StockX's venture into graded trading cards has a new element as of right now.

It's the first trading card IPO on the platform -- 2019 Bowman Chrome X baseball cards -- and boxes of this limited release are live. There are five-box cases already active, too.

There is no suggested retail price for this initial product offering. Instead, the market lets the bidders set the price for these boxes after they sign up for a StockX account.

Each and every box of 2019 Bowman Chrome X new from Topps contains a PSA 9 or PSA 10 Green X-Fractor rookie or prospect card inside -- and each of them is serial-numbered to just 31 copies from a lineup of just 100 players selected to appear in this release.
