The Problem... 

• The rapid growth of the collectibles industry hasn't been without challenges for collectors and investors.
• Peer-to-peer marketplaces and social media platforms have become a haven for bad actors and fraudulent activity.
• Auction houses and consignment services provide safety but typically charge between 10% and 30%. They also inhibit the natural flow of the market by tying up liquidity for months at a time.

    Enter MySlabs...  

•  Since launching in 2018 MySlabs has firmly established itself as one of the most trusted brands in the sports card industry with an unparalleled value proposition.
• Vetting platform sellers and holding all users to the highest standard of conduct in the industry has all but eliminated instances of fraud.
• An industry low fee structure allows MySlabs to pass significant savings on to its users with the added benefit of keeping more money in the market.
• Through collaborations with key industry players MySlabs is continuously able to provide greater value to members.

Exponential GMV Growth Possible Via Peer-to-Peer Auctions...

• Since inception MySlabs has been a fixed-price marketplace only.
• Auctions offer quick access to liquidity and have historically been the most popular avenue for buyers and sellers to transact online.
• Marketplaces with the highest GMV in the space (eBay, PWCC, Goldin and Heritage) all rely on auction capability as a primary source of revenue. Recent data from their public sales archive shows that a leading marketplace's weekly auction sales volume is between 30 and 40 times that of its fixed-price marketplace sales.

Potential for Expansion into Tangential Markets...

• Sports Memorabilia - Total core market (physical items) was valued at $12.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% over the 2022 to 2032 period
• Collectible Coins/Currency - Total market was valued at $11.5 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% over the 2021 to 2027 period
• Collectible Toys - Total market valued at $12.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $35.3 billion by 2032

Moving Beyond Collectibles into a Full-Scale eBay Competitor...

• Popular C2C (consumer to consumer) marketplaces like eBay, Mercari and Facebook Marketplace all exhibit many of the same pain-points across all product categories not just collectibles.
• The broader C2C landscape is ripe for disruption via the MySlabs value proposition of vetting, accountability and industry low fees in very much the same way collectibles proved to be.
• Launching the “MyStuff” brand within it's existing platform will enable MySlabs to leverage a built-in audience and loyal community for these new categories on day one.

Into the App Store...

• Since launching MySlabs has been a web-based platform only. Building an app has the potential to grow awareness and participation exponentially.
• The average adult spends 3 hours and 45 minutes on a mobile device daily. 
• Mobile apps account for 70% of all digital media time.
• People spend around 88% of their mobile time on apps only. 
• Roughly 48% of users determine a brand's credibility via an app only.

The Proposal...

• MySlabs is excited to launch its Republic approved crowd-funded round via a SAFE. This round of funding will provide MySlabs with additional engineering and marketing resources needed to accelerate the execution of it's short term road-map.
• Because of the strength of it's brand and community, MySlabs is uniquely positioned to benefit from added platform capabilities like peer-to-peer auctions, improved margins, new product categories and favorable secular trends across not only collectibles, but the entire C2C (consumer to consumer) landscape over the next decade.
• Given MySlabs' track record of supporting operational costs with revenues we feel that we offer a very favorable balance of growth and risk for stakeholders in any macroeconomic environment.
