Top Shot and it’s popularity makes me almost feel like a dinosaur staring up at the meteor. The commoditization of cards with grading was one thing, but digital videos that are numbered and instantly traded like cryptocurrency? Uh oh.
Thoughts:
-you don’t need insurance/secure storage on your investment/collectable
-grading and the price/wait goes out the window
-shipping/receiving is taken out of the equation
-they can ‘mine’ the history of the league
Who knows— hypernormalization has numbed me to any surprise/twist/turn the future can serve up, and if this kind of thing eventually replaces physical sports cards with new generations, I’ll be mostly non-reactive to that too. It just makes me want to hug my canvas Impeccable cards.
