockey, baseball, basketball, and Pokémon cards — the categories with the strongest collector demand and cultural recognition.
Whether you're a lifelong collector or someone discovering the hobby for the first time, finding a graded slab in person hasn't existed in a physical, in-person format — until now. The experience combines the familiarity of collecting with the excitement of not knowing exactly what you'll receive until it's revealed.
Rookies, legends, and rare parallels from Canada's favourite sport.
Classic and modern stars across all major eras.
Rookie cards, short prints, and high-demand collectibles.
Base Set, modern sets, rare holos, and limited editions.
For Venue Partners
Slab ATM machines are fully managed by our team. As a venue partner, you provide the floor space. We handle installation, inventory, maintenance, and operations — at no cost to you.
The machine is designed to attract attention and encourage interaction, increasing dwell time in corridors, food courts, and entertainment zones. Collectors and casual visitors stop, interact, and return.
Higher foot traffic directly translates into more transactions and incremental revenue. Venues generate additional income from existing visitors without additional staffing or operational overhead. Revenue share and fixed arrangements available.
No staff required. No inventory management. No operational involvement from your team. We manage everything — from machine servicing to card replenishment. You simply host the machine.
Installation is simple and non-invasive. The machine requires only a standard electrical outlet and does not require permanent modifications to your space. Setup is completed by our team.
Slab ATM carries full liability coverage for the machine and its operation. No risk to your venue beyond the floor space provided.
We structure agreements to align with your venue's operational requirements. Choose between a revenue share arrangement or a fixed monthly structure — whichever works best for your location.

Submit Venue InquiryCard Purchasing Program
Slab ATM operates a separate, optional card-purchasing program. If you'd like to explore selling a graded card — whether received from one of our machines or from your own collection — our buying team reviews all submissions.
The card-purchasing program is a separate service and is not part of the original purchase transaction.
Buyback requests are processed independently and are not reviewed in real time at the machine.
Slab ATM does not guarantee an offer will be made on any submitted card.
