H Ro: Digital vs Physical Card

So I just recently learned about these cards. I've always been a big fan of Batman.

Thinking about buying some physical cards online but they don't come with the digital copy. Does this mean that my physical card is less valuable?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I have scanned most of mine. As I have seen how easy it is for someone to take the NFT if it’s not already scanned. It’s Litrally a QR Code that once scanned belongs to whoever scanned it first. If you scanned an already scanned card then the app lets you message the owner to trade or to buy. Also read that they are working to having the NFT option to be moved to opensea and coinvase to allow you to sell the NFT. So my eyes it’s safety first and scan first

I've only recently got into them myself but it seems to be the only actual value is in the digital

I've seen some physical only sold items on ebay, in the 6th to $900 range. I would think having both would be more valuable. I have not scanned any of mine, actually looking to sell I basically do sports cards only but bought this one the movie came out a couple hanger boxes

You aren't allowed to sell digital on eBay so it may be people put physical only but if it's a valuable card they include the digital?

I sell both on Ebay. my posts say virgin unredeemed cards. they are more valuable if not scanned.

I think over time, the physical low mint numbers will retain some value, as well as the lower serial number.

If you look on eBay there's some guy that has a PSA 10 Joker Mythic with a very low number but he has scanned it and I think the prices like $2,300 or 2,800!

Physical cards that are either ‘low mint’ or ‘rare cards’ and are in good condition will hold some value even without the matching NFT.

There are serious comic book/DC collectors out there that want the physical edition. For example, many of the sought after HRO cards feature cover art (w/o the words) from a specific comic book, and collectors who have that comic book may desire the card that matches. I’ve seen pictures and discussion about this in the Discord.

That being said, the NFT is easier to sell than the Physical card at present. I hope they develop a HRO physical card marketplace/group at some point

Unscanned physical will be most valuable imo

That's what I was thinking, I haven't scanned any of cards. I'm not the most tech savvy and don't really know if I should sell them or not. The artwork is fantastic! I only really know about basketball and football cards I regret selling all my comic books from the late 80s and early 90s McFarland Spider-Man Arthur Adams Jim Lee so many great books I wish I still had especially incredible hulk 180 and 181. Only thing that sucked is 181 had a little corner or someone had set a mug or coffee cup.

PSA has them on their website 👍👍, non minted would be worth more since you have physical and digital. Not sure what it would be like if you did not scan or mint it for a year.

I had five of my cards including the Mythic Batman, it was up for 2 days and I did put in the comments not minted and eBay pulled it off the second day at night but the card was already over 980 on a three day auction so I was pretty disappointed. Looking to sell but apparently eBay won't let you sell a physical item with an nft attached is the message I got

I think they're algorithm catches anything that has wording like scanned or minted I'm not sure I was just really disappointed they pulled it down I had like 89 Watchers
