ripdotfun seems so obvious, surprised nobody has done this before? real physical collectibles, but the trading is digital - most collectible owners whose primary purpose is trading/investing don't care for storing physical inventory on their own anyway. 

main risk i guess is you're trusting the team for safe storage. i remember stockX was planning to do this with sneakers but didn't go through with it.

unisocks comes to mind , zein was doing lots of digital + physical NFTs , there is also

actually this has been done for a lot of one-off drops back in the day, just not generalized into a product.

Yeah this is pretty much courtyard.io 

(They use brinks collectors vaults and you can claim your collectibles at any time or sell them digitally on marketplace)

I've been using them like a year now and absolutely love them.

Solid team really good selection of cards, and they just started doing comics

idk if its possible because they have to rip the packs and then upload them

Oh yea true, are they not using any vrf type solution?

They sell graded Pokemon and sports cards as single card “packs”. Essentially bundled graded cards where you can be lucky and pull something worth more than you paid for or unlucky and pull something less valuable

The elegant thing is they give you an out to get a 90% refund by giving the card back to Courtyard

Elegant because it derisks it for the end consumer to just purchase the packs AND gives you a way to upsell less valuable graded cards in the category

how to they make money ? just on sales fees ?

But actually.. if you look below the surface Courtyard is low key crushing. Revenue numbers to back it. They found a really elegant way to do the digital pack rips too that’s not obvious until you really give it thought

other projects have tried it

it’s very capital intensive with a lot of inventory risk

There are lots of private wine clubs that do this as well.  Without the onchain element

Americana was another one, didn't last too long after the nft craze

it’s been done before but hard to scale as a standalone business

for ex, https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/09/public-buys-otis-bringing-fractional-ownership-of-alternative-assets-to-its-platform

need to answer what’s unlocked by being onchain other than short-term swap fees

This was wax way back in 2017 - vIRLs I believed they called them 

Cursed EOS chain and subsequently even more cursed EOS fork 

Courtyard has had a pretty great year too

Rip is sick, excited to see it roll out more

It’s a good business idea and you could potentially then do fractional reserve collectibles whereby you issue more than you actually have hoping your customers won’t redeem them all at once hehe
