Receive the physical card
Compare the Card ID, QR or NFC entry, edition number, approved image and certificate number against the public Registry page.
How It Works
Reliable handover means physical card plus NFT Certificate.
The physical card is the collectible. The NFT Certificate is its digital proof. For the strongest handover, the buyer should receive the card and control the matching certificate wallet record.
Core handover logic
Most reliable handover
The physical item and the digital certificate point to the same EditionKey Registry record.
Control the NFT Certificate
When an NFT Certificate exists, the certificate should be transferred to a wallet the buyer controls. Private keys should never be shared or handed over.
Complete the handover
The strongest result is physical custody plus certificate control, both matching the same EditionKey identity record.
Core handover logic
How to read the handover
The card may still be authentic, but the digital certificate handover is incomplete.
You control a digital certificate, but that alone does not mean you hold the physical collectible.
This is the most reliable complete handover: card custody and certificate control move together.
Safety & Policy
EditionKey is a registry and certificate system. It is not a trading marketplace, investment adviser, broker, exchange, or promise of asset value.
EditionKey does not provide bidding, trading, price discovery, platform tokens or investment advice.
An NFT Certificate is the physical card's digital certificate. It is not a promise of return, buyback, liquidity or resale value.
A chain owner can indicate the wallet holding a certificate, but it does not automatically prove custody of the physical item.
Indexed Only or candidate records must never be presented as EditionKey endorsement without human review.
