What Is a Digital Passport?

The Bubble Art · 5 min read

Every artwork and every graded card on The Bubble Art ships with a Digital Passport. Here's exactly what it is, what it records, and why it protects both buyers and sellers.

A certificate of authenticity that travels

The Digital Passport is a verifiable certificate of authenticity attached to each item. For an artwork, it records the artist, title, edition size and a unique serial. For a graded card, it links the grade and certification number to the physical slab. In both cases it also carries a provenance record — an ownership history that updates each time the item changes hands, and travels with the piece rather than sitting in a drawer.

What it does for buyers

For buyers, the Passport answers the central question of collecting before you pay: is this genuine, and is it what it claims to be? You can verify the origin, edition or grade on the listing, and know that the provenance will pass to you on purchase. That removes the doubt that otherwise gets priced in as risk — you buy with confidence, and you inherit a record you can show the next buyer if you ever resell.

What it does for sellers

For sellers and artists, the Passport is what lets you command the price your work deserves. Because the buyer's doubt is answered up front, verifiable authenticity supports higher and more confident bids. It's the difference between "trust me" and "here's the proof" — and it comes built in on every item, at no extra cost. In short, the Digital Passport turns a copyable file or an anonymous slab into a genuine, tradeable, trustworthy collectible.

Own and sell with proof. A Digital Passport on every piece and card — keep 97% when you sell.
