WHAT'S WITH THE 'E', MATE?

And no... before you ask, we're not French. 🇦🇺

No, I'm not French. No, I don't want to be French. And before anyone starts throwing baguettes, I have absolutely nothing against the French. In fact, I've got plenty of French mates.

But in this case, the 'E' has absolutely nothing to do with France. So what the bloody hell is it all about? Well... you're going to have to stick around to find out.

FIRST THINGS FIRST...

Thanks for making your way here.

Seriously.

Whether you stumbled across us while hunting for your next card, followed a rabbit hole from social media, or simply wondered what the hell Saber d' Collectore was all about, we're glad you made it.

Getting you through the door is one thing.

Keeping you here?

That's our job.

And yeah, easier said than done.

But here's the promise:

Saber d' Collectore isn't your typical online hobby shop flipping cards for a quick buck.

At our core, we're collectors.

Always have been.

Always will be.

The cards, the chase, the history, the numbers, the stories, the ridiculous excitement of ripping open a pack and wondering whether you've just uncovered something special...

That's the good stuff.

But we're also not particularly interested in doing things simply because "that's the way they've always been done."

That's where Saber starts to get interesting.

THINK DIFFERENT. COLLECT DIFFERENT.

At Saber d' Collectore, thinking outside the box isn't just encouraged.

It's part of the DNA.

We want to push the standard of collecting forward.

Not by changing what makes collecting great, but by building around it.

More knowledge.

More transparency.

More community.

More opportunity.

And perhaps most importantly...

More reasons to enjoy the hobby.

We're building a place where honesty matters.

Where loyalty means something.

Where good old-fashioned hard work still gets a seat at the table.

Where experienced collectors can share what they've learned, returning collectors can find their feet again, and someone opening their very first pack doesn't feel like they've wandered into a foreign country without a map.

Because let's face it...

The hobby has changed.

A lot.

And if you've been away for a few years, or thirty years, you can be forgiven for looking around and thinking:

"What the hell happened while I was gone?"

Parallels.

Short prints.

SPs.

Case hits.

Autos.

Numbered cards.

Grading.

Population reports.

Market data.

Comps.

Breaks.

Flippers.

Investors.

Prospects.

Rookies.

And enough terminology to make your head spin faster than a hobby box on release day.

That's where The Saber Way comes in.

THE SABER WAY

We're here to help you understand the game.

Not tell you what to collect.

Not tell you what to buy.

Not tell you which card is going to make you rich.

And definitely not promise that every cardboard rectangle is going to the moon. 🚀

Instead, we're interested in something far more valuable:

Knowledge.

Understanding what you're looking at.

Understanding why it matters.

Understanding the market.

Understanding the risks.

Understanding the history.

Understanding how to evaluate a card, a player, a product and ultimately...

your own collecting journey.

Because the best collector isn't necessarily the one with the biggest collection.

It's the one who knows why they're collecting it.

BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION

We're particularly passionate about bringing new collectors into the fold.

Young or old.

Newbie or veteran.

Returning collector or someone discovering the hobby for the very first time.

Everyone starts somewhere.

And we're building the tools, education and community to help make that journey a hell of a lot more enjoyable.

But we're not stopping at education.

We're creating.

We're experimenting.

We're building.

And some of the ideas currently taking shape inside the Saber workshop are...

well... pretty bloody exciting.

🎓 THE SABER ACADEMY

The foundation has been poured.

The doors are taking shape.

And we're preparing to welcome our first class.

Spring 2027

The Saber Academy is being developed as an educational home for collectors.

A place to learn the fundamentals.

A place to sharpen your eye.

A place to understand the modern hobby.

A place where experience gets passed forward instead of being locked away in someone's collection room.

Enrollment applications for Spring 2027 are now being accepted.

This isn't about creating collectors who simply buy more.

It's about creating collectors who know more.

🧠 SABER TRADER

Then there's Saber Trader.

We're currently developing the software that we believe could fundamentally change how collectors manage, research, evaluate and interact with their collections.

We're looking for volunteers to participate in our demonstration cycle as we continue building and testing the platform.

The goal?

Bring more of the collecting experience together under one roof.

Research.

Data.

Inventory.

Trading.

Buying.

Selling.

Market intelligence.

Evaluation.

 And plenty more. It's ambitious. Maybe even a little crazy.But that's never stopped us before.

Saber Trader is being built for collectors, not just customers. And we're inviting collectors to help shape what it becomes.

⚔️ WELCOME TO THE SABERVERSE

And then...There's Saberverse. Coming in 2027.

This is where things get seriously interesting. Imagine a world where the athletes you know and love by day become superheroes by night. A world where real-life athletic performance influences what happens inside a completely fictional universe. A world where you build your squad.

You train them.You develop them.You make the calls. And when that whistle blows...

You send them over the top.

But here's the catch.

Every decision matters.Your intelligence officers deliver their reports.Your analysts crunch the numbers.Your squad has strengths.Your opponents have weaknesses.And somewhere between the statistics, strategy and sheer imagination...

you have to make the call. Do you trust the data? Do you gamble on an underdog? Do you protect your strongest player? Do you sacrifice one to save the squad?

Do you follow the numbers...

...or trust your gut?

Because Saberverse isn't simply about having the biggest or strongest team.

It's about performance.

Problem solving.

Dedication.

Leadership.

Decision-making.And above all...Imagination.

Good versus bad.Power versus power. Squad versus squad. A battle for control of the Saberverse. And when the whistle blows, there's no sitting on the sidelines. You're the one making the decisions.

SO... WHAT IS THE 'E'?

Well, now we're getting somewhere. The 'E' isn't French. It isn't decoration. And it certainly isn't there because we couldn't spell something properly. 😉

The 'E' represents something.

A standard.A mindset.A level you've earned.Because around here, we believe there are plenty of people who want to be great.Plenty who talk about it. Plenty who chase it. Some who achieve it. And some who simply refuse to stop until they do.

The Saber way is built around those characteristics.

Honesty.

Loyalty.

Hard work.

Dedication.

Leadership.

Integrity.

Knowledge.

Imagination.

Many strive for them. Many obtain them. Many don't. And that's okay. Because the question isn't whether everyone gets there.

The question is...

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO EARN YOUR 'E'?

Only time will tell.. Welcome to Saber d' Collectore. The chase lives here.
