Interesting article The future of baseball card collecting

I have to agree that NFTs are here to stay, but not as an investment. They will be for entertainment purposes only with no real value. This article came across my Facebook feed this morning.

You will see more and more of this I guarantee it.

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else remember in 2000-01, when Upper Deck produced e-cards for their hockey set?

Each physical card had a unique code that you could enter into an upper deck website to build your digital collection. Anybody who built the set at the time has nothing to show for it now. The site is defunct, the digital cards don't exist anywhere, and the paper versions are effectively worthless.

I suspect the same outcome is inevitable for NFTs. Whenever the computer powering the blockchain is eventually powered down, collectors will be left with a collection worth approximately the same as the paper it's printed on.

It had been proposed to me, and I considered it, to do a NFT for Net54baseball. In the end I chose not to (because of my thinking in the statement above). It would be a little PR but that is it and I just don't care for the whole NFT thing that much. To each their own.
