Blowout Cards

Blowout Cards operates as an online sports card trading website. The platform enables users to buy, sell, and trade sports cards. It serves collectors and enthusiasts of various sports. The company is headquartered in the United States of America. Transactions are conducted through its website, where customers can browse listings and complete purchases via a shopping cart system. The service is accessible to individuals who prefer online marketplaces for sports card exchanges.

Blowout Cards specializes exclusively in the sports card niche, focusing on facilitating transactions within that collector community. Its distinguishing attribute is the dedicated focus on sports cards rather than a broader range of collectibles or general e‑commerce goods. In January 2017 the organization experienced a payment card skimming incident when an attacker altered a PHP file on its checkout page. The breach exposed personal data such as names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, payment card numbers, expiration dates, and verification codes for customers who used the shopping cart during a multi‑month period. Following the discovery, Blowout Cards engaged third‑party forensic experts, removed the malicious code, and secured the vulnerability that had been exploited. The company notified potentially affected individuals by email and posted a website alert, although the communication was later criticized for not being sufficiently prominent.
