Hello Product Hunt! I’m Evan, one of the founders of dibbs.io. I am very excited to launch here on Product Hunt. I’ve been a huge sports fan my entire life, and in recent years, I’ve gotten increasingly involved in the crypto/NFT world. Dibbs is a product of those two passions. It leverages blockchain technology to make card collecting and trading more accessible and fun by fractionalizing cards in the first and only 24-7, real-time fractional trading card marketplace. Key things to know: - Anyone can get started with as little as $1 - You can buy (and sell) pieces of your favorite athletes’ cards instantly - You can also buy into a “Player Collection” - a piece of every card available for a specific player - Trading happens around the clock, in real-time - Cards on Dibbs are real - stored in a secure vault - minted as NFTs - fractionalized on-chain - Any card can be taken off-platform as an NFT (and moved to other compatible markets or wallets) or shipped physically to your home - Available on iOS, Android and Web We’re just coming out of Beta and would love to know what you think. We’ve had a lot of fun so far because the 24-7, real-time nature of Dibbs means that card prices are more connected to player and team performance than we ever anticipated (the NBA playoffs being the most recent example). Please check it out: https://dibbs.app.link/ph2021 What features should we build next? What kinds of cards or other collectibles should we add to the market? I am anxious to get the Product Hunt community’s feedback.
Maiara Andrade
What a cool concept! Congrats to the team! So wait, can I actually get the real card if I buy it on Dibbs?
Ari Leffell
@_maiandrade Thanks, Maiara! Yes, there are buyout capabilities if you gain enough ownership of a card!
Tommy Massari
@_maiandrade You bet!
Collin Hartigan
Dibbs is a really interesting concept. Love that they've mixed the concepts of scarcity, digitization of physical assets, and quantifying player value. This is probably ahead of the curve at the moment and it's awesome to see @evan_vandenberg and team bringing this to life.
Ari Leffell
@evan_vandenberg @collinhartigan Appreciate it Collin!
Tommy Massari
@collinhartigan Love the feedback Collin. We appreciate your support!
Warren Levitan
Great work Evan and team! Great concept, great implementation, great overall experience. Love the Player Collection investing. Keep it up!
Evan Vandenberg
@wlevitan Thank you Warren for the kind words! Lots of new features, verticals and capabilities coming soon.
Roberto Guerrero
This is very cool. Excited to see you guys go live and out of beta. I agree with the comments. This is headed in the right direction. I love that you guys have a "learn" section. I would like to see this continue. As more people become interested or curious in NFTs, they will want to learn about it and how it works. Being a good resource for them will be a great way to earn their trust and have them jump on board with you. Explanation videos specifically would go a long way. These videos should be on both NFTs in general, as well as how to trade on Dibbs, tips, etc.
Ari Leffell
@r0bgj Thanks, Roberto! We definitely plan on putting out more educational content, along with more video content as a whole. We appreciate your support!
Tommy Massari
@r0bgj Great feedback. Thanks Roberto!
Matthew Canzoneri
I was able to join the beta and love it so far. Was essentially priced out of the "trading cards as an alternative asset" market, but Dibbs changes all of that.
Ari Leffell
@mdcanzoneri Love to hear that! Thanks for the support!
Vlad Cazacu
I am very excited about this product and be able to start trading cards. However, I wasn't able to complete my registration. I tried several times over the past week as well as today using the promo code. Identity verification, settings, etc. all I get is "Something went wrong".
Ari Leffell
@vlad_cazacu1 Hi Vlad, I'm sorry to hear that. Are you based in the US? Currently, we are only available in the US.
Vlad Cazacu
@ari_leffell Yes! Based in the US, attempted the identity verification with a US driver's license. Everything on iPhone iOS 14.6 running Dibbs 2.1.0 Happy to chat more over email if that works. I would love to get access to the platform and I'd be very happy to provide support in figuring out this bug.
Ari Leffell
@vlad_cazacu1 Absolutely. We will take care of you. The best way would be to join our discord, https://discord.gg/JPP2pQFq, and start a support ticket in there and we can figure this out for you!
Daniel Marver
Was lucky enough to get access on an earlier beta version of this app and it has really come a long way in the last few months. I think this has the potential to be huge. Awesome way to diversify and also learn about alternative assets. Loving it so far, thanks Dibbs!
Ari Leffell
@daniel_marver Thanks, Daniel! We appreciate the support!
Evan Vandenberg
@daniel_marver Thanks Dan!
Tommy Massari
@daniel_marver Happy to hear you like the improvements! Many more great things to come
Alex Vasquez
Great product that makes you wonder how this wasn't around years ago. Perfect for someone like me who looks over player stats and trends as if it's my job. Looking forward to getting all of the available Mets cards in my portfolio.
Ari Leffell
@alexvr Thanks, Alex!
Kieran George
Come a long way since we shared the WAX slack. Keep up the great work folks on this. Love to see and enjoy things like this
Ari Leffell
@kieran_george1 We appreciate it!
Tommy Massari
@kieran_george1 Thanks Kieran!
Tommy Massari
Dibbs is a game-changer for anyone who appreciates capitalizing on their knowledge of sports and sports cards. The market is easy to understand and so fun to be a part of. Can't wait to watch the community grow around this incredible product!
James Halliday
NFTs will drive the future economy. The concept of tokenizing tangible assets is where the puck is going. Impressive app for such a young company.
Evan Vandenberg
@james_halliday Appreciate it James! And could not agree with you more in regards to NFTs and the tokenization of physical assets being the future. So much additional functionality is provided to the customers and the applications that can be created to support and enhance the product offering are undeniable.
Tommy Massari
@james_halliday This guy gets it. Thanks James!
J Levine
Love the app! Do you think the market will trend up and down when a sport is in season vs in the offseason?
Alex Vasquez
@j_levine Definitely trends according to player performance. The Pete Alonso collection shot up in value as he won the Derby, as has CP3's during this NBA Finals run.
Nick Neuenfeldt
In today's day and age where everyone is looking for new ways to invest, the Dibbs team has created an amazing product to do that and incorporate people's love of sports into the process! This app is real game changer!
Ari Leffell
@nick_neuenfeldt Thanks Nick! We appreciate it!
Tommy Massari
@nick_neuenfeldt Glad you think so, Nick!
Lupo
Been following this through beta. Excited to see what's next, they're always working to make it better
Ari Leffell
@anthony_lupo Thanks Anthony! We appreciate your support!
Alec Norman
I love cards! This is just the easiest, most straight forward, and most exciting way to collect and trade. My favorite part is the player bundles, where I can zero in on a player, not worry about the specific cards, but predict that their collection will go up. This is the future of cards!
Patrick McPherson
The market dynamics are completely wacky! For the life of me, I can't understand why an asset would have a cap cost of 2-5X the market price? Best I can tell is that the investor base is way to small to actually make rational fractional investments based on the real market pricing
Dan Nissel
Love this app! Great way for me to break into the card game. Love all the new features that keep getting added… can’t wait to see what’s next!
Ari Leffell
@dniss39 Thank you, Dan!
Cary Vandenberg
Very impressive App! Clean look and fun to use. Great selection of cards already. This platform has huge potential and love the options available to trade - single card, player portfolio and ability to buy a fraction or full card. Keep up the innovative work!
Tommy Massari
@cary_vandenberg Thank you, Cary!
Nick Kwan
Great product and great team!
Ari Leffell
@nwkwan Thanks, Nick!
Tommy Massari
@nwkwan Thanks for the kind words, Nick!
