The Sorare NBA Marketplace includes New Card Auctions and Manager Sales.
New Card Auctions allow you to buy newly minted cards directly from Sorare, meaning you will be the first-ever owner of that specific card. Each auction has an expiration date and time when the card will be sold; if you are the highest bidder when the auction expires, you'll win that card and it will be added to your collection. This is the only way to purchase newly minted cards.
To purchase newly minted cards directly from Sorare visit the New Card Auctions via the Market tab of sorare.com/nba:
- Use the filters on the left to find the card you want
- When you are ready, click on the Bid button
- A pop-up asking for a credit card or ETH payment will appear
- Choose your payment method, define your bid amount, and click on Bid to place your bid
- You may have to validate card payments via 3DS (authentication system to detect fraud); open your bank's mobile app or check your phone (SMS) to validate the bid
- For payments using your Sorare wallet, choose ETH as your payment method, define your bid, make sure you have sufficient ETH in your wallet, and then click on Bid to place your bid
Manager Sales allows Sorare NBA managers to list cards from their collection, creating a direct peer-to-peer secondary marketplace. This is the only way to add a card to your collection instantly, without waiting for an auction to conclude.
