Upper Deck e-Pack trading cards launch 1/17

There is a soccer NFT.. I think it’s soccer.. where you can buy specific players and set a lineup. You can then play against other people and compete for the top spot, tournaments, player levels, etc etc. It was very popular for a time. I haven’t checked on it recently though. You got the cards/players originally by buying packs. You could sell and trade them around to build your team. Maybe you got an amazinggggg player but only had one good guy. You could sell that and cash out or enter into smaller tournaments to win.

I could see something like this working for TNT. Maybe make the TCGs functional. On all the physical cards, they play like Pokémon or any other card game. I doubt anybody ever used them like that, but they could. I can’t say that I /wouldn’t/ buy some to join in on virtual tournaments in order to get some cool onsite prizes. They just aren’t putting in the effort to make anything worthwhile. Low effort usually garners low return and ends up being a waste of time.

I wish it were real. I'd love one for my gallery. I love everything mutant.

Who knows, maybe it will be real sometime 👀 It looks amazing!

[samsepiol]

I'm digging on that Mutant Paint Brush though..

My eyes looked right over that but holy moly, you're right. That's some great Neo art. Maybe it'll release someday..

I think they've said in the past regarding these digital cards that if they gain enough popularity/sales, they'd consider making it a physical set to collect. Then again, I read this when it was announced they were working on that neopets switch game and the neopets TV show, and both of those got cancelled, so lol.

I forgot all about the TV show. Now I'm sad all over again that we aren't getting it. lol.

I don't understand why they wouldn't just make them physical in the first place. I think that it's kind of apparent that if we're all so nostalgic that we're still playing a 20+ year old game, that we'd probably want the old school, nostalgic, physical cards back and not some virtual card/NFT that has no nostalgic value whatsoever other than it being a picture of a character from the game. They could even just print them to order or preorder like the new animal crossing amiibo cards and a few other card series have done so that they aren't printing in excess and losing money on possible unsold merch.

If there was a virtual card game attached, I guess it'd be ok, but just for the purpose of collecting why wouldn't you want a physical card?

I mean if you're going to exploit my nostalgia for money, at least do it right lol. The items from the loot codes for the actual site aren't even appealing (to me anyways). I'm sure if they're tradeable they'll be expensive though.

I think the reason we're in this whole digital card game / NFT business is because one of the higher up people within Netdragon is into crypto/NFT ventures. It's been hard to keep up with since we rarely ever hear from Netdragon outside of their sales articles, but TNT is taking much of the displeasure from the userbase since they're more in touch with us over executives at Netdragon.

I wish they'd listen to what the actual userbase wants over what they think we want.

I meeeaaan, I’m very interested in the codes but I don’t think I would be buying them for the “digital cards” (cough NFTs???)

Idk. But if the items from the codes are nice enough I might just get them.

Sorare I think. Fantasy Football with NFTs

[Lizerd]

Am I misreading this or is it not even guaranteed to come with a rare item code? What an absolute waste. People might be more willing to buy these knockoff NFT's if they got a code for sure, but a chance at it? LMAO no thanks I could just spend that money on NP instead.

Not really a fan of this. I'll be curious to see what the prize pool for items will be but even then I am not expecting much (especially since it's not guaranteed to get a code with every card/purchase)
