# Wall -> Market

Tokenized art does not need to be physically shipped between collectors.  Instead, convert the art print into a token and sell it in an onchain market.   

{% hint style="info" %}
You will need a web3 wallet that supports Ethereum and a small amount of ETH.  Ownership tokens are stored in a non-custodial onchain vault and can't be removed until 150 days after purchase of the physical art piece.
{% endhint %}

#### Remove the security sticker on the back of your art piece.

Tip:   You can unlock your token with a desktop browser.  Go to the [Supply State](https://app.cryptoart.com/supply) page, locate your art piece, and click the Unpair button. &#x20;

{% step %}

#### **Sell your token on** [**OpenSea**](https://opensea.io/collection/cryptoartcom/) **or** [**trade it**](https://app.cryptoart.com/mint) **for another art piece.**

That's it!   You've just bypassed the biggest problem with collecting limited edition art prints - physical conveyance.  The new owner can convert the token back into the same physical art print.
