2024 Donruss Optic Purple Refractor. Ladd McConkey. PSA 9. Card Ladder EV: $42 PSA pop EV: $28 Paxxel EV: $25 → $0.39/pack McConkey had one of the best rookie seasons of 2024. This card is moving. 64 packs. One winner takes it home. → paxxel.io → Discord: discord.gg/EXC6NfWb

Crypto people sometimes underestimate how much infrastructure already exists in cards. PSA/BGS/CGC = trust layer Card Ladder/PriceCharting/eBay = pricing layer Vaults/LCSs = custody layer Collectors = demand layer

@TylerDurden bingo

Bullshit. They’d never tell us.

@StarPlatinum_ I had thought X like lowered the value of api replies … weird

Why is X so far behind when it comes to dealing with stupid AI replies? I genuinely think any account using them should be suspended. It’s frustrating to make a post and have the first 5-6 replies come from people who clearly haven’t even read the content and don’t care about it. They just want to farm impressions and engagement. I go viral on TikTok and Instagram every day, and this doesn’t happen there It’s a terrible experience for users who actually take this app seriously.

Yes. To simplify it. A lawyer had to post a free article on something they knew to get indexed into search results and help marketing LLM removes this entirely, it was trained on the data They will have to figure out a way to monetize content people create if it’s included in a model or something

Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird. The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free. AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions. And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable. We built the library. Someone else started charging admission.

@solana_sailor @Collector_Crypt @solana @SolanaFndn @toly Bookmarked, we should get on it soon

The Solana TCG scene is getting crowded, so I dug through it and made a curated map. 🎴 Bookmark this if you’re into packs, cards and onchain collectibles. Core Solana first 👇 • @Collector_Crypt One of the main infrastructure layers for tokenized TCG on Solana. Vaulted graded cards, digital packs, instant sellback, physical redemption and onchain ownership. • @gacha_game_ A dedicated pack-ripping platform for graded cards. Digital packs, real collectibles and global redemption, with a clean consumer experience. • @gachasports Sports cards meet pack ripping. Powered by Collector Crypt, but focused on real sports collectibles instead of the usual Pokémon/One Piece angle. • @phygitals Physical collectibles connected to digital ownership. Cards and other real assets become easier to trade, track and move through crypto rails. • @Artifacte_inc A broader collectibles and RWA project. Cards are part of the picture, but the angle extends into luxury collectibles and gacha-style mechanics powered by Collector Crypt. • @BONKUJI_inu An onchain oripa-style project for Pokémon/One Piece grails. The distinctive part is the connection to the wider BONK brand and culture, which makes it feel very native to Solana. • @TokenRips Not really TCG, but worth including for the pack mechanic. Instead of opening packs for cards, users open packs for Solana tokens. Same “rip and reveal” behavior, different prize layer. • @PokeRescue A Pokémon-focused collector tool around graded cards and NFTs. More about discovery, alerts and finding opportunities than classic pack ripping. • @Collector_roll 1v1 Pokémon pack battles on Solana. Two players open packs against each other, and the best pull wins the pot. • @Slabzapp A Solana collectibles arcade. Games, packs and real cards, with more going on after the initial rip. • @dmdotfun A broader Solana consumer app with pack ripping inside. Chat, trade, meme, predict and open Pokémon packs in the same app. • @Rosentica A gameplay layer for TCG collectors. Online battles with real-world TCG cards, built with MagicBlock and powered by Collector Crypt. • @collectdotrip Live pack ripping with a Solana-native feel. Buy, queue, watch the rip on stream, then view or redeem cards through the site. • @pulldotfun Graded slabs with verifiable odds. Inventory-backed pulls, instant settlement and trade/redeem mechanics. • @RipRip_io A straightforward digital-to-physical pack model on Solana. Open packs online, then ship or redeem the real cards. • @solflare - Not a TCG project but Solflare Packs matters because it brings pack opening directly inside a crypto wallet (powered by Collector Crypt) Multi-chain and Solana-supported 👇 • @packydotgg A multi-chain pack platform for Pokémon/One Piece collectibles. Packs, races, battles, raffles, buybacks, withdrawals and SOL support. • @Beezie A tokenized collectibles marketplace expanding into Solana. The arcade angle stands out: claw machines, transparent odds, authenticated collectibles and redemption. • @dyli_io A broader collectibles platform. Collect digitally, own physically, ship globally. More marketplace/infrastructure than pure TCG app. • @shinylabs A broader collectibles and entertainment platform. Less focused on one mechanic, more on the collector experience around cards and related assets. • @mnstr A trading card collecting platform with an active pack-opening experience. Focused on making trading cards easier and more fun to collect online. • @GrailedGG Digital packs and pack battles around collectible cards. The focus is on opening packs, competing with others and shipping the real cards. • @verityxyz A premium collectibles platform with provable ownership. Still early, but already experimenting with gacha-style drops and physical collectible ownership. Which one have you tried? And which one caught your attention the most and why?

