Back in the 80's and 90's a time before kids were glued to their mobile phones we had trading cards and sticker albums amongst other things to keep us entertained and somewhat addicted.
I remember my first sticker album, it was a Thundercats book published by Panini for a reasonable price in the bid for the kids hooked to spend all their hard earned pocket money on the stickers.
Just look at how cool this was, I was totally obsessed with collecting and swapping with friends.
Skip forward 34 years and we have a new type of collecting, this time it's all on the blockchain with digital assets.My first introduction to the blockchain collectibles was " Cryptokitties" I can see the appeal however I never moved to that direction on spending ETH to have a digital picture of a cat. I recently had a look to see how much the cats are being sold for and believe me it's almost unbelievable !
Moving onto today and I have discovered a new network that trades collectible cards from the popular card maker TOPPS, they are currently using the WAX network to sell their digital assets. From what I gather they have sold out of the popular " Garbage Pail Kids " collections and they are now being sold on the digital markets for higher prices. Check these out
