A new blockchain startup is advancing the notion of baseball cards to crypto collectibles. Player Tokens is offering MLBPA-licensed digital keepsakes of major league players.
Each token has a player illustration on the front with updated statistics on the back. Record of ownership is guaranteed through the blockchain. Packs will include five or six tokens and start at $5.99.
“As far as collectibles broadly, baseball really was the scion of it,” said Player Tokens founder and CEO Kush Parikh. “Now we’re looking at something that’s very truly new and unique, and they wanted to be first in regards to really starting to invent this brand-new category.
