Panini Blockchain

This is on Panini’s website. National Treasures Collection with digital and physical cards. All cards shown are logomans or logomen or whatever the plural is, lol. Thoughts?

Sounds like something I can't afford.

So there will be this version of a Zion NT Logoman and a normal Zion NT Logoman??

this is a great idea. hopefully they can utilize this tech to create the patch database the industry needs going forward!

Honestly, less than zero interest in this. I give Panini props for trying something different. But it does nothing for me it's just a gimmick.

Gimmicky. Panini really just using the "blockchain" as a buzzword to sell cards.

You can ensure your card lives forever if you just store it properly. What's the point of having a digital copy of a physical card anyways?

Bruin7 · 12-19-2019, 08:47 AM

Hmmm going to keep an eye on this

byronscott4ever · 12-19-2019, 08:48 AM

I’m interested in seeing the selling method...start high then slowly drop until sold?

There are probably hundreds of threads on here that should tell you why it's important.

I'm not following. I work with blockchain in my free time and while it may be useful as a ledger to track physical items (think supply chain), there's no way to track a physical card if it's sold/traded offline so pretty pointless to then have a digital ledger that's not even accurate.

Unless they're using it like a crypto asset which again what's the point of having the physical card in that case.

Eh, how many people lock their cards away never to be seen, except the occasional pic posting.Same thing imo.

KhalDrogo · 12-19-2019, 09:00 AM

No more details? I’m really not following how this works in conjunction with the NT release.

fdjizm · 12-19-2019, 09:02 AM

Be a shame to see a card get stolen by a hacker.

True, I just don't understand what the point of having a "blockchain" (fwiw it's probably not actually a true blockchain) if you're just going to have the physical card anyways.

I'm assuming its just a "database" on the ETH chain and that the cards have some sort of QR code on them. I also would think you would 100% have to use a panini app to utilize this

Topps told me this in 1993. They featured "Hi-tech" photographs and were indeed Topp's finest release.

Then everything greened out like Exorcist vomit.

Sorry, I had to.

Yea pretty much which defeats the entire purpose lol. I'm not sure high end collectors are going to scan the code to make sure the ledger is updated each time the card changes hands. If 1 transaction is missed the entire thing is pointless

My guess is that they expect the digital card to be sold/traded in the digital realm.

- Guy buys first digital card and gets the physical copy
- Guy sells the digital card in their marketplace
- To release the funds, Panini request the digital copy and then sends it to the new owner

Everything outside of that will be out of the scope of the release.

It's far from perfect but at least it's a positive for the digital trading game.

I suppose... Just don't see the demand, especially in the high-end realm. If I'm dropping multi-thousands on something I want it, not to have some digital copy stored somewhere on a Panini server. Having a digital copy that "lives forever" is of no value to me.

Maybe I'm in the minority here tho idk

Replica is a bad word choice
