Who We Are
Rare Index, LLC is built by collectors, investors, and technologists who believe that passion assets deserve the same quality of data, transparency, and tooling as public markets. Collectibles are no longer just memorabilia β they are a real, growing asset class.
Our mission is simple: make collectible investing measurable, comparable, and trusted. Whether you're tracking a PokΓ©mon grail, a vintage Rolex, sealed LEGO sets, or future categories like wine and autos, Rare Index brings everything into one consistent framework.
What Rare Index Does
- Aggregates real-time and historical market data across marketplaces and partners.
- Normalizes prices and performance across categories into investable indices.
- Tracks portfolios and benchmarks them versus major indices like the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow.
- Connects verified certifications and provenance into a persistent asset record.
How the Platform Works
Data Layer
Aggregates market data, price history, ROI and cross-category indices for cards, watches, toys, and future categories.
Trust Layer
Integrates grading and certification data from established authorities like PSA, BGS, and Chrono24.
Provenance Layer
Records ownership, certification, and valuation history over time in the Rare Index Registry.
Intelligence Layer
Surfaces performance trends, risk/return characteristics, and diversification insights vs. traditional markets.
Portfolio Layer
Track your holdings, allocations, and performance relative to global indices all in one place.
RI Certified & Smart Card Experience
For qualifying assets, Rare Index offers RI Certified β a provenance and performance layer that connects third-party grading data with a physical RI Smart Card. Tap or scan the card to see verified certification data, provenance, valuation, and ROI history for that item.
- Preserves and standardizes partner certification data in the Registry.
- Links physical collectibles to a secure digital record through NFC and QR.
- Helps buyers, sellers, insurers, and lenders trust what they're looking at.
Our goal is to be the neutral intelligence and provenance layer that connects marketplaces, grading partners, and investors β not to compete with them.
