## How to buy a card? <a href="#h_01hd0fqkbffvxnxvxajxyatmns" id="h_01hd0fqkbffvxnxvxajxyatmns"></a>

To purchase a card, you need to go to the marketplace located on the [CTA Portal](https://crosstheages.com/portal/), then log in to your game account or via a local wallet. Next, go to the "**Market**" tab.

Choose "**Products**" to access a list of all CTA assets:

On "**Items**" tab, you have an individual view of all CTA assets:

By clicking on the card, you will have access to all its metadata, including various statistics such as recent sale prices and the button to purchase:

Once you've made your selection, click on the "**Buy**" button and then confirm your purchase:

For security purposes, a **MagicLink validation** **email** may be required during the first purchase. That's it! The card is yours, and you can find it directly in-game and in "**My Assets**."

## To purchase multiple cards at once

You can make bulk purchases by selecting multiple items at once. To do this, click on the small button next to the filters in the "**Items**" category.

Select all the cards you want to buy at once, then click on "**Buy**." The total purchase price of all the selected assets will be displayed on the right corner.

**1. On the CTA marketplace, do I only see purchases/sales made on this marketplace alone?**&#x20;

No, you can track all the exchanges made on all marketplaces such as Tokentrove, IMX Rarible, etc. You can do it because everything is on the blockchain.
