Dynamics Inc. has introduced a new large-format memorabilia slab through its collectibles platform, The Authority, expanding grading and display capabilities beyond traditional trading cards. The slab frame is in collaboration with Upper Deck.
The rigid slab format allows oversized collectibles, ranging from 8×10 to 24×36 inches, to be authenticated, graded, and encapsulated in a self-supporting structure that doubles as a display solution. Designed to stand upright or be wall-mounted, the slabs eliminate the need for separate framing while offering protection and presentation in a single format.
“Collectors have traditionally had to spend hundreds of dollars buying a frame after buying a memorabilia print,” says Jeffrey Mullen, CEO of Dynamics. “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.”
The launch coincides with the debut of Upper Deck Authenticated Snapshots, a release featuring signed print collectibles that can be transferred into The Authority platform for grading, storage, or resale. Each item includes a certificate of authenticity that is both physically encapsulated and digitally linked to the collectible.
According to the company, the new format introduces a category expansion for slabbed collectibles, which have traditionally been limited to smaller items such as trading cards. By integrating grading, encapsulation, and display, the platform aims to streamline the collector experience while reducing the additional costs typically associated with framing large-format memorabilia.
The Authority platform enables users to buy, sell, grade, and store collectibles within a single ecosystem, as Dynamics continues to expand its presence across multiple categories, including trading cards, comics, and memorabilia.
