Just search museum 2016

There are a ton of them that show up now. Some are reasonable prices IF they were the real cards.

I have gotten to excited to realize these are electronic cards

Yeah, electronic cards should have it's own, separate category.

I submitted a best offer on one, fortunately he countered. I don't think they are authorized to be sold on ebay.

I report them all the time. They are prohibited. Doesn't do any good I don't think.

I agree. Digital cards get in the way.

Reading the auction item title and description helps in these situations. Or just add "-bunt" to your search strings.

Well yes I agree reading the title but I scroll through pretty fast on my phone and when you see a silver sig card that looks legit you get a tad excited.

And the you read the whole title and boom bunt or digital. So annoying

But you won't see them in your search results if you just do what he told you

I saved up a bunch of points and bought a pack of Museum for 600k and pulled a Byron Buxton Signature Swatches dual patch auto card and a Kyle Schwarber Premium Prints auto. How does one even go about selling these things? It's crazy to me that people actually spend good money for any digital card.

I agree, it's dumbfounding to me. I could understand just trading these with other people, but to actually spend good money on something that doesn't exist outside of a computer screen is just mind-numbing.

I'm not sure there's such a huge difference between digital and physical cards. Both serve essentially no purpose but people like them so they have monetary value. The positives for digital are that you don't have to worry about condition and you can carry your entire collection with you at all times. The negative is that you can't really display them. Most of the people on Bunt don't spend a dime, they just use the free coins they get each day. Some people collect the cards they get and play the fantasy games, others sell every insert they get for money. The people who buy them aren't idiots, they just value things differently than you do. Spending good money on any card, physical or digital, is mind-numbing to a lot of people (just ask my wife).

For regular cards yes but at least for me personally, I don't collect regular cards. I almost exclusively collect autographs and mostly of HOF'ers. Sorry but holding a card that Aaron, Mantle, Koufax or Ruth personally held in theirs and has their autograph on, can never be replicated by a few digital bits that exist in cyber space. Also, I have most of my PC on PB so I too can carry my collection with me at all times but I also can hold something tangible in my hands when I want to, you can't do that with virtual cards.

Yep, pretty much this, and by pretty much, I mean exactly.

I understand what topps is trying to get at with bunt but there really is zero hold value in these electronic cards in the long run. Even if bryce harper's rc auto patch (if he had one in bunt) would fetch almost nothing unless accidentally bid on because someone thought it was real.

I would never buy a Bunt card because it will never replace collecting physical cards for me. I do hit the app once a day and get coins. I let them accumulate over the course of the year, and had enough to 'open' a box of Museum.

I sold the best 'cards' in the box for $34, including one card for $15. I have no clue what possesses people to collect this way, but there is a clear market out there. To each his own I guess.

I've got almost 600,000 saved up and I don't know why as I have zero idea what to do with it. I just log on everyday, collect my 10k and log out. How do you even transfer one of these stupid digital cards if selling? The entire concept just baffles me as to why it's a thing.

You have to do a trade once someone buys a card from you...essentially swap a card both of you have and add the sold card to your end. People who buy have the process down pretty well, I've never had a problem with someone being confused.

Of course, now that they are releasing Museum and Bowman Bunt cards, and now that Bunt cards will be in packs soon, it could get much more confusing.

Trick to selling bunt on eBay is....mail a receipt pwe
Offer free shipping
Avoid the chargeback

I've done well selling bunt on eBay but every now and then some fool pulls the "my son can't read so I don't want this card I submitted a best offer on" or "it never arrived in mail".

The cards are digital, there is a large market for these.

Make that money.

I can't wait for all of the confusion that is going to happen on E-bay later in the year when Topps Bunt comes out in cardboard. It's going to be fun going through vaguely worded descriptions to figure out which is pixels and which is cardboard. :rolleyes:

That's another thing I don't understand. It's easy to differentiate between digital and real

They're in his account. He's the only person (besides Topps) that has access to those cards.

people are making all kinds of money selling these including me. You need to get on board they are not going anywhere. Give the hobby another decade and all your new cards will be digital :)!

I could be wrong, but I highly doubt that. And, there's more to life than worrying about making money. I like money as much as the next guy, but don't need piles of it to be happy. Some people are in this hobby to enjoy actual collecting, just sayin. :)!

It's hard enough for Topps to keep physical cards/unauthorized superfractor 'proofs' from being distributed, so I have to wonder about their online security.

Probably harder for the management to backdoor digital and blame it on employee theft.

This might of been mentioned did no read whole thread

Search

2016 museum -bunt

It helps with the super annoying group break listings in new products..

IE

I list mine with 'local pickup' so that no one expects shipping. When someone buys a card, you get their Bunt ID. Send them a trade with a card you both have on both sides and add the sold card on your side.
