Dibbs is a 24-7, real-time marketplace for trading sports cards. It makes collecting more accessible by empowering fans to buy and sell fractional interests in their favorite athletes’ cards with as little as $1. Available on iOS, Android and Web.
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).

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.
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.
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.
@r0bgj Thanks, Roberto! We definitely plan on putting out more educational content, along with more video content as a whole. We appreciate your support!
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.
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 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.
@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!
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!
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.
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 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.
@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.
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!
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!
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
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!
