Hi everyone.
Who else is watching some of this crazy trading card action?
Felix Lu
2:12
Hey @Francis and @DanT...
Yes, Dan...am peripherally aware of what's happening...totally nuts. Pandemic has made people crazy!

Hey everyone! Just saw the email and I am at work, so I thought I would have this going in the background and chime in when I can :) Question for @Felix since I'm not super sure, but it the digital art you're talking about similar to the 1/1 monoprints? Thanks!
Felix Lu
2:14
@Morgan...no. Not 1/1 monoprints. That's been the workaround for digital artists to participate in the original art market. But it's not really original art; it's an awkward fit. I believe NFTs, though, are the appropriate vehicle to buy/sell/collect digital art. Exciting times!

Hi, amazed to see the mention of NFTs, interested in hearing what you’ve got planned
Felix Lu
2:15
@Chris B...all to be revealed in due time! But ultimately, just another way to collect art, and another way for us to reach a new audience.

I picked up an 8-box case of 2020 Marvel Anime Cards.  Some to sit in a closet.  Some to rip open because I miss doing that from my youth.  Peach Momoko on the bulk of the artwork.  Looks like fun stuff.

Hey Felix, do you think there will be issues of Riley Rossmos Harley Quinn getting split up as they come out? Also do you see Riley taking a commission list this year? Thanks
Felix Lu
2:16
@Brian B...yes, we will be selling Riley's HQ pages. At this time, does not appear that there will be a list. DC is just keeping him too busy!
Dan T

The 1990s Marvel & X-Men cards are running more wild than Hulkamania.  Actually, WWE cards sound like they're about to run wild also.
Francis
2:16
Felix, its really exciting if this potentially opens the door to partial ownership of pieces
Brian B

Hi all
Johnny McCloskey

I agree with you, Chris. I'm sure Felix is ahead of the game on this one.
Chuck

@felix will you be using Nifty Gateway? Super Rare?
Felix Lu
2:17
@Chuck...you know your cryptogalleries;)

What does NFT stand for?
Felix Lu
2:17
@Dylan...NFT = Non-Fungible Token
Francis
2:17
I have been seeing sites like Rally and WithOtis essentially make the pitch that everyone could theoretically buy a share in  a high end art piece and vote on what happens to the art based on their stake, etc
I mean think of any time 25 of us wanted the same piece. Only for said item to sit in a closet or storage
Felix Lu
2:18
@Francis...yes, that's one way to market NFTs...but not my favorite. We'll see what works, though. I'm learning, too, as I go along.

Hey, Felix!
Brian B

I legitimately have no idea what am
An NFT is lol
Francis
2:19
You keep it in escrow with a neutral party
Dan T
2:19
@Francis - I've seen Otis, but haven't bought or sat with Investor Relations yet.  Seems like they're buying things at whatever they can get them at on Heritage and then setting that as the market cap.
Chuck

I sent Nick P. a text about it just yesterday...It's all the rage in the mograph field. If you're looking for some animation to add to the art, let me know.
Felix Lu
2:20
@Chuck...sure, shoot me an e-mail. My personal take is that the simple animation that's added to the art doesn't make it present better. It cheapens it, to my eye. But that's from an old-school collector's POV. Whatever that market wants, we'll adapt to it.
stefanomjr

I think I know what it is, can i frame it and hang it on the wall with a scan code that takes viewers to the art in question? :)
Felix Lu
2:21
@Stefano...haha! Yes, I also prefer real world, physical art. But people want what they want, and there's an entire population of collectors who see digital art as equal to traditional art (if not superior!).

I just wanna say that I’m glad you guys put out the heads up on social media that Matias’ list was opening up soon. If it wasn’t for that I probably would’ve missed out.
