IF this thread doesn't go too far off the road it will stay. Otherwise, I see it getting locked. I do have to say, that is just stupid to me.

I think they are pretty cool.
They also clearly put this on the site. Trump Digital Trading Cards (NFTs) are intended as collectible items for individual enjoyment only, not for investment vehicles. |

From the website:
"Each Trump Digital Trading Card has a unique pre-assigned rarity. Some will be one-of-one’s (i.e. the only one in the world), while others will be limited to 2, 5, 7, or 10 copies. No Trump Digital Trading Card will have more than 20 copies in existence!" There are 45 different cards. Does that mean that total sales are limited to less than 45 x 20 = 900 NFT's? That's only $90,000 cash, that can't be right? |

I’m not really clear where this number comes from as that’s a ton of different images but this is also on the site. It makes a lot more sense, the creators have to pay for his likeness, approval, and the contest winnings. I assume many of these will be sold for the dinner, effectively $4,500. Tons of celebrities and famous people have done NFT’s though, this isn’t something unique, but I don’t get the appeal at all. It’s just a jpeg in your digital wallet, that’s it. |

As Howard alluded to, it would have been fantastic as a combined parody of President Trump and the modern hobby. How long until one of these things is in Goldin? lol

To be fair some older grown men collect pictures of much younger athletic men in uniforms. All I know is I am not saying anything bad about what someone else collects.

Leon, I agree it can head in the wrong direction. I have no problem if you wish to lock it.
