Key people at Misprint.
Misprint was founded in 2025 by Eva Herget (Founder) and Jonathan Jenkins (Founder).
Misprint has raised $500K in total across 1 funding round.
Misprint is an all-in-one marketplace that solves the biggest pain point in the collectibles world: opaque pricing. Collectors, investors, and hobbyists currently rely on scattered data from auction houses, online forums, and reseller platforms, making it difficult to know the true value of their items. Misprint streamlines the process by combining accurate pricing analytics with a seamless buy/sell marketplace, making it easier than ever to understand and monetize collectible assets.
Existing marketplaces lack robust, real-time analytics because accurate valuations require deep expertise in both the collectibles domain and advanced pricing algorithms. Misprint’s unique blend of insider trading card knowledge and machine learning allows us to fill this gap.
Building these pricing models requires extensive data infrastructure, deep domain expertise, and cutting-edge ML. Recent surges in the trading card market show that collectors crave transparent valuations.
The global collectibles market is worth tens of billions of dollars. Eva has experienced the scale of this industry firsthand, generating $500k ARR within three months of taking her Pokemon card-selling side hustle full-time. With additional segments like sports cards, comics, and emerging collectible categories, the growth runway is immense.
Co-founders Eva and Jon have been best friends since Exeter, combining finance expertise, a passion for collectibles, and mathematical rigor. By merging Goldman Sachs-level financial analytics with top-tier mathematical talent, Misprint is uniquely positioned to become the go-to platform for fair, transparent pricing in the collectibles space.
Misprint is a data-driven, real-time bid/ask marketplace designed to revolutionize how collectors buy, sell, and value graded Pokémon cards. It serves collectors, investors, and hobbyists by providing transparent pricing powered by advanced machine learning algorithms, enabling users to know the true market value of their cards instantly. The platform solves the problem of opaque, inconsistent pricing and inefficient auctions common in the collectibles market by offering a seamless, symmetric marketplace with instant bid/ask matching and secure settlements. Misprint’s growth is marked by rapid adoption, with $40K/month in card transactions and a strong community of verified buyers and sellers[1][2][3].
Misprint was founded by Eva and Jonathan, who combined their passion for collectibles with expertise in finance and machine learning. Jonathan, a mathematician and published researcher, left his PhD program to develop cutting-edge pricing algorithms for collectibles. The idea emerged from Eva’s frustration with slow, inefficient pricing and listing processes in the Pokémon card market. After building a tool to price cards faster and gathering millions of sales data for over 200,000 unique cards, they realized the potential for a larger marketplace. Encouraged by their network, they applied to Y Combinator, which accelerated their growth and transformed Misprint from a side project into a full-fledged startup[1][2].
Misprint rides the growing trend of digitizing and democratizing collectibles markets through data transparency and technology. The timing is favorable due to increasing interest in collectibles as alternative investments and the demand for more efficient, trustworthy marketplaces. By applying machine learning and real-time market mechanics, Misprint addresses inefficiencies in traditional auction houses and fragmented online forums. This approach not only modernizes the Pokémon card market but also sets a precedent for other collectibles sectors, influencing how digital marketplaces evolve and how asset valuation is approached in niche markets[1][2].
Looking ahead, Misprint is poised to expand beyond Pokémon cards into other collectible categories, leveraging its technology and community to become a leading marketplace for graded trading cards and collectibles. Trends such as increased interest in alternative assets, blockchain integration for provenance, and enhanced AI-driven analytics will likely shape its trajectory. Misprint’s influence may grow as it continues to improve liquidity, pricing transparency, and user experience, potentially redefining collectibles trading as seamlessly as Robinhood did for stocks[1][2][3].
