NFTs as digital collectibles continue to be the most obvious use case and where we are moving.
NFTs make things more collectible. Not just easier to collect but literally improve the value of the underlying.
There’s a ton of examples of where NFTs don’t work too. But it looks like we’re going to have the next leg up here, and its worth exploring what that looks like.
Let me set the stage with contrasting examples, one you probably know, one you probably don’t:
- 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card sold for $12m+ a couple of years ago. This is a regular issue card, there are multiple of the same, but this one has survived the test of time in very good condition.
- Mickey Mantle’s 1956 World Series baseball glove sold for $239k. This is a 1-of-1, moment in time, relevant piece that was actually used by the player himself in the highest stakes the game of baseball offers.
Both of these are linked to the same man, but have vastly different values, and counter-intuitively, the more historically relevant item is far less valuable. Why?
One was designed to be collectible, the other was not.
Baseball cards are widely collected and culturally relevant. The card sits atop a mountain of millions of other cards as the holy grail of all baseball cards. The glove has amazing provenance but sits atop a much smaller hill that is specific to Mickey Mantle collectors.
The baseball glove is scarcer but has less liquidity as a consequence, while the card is less scarce but has far more liquidity.
What makes something evermore collectible is depth of world around that collectible. The depth of the world in which it lives, the depth of the other collectibles in the same market, its provenance and aura, and its cultural relevance. All of these drive demand for collecting specifically, improve liquidity and actually make something scarce.
Scarcity is not just limited supply, its limited supply as it applies to demand. There are a million and one scarce objects in the world with little-to-no value. Demand is critical.
The next phase of NFTs should focus on building demand and capturing a wider audience across the collectibles themselves. The more entrants into the world in which a set of collectibles exists, the better it is. Those collectors can come from different products, price points, or entry points, so long as they all build towards the same collectibles’ hierarchy.
This is where NFTs are so valuable. They’re immutable. They are trusted. They can’t be replicated. There is no risk of being diluted, as each are stamped with their own unique metadata.
All of this empowers the underlying world of collectibles to grow further at pace, with a deeper collectors world than you’d otherwise have.
One of the coolest stats we track for this @Claynosaurz is % listings across all collections. This is a good signal of true collectors demand.
