The vault
Every night mints different cards.
Lambeau Field. Yankee Stadium. Madison Square Garden. The
Rose Bowl. The comedy club on a Thursday. One design per event type, in
that event's colours, numbered to the night it was shot.

The ultimate proof of attendance.
This card is real — and it moves. Our own footage from the upper
deck at the Arlington supercross, playing inside the card. Tap for
the sound of the gate.
Verified you were there. GPS inside the venue, a trusted
clock inside the event window, taken in the app. All three or it
says so.
Numbered to the night. 18 of 96 minted at that race.
The total freezes when the night closes and never moves again.
Capped on purpose. Three trade cards a night. Fewer in
the playoffs. One at a championship. Scarcity is the product.
Trade it in the hub. Your night for somebody else's —
a card from a game you could never have been at.
Every kid deserves a rookie card.
Their name. Their number. Their team's colours. Shot from the
sideline by the person who never misses a game.
No design work. Type the name and number once — the card
sets itself in your team's colours.
One of one. Keepsakes are never capped and never traded.
This card exists because you were standing there.
Your words on the back. "First home run. We were there."
Nobody can print that but you.
Print the season. Real press-ready cards, 300 dpi,
the same file a card shop would cut.
Nobody else has this
The card is alive.
Hold to record at the game and the card plays the moment —
crowd noise, arena lights, the play itself. Every live card carries
fifteen seconds — you choose which fifteen, and your vault keeps the full
clip. This one is real footage from our seats at a Mavericks game. The
only card that moves, and it still prints as the still.

Twenty thousand people saw it. One of them owns it.
Your phone. Your image. Your card.
A true 1 of 1. A shop prints ten thousand copies of the
same card and ten thousand people own it. Yours exists ONCE —
your seat, your angle, your split second. Nobody else on earth has
it, and nobody ever can. The only way anyone else holds it is if
you trade it or sell it.
It moves. Hold the shutter and the card carries video.
No card in a shop ever played the moment back.
Every level of the game. The pros tonight. College
Saturday. Friday night lights. Pee wee on a Saturday morning.
The same card, the same proof.

Ownership that never disappears.
Every card carries a QR on its back. Scan it and the

one at a championship. Keepsakes are yours forever. Print any card when
the night closes.

How verification actually works
The app finds the event, not you. Live event data tells us
what's happening within a mile of where you're standing — the game, the
venue, the tip-off window. You never type a venue, so a venue can never
be faked.
Trade cards must earn the checkmark. Taken in the app, GPS
inside the venue, trusted clock inside the event window. All three or
the card says NOT VERIFIED — and an unverified card can't trade as
verified.
Keepsakes are yours either way. Giving a card to family?
Shooting your kid at a park with no ticketed event? It still mints, it's
still real — the back just shows honestly which checks passed. The high
bar exists to protect the traded cards' value, not to stop your
memories.

Questions people ask
Straight answers.
Is the app free?
Yes. Shooting, minting, keeping, and sharing digital cards is
free. You pay only if you want a card printed, and free and paid
users get the exact same mint caps — scarcity is never for sale.
What does "3 of 47 minted" mean?
Trade cards are capped at three per person per regular-season
event, fewer for playoffs and championships. The total minted at an
event freezes when the night closes — your card's number in that run
is permanent.
Can strangers see my kid's cards?
No. Team cards made through a school or program account are
visible only to that school's own community through its private
link. Kids' cards are never public and never tradeable.
What makes a card "verified"?
Three checks at the moment you shoot: taken inside the app, GPS
inside the venue, and a trusted clock inside the event window. Pass
all three and the card is verified forever. Miss one and the card
still mints — it just says honestly what happened.
Can I print at home?
You can export your card, but real Firsthand prints come from
professional card presses at 300 dpi on true card stock, shipped to
you — the same file a card shop would cut.
When does it launch?
The app arrives on Google Play first, iOS after. Join the
waitlist above and you'll know the hour it's live.
Why this exists
Firsthand was built in Dallas by a lifelong fan
who kept looking at his own photos from the stands — LeBron and Klay at
American Airlines Center, supercross at AT&T Stadium — and realized
the card industry sells everyone else's moments. Every sample on this
page is one of ours. Yours are next.
Benjamin 23 Blue Enterprise LLC · Dallas, Texas
Coming soon
The next great card is in your seat.
Firsthand is coming to Google Play. Cards minted at real
events, traded in the hub, printed to your hand.
