A digital take on the traditional sports card collecting, based on the blockchain. It’s been making a lot of noise on the internet in the past week or so.

Not much a collector myself, but a huge basketball/NBA fan, I signed up a few weeks ago and has been buying some base packs and trading a few “moments” – absolutely fascinating with this new type of market.
Has anyone come across this and want to share their experience?
News media tends to love their sensation headlines and content.
According to the founder of Dapper Labs (Creater of NBA Hot Shot) - most sales are within the $10-$50 range in the past 7 days. https://twitter.com/rohamg/status/1363737305605754882
$100k for an NFT doesn't even come close to other collectables.

Interesting concept. People laugh it off now but most things will eventually go digital.
I was an early adopter of digital cameras and I remember heaps of comments saying it was ridiculous and will never take off.
Yeah, I feel like it is just a matter of time that digital goods (especially collectibles) will go mainstream.
In the case of digital collectibles, there are quite a few advantages over physical:
- can’t be copied, destroyed or forged (no fakes)
- transparent audit trail to prove ownership
- effortless buying, selling and trading
NFTs are definitely an up and coming thing. Check out the VeVe app on the app store/play store, lets you buy and sell virtual NFTs that can be visualised in AR (the platform utilises the OMI token) they currently have the rights to a few IPs now including: NFL Players Association, Adventure Time, Ghostbusters, Batman, etc.
I got on this recently also, drops are really popular, didn’t get an allocation the 1st time I tried, but was lucky recently. NFTs are definitely the future

I think it’s ridiculous. The one about Zion’s block that sold for something like $200k?!