Two things are happening at once: 1. Whatnot streamers buying every box of sealed they can find 2. On-chain protocols buying up singles and turning slabs into programmable assets These two worlds are heading for the same intersection. The line between collector and builder is about to blur.

@cousincrypt0 probably ?

Do people genuinely believe the 7th largest crypto currency is paying KOLs to shill it? Lmfao

Solana and Base will be in an epic battle for consumer apps on RWAs x.com/i/trending/206…

@La_MissMarvel is this a custom card? i found a funny site that turns people's linkedin profiles into custom pokemon cards cldcrds.com

This is the best Gyarados Pokemon card. Right?

@Gym_Battles wagering slabs in pvp battles is a fascinating concept. turns graded cards from static collectibles into actual gaming assets. vault system solves the trust problem of who holds the cards.

The Showdown just got an upgrade! Slab Arena just went big: wager a TEAM of 3 graded slabs in one battle, winner takes BOTH teams, stakes up to $2,500. Vault got a huge bump now with over 140 cards to win. And a new building's counting down — something unlocks in ~18h. see you in the Gym @solanagaming

@foreversojx blind mint with usdc entry and chainlink vrf is a clean model. the 'know what you're in for' question is the one every mint needs to answer honestly

What Is The Moonpot? The Moonpot is a blind mint protocol. Users purchase TMP tokens using USDC at a fixed price of $1.15 per token. Some mints also produce an NFT but no one knows which ones, or what they’re worth, until after the round closes. Rarity and reward value are assigned only after each round ends, using Chainlink VRF, a verifiable on-chain randomness mechanism that neither the team nor any participant can manipulate or predict in advance. The protocol runs across 28 sequential distribution rounds, with up to 99,991 NFTs available per round across 16 rarity tiers. Values range from $1 at the common end to $100,000 for the rarest tier. NFT holders claim a one-time USDC payout directly through the smart contract, funded by a fixed share of every mint in that round.

The Moonpot Protocol: Inside the Blind Mint Platform That Put Its Code to the Test

@Moonpotquotes trusting math > trusting vibes. verifiable randomness removes the single biggest trust gap in nft mints and pack-based mechanics. should be table stakes for every project.

Most NFT projects ask you to trust the artist, the team, or the community. The Moonpot NFT asks you to trust Chainlink VRF and a smart contract. Which would you rather trust?

@kirateen96_ @ys0la chainlink VRF + USDC mints + no insider allocations is the holy trinity of fair launches. everyone should get the same shot regardless of connections or wallet size.

@ys0la Fair launch done right No VC bags, no insiders — just USDC mints, permanent liquidity, and Chainlink VRF. Everyone on the same line. Watching these 28 rounds closely. LFG Moonpot

@pixlonbase chainlink VRF for generative art mints is the cleanest use case. verifiable randomness means the collection is provably fair

How it works: 🎲 Mint - Chainlink VRF picks your sticks, Tetrominos, colors and positions. No two are alike. You can't predict or manipulate the result. 🔥 Burn - Send two Pixl to the contract. One is destroyed. The other absorbs all elements and unlocks one edit credit. ✏️ Edit - Drag every element to exactly where you want it. Save the layout on-chain. That's your art. 🧵 2/6

Introducing pixl. — fully on-chain generative pixel art on @Base Every Pixl starts with randomly generated sticks and Tetrominos, placed on a 24×24 canvas. Stored entirely in the contract. No IPFS. No servers. No dependencies. 🧵 1/6

@aurelius_xyz @CruizeYsi @kailanibtc @RipStationxyz ripping machines with real graded slabs and instant credit flips - the UX is finally catching up to the concept. knowing what card you're in for before you commit is the next frontier.

