Getting Started: Link Channel Retailer Accounts and Complete KYC

To link accounts from channel retailers, hover over your avatar, scroll down and click linked accounts.

 

 

That will take you to settings and Source linked accounts, by clicking “Upper Deck account” that will direct you to your e-pack account where you can link to The Authority.

 

 

To start buying and selling on The Authority™ marketplace you must complete KYC(Know your customer). 

There is no cost to sign up for an account on the Authority.  You can sign up for an account, transfer items, buy items, and fulfill items without KYC.  If you want to (1) list items on the marketplace for sale; or (2) withdrawal funds, then we require KYC.  KYC makes marketplaces safer for its customers by verifying the identifies of users.  This deters fraudulent activity, prevents financial crimes, and builds trust within the platform.  The process helps The Authority know who it is dealing with and filter out bad actors before they can cause harm. 
 
As part of our KYC process to make the platform safe and secure, we currently do require a purchase to be made (e.g., either a store credit purchase or a subscription purchase) or a transfer from a channel retailer.  Users from channel retailers that link accounts to The Authority are not required to make a purchase as part of the KYC process if they transfer a physical item to the Authority from their linked account. 

To start KYC you must make a purchase from The Authority™ store or transfer an item from a channel retailer. To make a purchase click on the store.

 

 

Make any purchase of store credit. Then return to your dashboard. The following message will still appear.

 

 

Start your KYC process by going to your dashboard and scrolling down to the “Start KYC” button. 

 

 

Click the “Start KYC” button and follow the directions to complete KYC and start buying and selling on the marketplace.

Please note the following message will still appear in your dashboard even after you have completed KYC.

 

 

This message is about Wallet Withdrawal and is not about KYC.

The Authority™ Unveils World’s First Rigid Large Format Memorabilia Slab, Where The Slab Is The Frame™

The Authority™ Unveils World’s First Rigid Large Format Memorabilia Slab, Where The Slab Is The Frame™

Debuting with the Upper Deck Authenticated Snapshots Release, the Innovation Eliminates the Need for Traditional Framing and Simultaneously Elevates Memorabilia Display

Dynamics Inc., a leader in security and collectible technologies and creators of The Authority™, the world's first real-time, vertically integrated, multi-category collectible e-commerce platform, today announced the launch of the industry’s first rigid, large-format memorabilia slabs, introducing a new standard for how premium collectibles are displayed, protected and experienced. 

For the first time in the collectibles industry, large-format collectibles can be professionally graded and slabbed, bringing the trusted authentication and encapsulation process traditionally reserved for trading cards to premium, large-format print memorabilia.

Available in display sizes ranging from 8x10 to 20x24 to 24x36 inches, each collectible is encapsulated in a rigid, self-supporting slab that functions as both protection and an elevated decor piece. Unlike traditional flexible sleeves, these slabs are engineered to stand upright on their own, or be easily hung on a wall, eliminating the need for costly external framing. 

“Collectors have traditionally had to spend hundreds of dollars buying a frame after buying a memorabilia print,” said Jeffrey Mullen, CEO of Dynamics Inc. “With the introduction of a rigid, large-format memorabilia print slab, the step of purchasing a frame disappears entirely. The slab isn’t just protection, it’s presentation. The slab is the frame.”

Traditional framing for large-format memorabilia can cost between $200 and $500 per piece, often limiting accessibility and flexibility for collectors. By integrating framing directly into the slab, The Authority™ unlocks a more cost-effective and versatile solution, allowing collectors to easily swap and display pieces based on season, athlete, or personal preference.

Debuting alongside Upper Deck Authenticated Snapshots, the innovation introduces a simple but transformative concept: “The slab is the frame.” Each piece is signed by one or more featured athletes and are instantly transferable from e-Pack® into The Authority™ to vault, sell on the Authority Marketplace™, or instantly grade via its proprietary Reveal Grade™ technology.  Each memorabilia piece is sold in single piece packs on Upper Deck e-Pack® and is available for purchase today.  The Upper Deck Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for each piece is also encapsulated and digitally linked to each corresponding memorabilia item, ensuring seamless verification and long-term value.

“No one has ever graded or slabbed collectibles of this size before,” said Jeffrey Mullen, CEO of Dynamics Inc. “We’re introducing a completely new category of authenticated memorabilia. Collectors can now purchase premium signed prints of iconic figures and immediately have them vaulted, graded, and listed on The Authority™ platform.  The slabs are rigid and can hold their own weight.  They do not need to be framed.  You can lean it on a shelf or affix it to a wall and instantly have a display-ready piece.”

Large-format slabs expand The Authority™ beyond trading cards, comics, and figurines, combining premium imagery and encapsulation technology to offer collectors a new way to acquire authenticated, display-ready artwork tied to legendary figures.

Dynamics manages The Authority™, the world’s first real-time, vertically integrated, multi-category collectible e-commerce platform. The Authority™ enables users to instantly vault, purchase, encapsulate, authenticate, grade, sell, and fulfill a collectible, within minutes.  Dynamics is also the technical team behind the Universal Public Grading Standard™, the collectible industries first public grading standard.
