Use public pages for the right jobs

  • Send a curated box to a buyer or trade partner.
  • Show inventory at a card show without handing over private account access.
  • Share a read-only collection view for insurance or appraisal context.
  • Let friends or community members browse public boxes when you want discovery.

Remember that public means public

Only publish cards, images, values, notes, and box names you are comfortable sharing. Keep private locations or sensitive notes out of public-facing records.
