Replay Sports Cards Hops onto StockX Live
In an exciting development within the trading card community, Replay Sports Cards, the first national franchise dedicated exclusively to this hobby, is launching its live-commerce experience on the StockX Live platform. This debut is scheduled for August 16, 2026, and promises to bring a fresh twist by not only focusing on traditional sports cards but also integrating Pokémon auctions, sure to attract a diverse audience of collectors.
What's New with StockX Live?
Launched on July 30, the StockX Live platform is designed for real-time auctions and interactive experiences, where buyers can place bids while engaging directly with sellers. With over 30 million unique visitors each month, it is a marketplace that connects enthusiasts in an unprecedented manner. This unique live selling landscape will allow Replay to engage with its community like never before while seamlessly integrating into StockX's vibrant audience.
Replay's inaugural stream will offer more than just standard auctions. Gamified elements such as giveaways, worth more than $500, and a chance to bid on rare Pokémon sealed packs ensures an engaging experience for viewers. The event will be hosted by Replay's very own Jared Gutstein and Ben Miller, who are looking to make this launch a memorable one.
A Step Forward in Community Engagement
Mike Martin, co-founder of Replay Sports Cards, expressed great enthusiasm about the upcoming launch: “We’re thrilled to bring Replay to StockX Live and showcase our community. This partnership extends our reach beyond traditional sports card collectors to a broader audience that loves trading cards, including Pokémon enthusiasts.” The company’s decision to highlight Pokémon alongside sports cards underscores an industry shift towards an evolving hobby landscape, combining various interests in trading cards.
Steve Halupka, Director of Collectibles at StockX, shared his perspective on the collaboration: “Replay's reputation for making the trading card hobby engaging and community-oriented fits perfectly with our vision for StockX Live. Their focus on Pokémon along with sports cards exemplifies how the collectibles community continues to grow.” This evolution aligns with Replay's strategy of diversifying its digital presence and connecting collectors with unique avenues for buying, selling, and learning.
