CBay opens a free Collector Workspace and invites its Founding 500 collectors
CBay, the ARQS local-first marketplace for trading cards and collectibles, has opened two new pages.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VANCOUVER, B.C., October 17, 2026 — CBay, the ARQS local-first marketplace for trading cards and collectibles, has opened two new pages. The free CBay Collector Workspace lets collectors track hockey, baseball, basketball, Pokémon and other cards with set and year, condition, purchase cost and estimated value, and shows the collection's total cost, estimated value and difference. It needs no account or purchase, keeps entries in the collector's own browser and never uploads them, and exports a CSV backup at any time. Values are entered by the collector, and CBay Card Values offers sourced historical market snapshots for research. Alongside it, CBay is inviting its first 500 founding collectors and 25 founding shops, dealers and show organizers to help shape its collection tools, shop directory, event listings and future seller tools. Expressing interest is free and email-based, and CBay will respond when onboarding is available. CBay has also opened MarketConnect, one place to browse collecting categories, explore market research and invite independent card shops and dealers to submit their stores for review, and its plans page lists the free CBay Discover tier. Paid CBay plans are proposed and not yet available for checkout.
