About Pristine Auction
Jared and Camilla Kavlie started Pristine Auction in 2010 as a family business run from home. It is legally JCK Enterprises LLC and works from a 37,000-square-foot building in north Phoenix. It sells signed memorabilia, cards and mystery boxes, mostly with third-party authentication from firms like PSA and JSA.
Pristine runs daily and weekly timed auctions, a monthly premium sale and quick ten-minute auctions. Pristine Live streams auctions on its site and app, including from card shows. Live wins are paid right away, while timed wins are due within 7 days.