@CruizeYsi @kailanibtc @RipStationxyz You pick a machine and rip. Pull real graded slabs. Keep it and we ship the physical card, or flip it back for instant credit to keep ripping. Authenticity is verified onchain, and you can peek at what's in the machine first

Did you know you can get a peek into the cards available on @RipStationxyz? This is my dream pull! What's yours? 👇

@SolanaHub_ @Collector_Crypt onchain liquidity for graded cards is the unlock the hobby's been needing. grading backlogs are 10M+ deep and the secondary market is fragmented across ebay, whatnot, and instagram.

Project of the Week: @collector_crypt Collector Crypt is tokenizing professionally graded physical collectible cards into tradeable onchain assets, unlocking liquidity for a massive legacy market. $CARDS powers a treasury-backed ecosystem bridging insured vaults with gamified Web3 mechanics. Recent highlights: > Became Solana’s #1 revenue protocol on June 15, pulling in $3.86M in fee revenue. > Flipped @pumpfun in 24H revenue during the week of June 15. > Secure physical-to-digital trading with graded collectibles and a gamified pack unboxing system. > Partnerships with @rarible and @Loopscale

@DeltaForceOS the brink's vault integration is the key piece. without verifiable physical storage, onchain card trading is just a receipt. this is the direction the whole space needs to go.

WHAT IT IS $COLLECT powers Fanable, a marketplace that tokenizes real graded Pokemon cards, comics and figurines. Vault the physical item with Brink's, get an onchain ownership cert, trade or redeem it worldwide. Stripe and crypto payments, real iOS and Android apps.

A $28M token in a hot niche in crypto, backed by Michael Rubin (CEO of Fanatics), Ripple and Polygon, just jumped 18% while the market bled. $COLLECT is the RWA collectibles play almost nobody's watching yet. Full breakdown below, bull case and the real risk.

@Sonoflasg that inversion is sharp. crypto's been chasing real-world value and physical collectibles have centuries of proven demand. the convergence is crypto adapting to cards, not the other way around.

My read is a little different. As opposed to trading cards moving towards crypto… I’d invert this and suggest crypto is moving towards trading cards. Might read like the same thing, however the shift in lens is profound. For years crypto has been trying to invent things that trading cards already solved. Rarity, provenance, reveals, grading, social status, collector culture, secondary markets, speculation, and the blend of emotional and financial attachment that makes collecting compelling in the first place. The strongest part of what @funghibull lays out isn’t that card collectors are becoming crypto users. It’s that consumer crypto is starting to anchor itself to behaviours people already understand and enjoy. The reveal works because it worked long before NFTs. The hunt works because it worked long before NFTs. The desire to own something scarce, authentic, and culturally meaningful existed long before blockchains. Where I think things get really interesting is that onchain rails can make these markets more transparent, liquid, and globally accessible without asking users to first buy into a new worldview. That feels like a much stronger starting point than asking people to believe in a brand new asset class from scratch. The biggest lesson from the NFT cycle may not be that we needed better technology. It may be that we needed better substrates. Trading cards already have the culture, the IP, the collector psychology, and the market. Crypto just gives those behaviours new rails. That’s a very different proposition from “crypto fixes trading cards.” It’s closer to “crypto finally found a market that already wants most of what it’s good at.” The most significant counterpoint is the trend we're seeing for physical redemptions, acutely highlighted with @bis__cut's recent Card NFT 2 drop. People are happily using digital infrastructure for discovery, distribution, coordination, provenance, and speculation… …but many still ultimately want the object. A lot of us spent years assuming that digital ownership was the destination. Increasingly I’m not sure it is. It may be the transport layer. The reveal happens digitally. The community forms digitally. The market forms digitally. The provenance is digital. The speculation is digital. But then the user says: "Great. Now send me the thing" That tells us something... 🤔

@lectrixbt that's the exact problem on-chain collectibles solve. you can participate in the market without needing to store, grade, and insure physical cardboard. fractional exposure to a charizard is possible now.

Can people speculate on TCG hype without buying the card, Pokémon cards just like crypto or stocks? Right now, if you want to bet on a charizard or a new set going up in price, you basically have to buy the actual physical cards ..... will say expensive and you need some storage hassle. Real sales data from TCGPlayer, eBay, graded auctions gets fed onchain through oracles and tokenized cards ( vaulted ) would make that market come true on perps. There are infinite possibilities that perps can enable onchain to hedge!
