this incident pushed me back to a thought i’ve had for a long time and i’m genuinely curious what others think i’ve always believed physical cards will end up behaving like cash they're valuable and are used globally but they’re not really built to move around safely or efficiently (especially if you hold high value cards) long term, the cleanest setup for collectors feels like holding the digital version while the physical card is stored somewhere secure this solves safety, liquidity, and makes international trading quite practical, especially when you’re dealing with collectors in different countries obviously this brings in a level of trust because you have to trust the vault, the storage, the process cards need to be authenticated regardless of where they’re stored, and there has to be a real way to redeem and deliver them when someone wants the physical piece back the upside is that this unlocks the hobby for people who are geographically locked out with no access to inventory huge number of people will always prefer physical for the emotional connection but majority will choose digital storage for security, convenience, liquidity really don’t love that this happened but it feels like that’s the direction collecting is heading whether we like it or not
