Topps Partners with German Bundesliga to Launch NFT Collection

Notably, the said NFT collectibles will be minted on the high-performance Avalanche blockchain.

For those not in the know, the German Bundesliga is one of the most fan-centric sports leagues in the world in that football clubs in the league are not allowed to play if commercial investors have over 49% stake in any of the teams.

The egalitarian commercial nature of football clubs in the Bundesliga means that fans major a major say in the voting rights which, in turn, fosters a healthy environment for the success of a fan engagement solution like the one from Topps.

Per sources close to the matter, the said NFT collection will feature a whole host of digital renditions of star players, rising stars, and memorable moments of the season. Notably, the NFTs can be purchased on Topps’ NFT store via credit card. The NFT cards up for grabs range in terms of scarcity from Common to Legendary.

Commenting, Tobin Lent, VP & General Manager at Topps Digital Sports, noted:

“Our vision is to create a fun, easy-to-use collecting experience on the Blockchain that appeals to all fans whether they have experience with NFTs or not. It’s an extension of the pioneering vision we’ve had for digital collectibles since our mobile apps launched in 2012.”

Adding:

“We can’t wait to introduce this new collecting experience to Bundesliga fans around the world. Whether you support clubs like RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, VfL Wolfsburg or Eintracht Frankfurt or a fan of a particular player, the Bundesliga community will have the opportunity to collect their favorite stars as well as their favorite moments from the 2020-21 season, all in one collection.”

RARE Seafoam Otaku + Alien gen
*hissing noises*! I'm RARE Seafoam Otaku + Alien gen. My friends describe me as prickly and preposterous. In my free time, I can usually be found stinky or swiping left. I can't wait to wake you up at 4am for seemingly no reason.
The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.
