eBay Collectibles Vault Trials

2023

We teamed up with eBay Collectibles to build a marquee booth showcasing the eBay Vault at the Mint Collective — the pinnacle event of premier card trading. As the first major collaboration between Residence companies BUCK and VTProDesign, our activation celebrated the eBay Vault by melding the physical and digital — giving collectors an exciting chance to interact with their favorite cards.

The Challenge

The eBay Vault houses some of the most highly coveted (and expensive) trading cards in the world in a secure, climate-controlled facility. Traders are religious about their collections, but they often can’t physically see or touch the cards that they love and cherish.

So how do you let card enthusiasts experience the magic of the Vault without physically going there?

Our Solution

Let super-fans get up close and personal with the collections through VR. We tested users’ trading card knowledge with three fast-paced mini-games that gave a glimpse into the treasures hidden within the Vault. Plus, the person with the highest score could win a card from the Vault worth up to $500.

Residence was the one-stop shop for the job, using our design and tech wizardry to create an experience as epic in virtual reality as the Vault is in real life.
