The collectibles platform behind Lab 111 Sports

Forged Index

Build the brand. Own the opportunity. Put real demand behind your collection. Connect athlete-approved products, documented rarity, direct supporter sales and approved auction opportunities in one collectible program.

More than a card directory. Forged Index brings the collection's creative, physical, digital and operational parts together. Program participation is not a transfer of software ownership. Open each component to see what it includes and the access or approval it requires.

A documented connection to the athlete gives collectors a reason to care. A confirmed limited run defines the edition's rarity. A completed, paid sale shows what a buyer actually paid. Together, these help build a credible market story around your collection, without pretending every card has a guaranteed price.

03

Authentication

Edition-dependent · not every card is signed

Match verification to the actual edition. Signature authentication, certificates and numbering must reflect the specific approved card and its documented process.

  • Signed-edition authentication where applicable
  • Confirmed information, without invented provenance

Fan Relationships

Operating · membership and purchase gates apply

Connect a physical purchase to an athlete relationship. Approved profiles, posts and member interactions give supporters a place to follow the collection and its creator.

  • Fan profile access tied to purchased athlete cards
  • Permission-based comments and text messaging; video is off
Understand member access

Collectible Insights

Operating · insights depend on access level

Give the collection evidence behind its story. Athlete-approved origin, confirmed edition sizes and recorded paid sales help collectors understand what they are buying and how demand is developing.

  • Documented athlete connection and confirmed edition information
  • Paid sales show what buyers spent; member-level insights stay access-controlled
  • Completed, paid auction results can provide price references; auction metrics are not yet included in the Index

06

Commerce

Store and reports operating · auction features gated

Turn your own name into a product supporters can buy. Connect direct card sales, approved auction opportunities, orders and fulfillment with private reporting for your assigned products.

  • Wix store and checkout
  • Authorized sales and supporter reports
  • Timed auction availability shown in the hub; paid fan auctions disabled pending verification
Explore the marketplace

Live auction video, guest broadcasts and messaging video are paused. Paid fan-seller auctions remain disabled until payment setup is verified. Auction publication and bidding depend on the hub's current availability and owner approval. No external-marketplace royalty is implied.

Two models. Clear boundaries.

Build your brand.
License the agreed framework.

Athletes

Your name is not our software.

You retain your name, image, likeness and pre-existing rights under your agreement. Card inventory, approved artwork, promotion and revenue terms are handled separately in that agreement. Participating in the program does not buy Lab 111's software or technology.

The existing plans are 50% Athlete / 50% Lab 111 with no enrollment fee, or 70% Athlete / 30% Lab 111 with a $200 one-time enrollment fee. Splits use Net Sales Receipts after the agreed exclusions and deductions.

Review the Athlete Program

Teams & leagues

A program license, not platform ownership.

Your written proposal defines the approved usage rights, term, services, fees, included design work, any production credits and separate manufacturing and fulfillment scope. Access is reviewed and limited to assigned products.

No source code, underlying technology, third-party software ownership or unrestricted athlete rights transfer automatically. Lab 111 and third-party technology remain with their respective owners.

Discuss an Organization License

Ownership Over Ambassadorship.

Build something
around your own name.

Representing another brand can still be part of the plan. Do not forget to build something around your own identity, collection and supporters, too.

Sales, prices, demand and future resale opportunities are not guaranteed. Independent collector resales do not automatically pay an athlete.
