Manufacturing & Compliance

At MysterySportCards, every sealed product we create is built on transparency, consistency, and fairness.
We operate under JFCOLLECTIBLES LLC, based in White Bear Lake, MN, and proudly meet all standards outlined in Whatnot’s Professionally Sealed Surprise Products Policy (effective November 3, 2025).

Our Manufacturing Process

All MysterySportCards products are professionally sealed, retail-ready packs produced under a controlled, multi-step process designed to ensure full compliance and quality assurance.

Manufacturing and pack assembly are managed by our independent manufacturing partner, FischerSMM, located in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
FischerSMM oversees every stage of card selection, curation, sealing preparation, and randomization to maintain strict separation between the seller (MysterySportCards) and the manufacturing process.

Our retail packaging — the branded wrappers and protective materials that hold each sealed product — is designed and produced through The Packaging Lab, a professional packaging company based in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
They create the custom, retail-grade packaging materials that ensure every MysterySportCards product meets professional presentation and labeling standards consistent with Whatnot’s requirements.

Each product line — including our Emerald, Sapphire, Gold, and Ruby Editions — follows strict manufacturing controls:

  • Guaranteed hit in every pack (auto, patch, or graded card)

  • Randomized and audited distribution to ensure fairness

  • Tamper-evident packaging sealed under FischerSMM supervision

  • Custom packaging materials professionally produced by The Packaging Lab

  • Batch tracking and documentation for every sealed case

  • Visual verification before shipment to guarantee consistency

This structure — combining professional manufacturing, third-party packaging, and strict documentation — ensures all MysterySportCards products qualify as professionally sealed surprise products under Whatnot’s standards.

Transparency & Product Documentation

We publish a checklist for every series, detailing production numbers, card types, and product structure.
These checklists create transparency for both Whatnot reviewers and customers.

Each checklist is:

  • Reviewed before every product release

  • Available publicly through our website or Whatnot listings

  • Retained for audit and verification purposes

We do not advertise guaranteed “value floors” or “ceiling hits.”
Every pack is randomized to ensure an authentic, unbiased experience.

Compliance & Quality Standards

Our manufacturing model directly aligns with Whatnot’s Professionally Sealed Surprise Products policy:

✅ Professionally Sealed Product
All packs are heat-sealed and tamper-evident, produced through an independent manufacturing process.

✅ Independent Oversight
FischerSMM manages all packaging and sealing separately from MysterySportCards sales operations.

✅ Professional Packaging Materials
All printed and retail packaging is professionally produced by The Packaging Lab to ensure consistent quality and labeling compliance.

✅ Public Checklist
Each release includes a published checklist confirming transparency.

✅ Randomized Fairness
Pack distribution is tracked and verified by batch and case number.

✅ Honest Marketing
No guaranteed value or misleading claims — only clear, accurate product descriptions.

✅ Audit Readiness
SOPs, checklists, and photos of packaging and production are securely maintained and available for review.

Audit & Verification Readiness

MysterySportCards, FischerSMM, and The Packaging Lab collectively maintain documentation of:

  • Packaging and sealing procedures

  • Product checklists for each release

  • Packaging material proofs and design files

  • Batch logs, shipping records, and photo documentation

All documentation is retained for a minimum of 12 months and is available to Whatnot’s Trust & Safety team or third-party auditors upon request.

Our Commitment

We’ve built a compliant, transparent manufacturing system that separates product creation, sealing, and packaging — meeting every expectation outlined by Whatnot.
Through FischerSMM’s manufacturing oversight and The Packaging Lab’s professional packaging support, we ensure that every product sold by MysterySportCards is consistent, secure, and professionally presented.

Our mission is simple: to deliver the most trusted, transparent, and professionally sealed surprise products in the sports-card industry.
