Welcome to Home Team Heroes, @BoJackson. Yep. The BO JACKSON!!

WHAT MAKES [thing] COLLECTIBLE? Sometimes I can’t help but 🤦🏽‍♂️ when a company says “check out this collectible [thing] we created”. The [thing] is very often [junk]. We all have “edge skills” where we possess a natural talent, usually supported by countless hours of passionate hard work, that out performs 99.9% of humans. A deep understanding of collectibility, the mindset of collectors, and the best value drivers across a wide range of collectible genres, is one of those edge skills for me. I miss often but I have an established track record of being right a lot more than I’m wrong. A lot of it comes from all that experience (and learning from my many misses) but there are some basics anyone can apply. For [thing] to HAVE A CHANCE at proving to be collectible (i.e., have, hold and grow value), you must ensure that the components are in place for someone else to formulate a thesis (for themselves) on why they can also believe in [thing]. This is by no means an exhaustive list…but some stuff I look at (when I create - and when I collect): - Can the provenance be trusted? Have you undertaken measures to ensure future buyers are confident [thing] is authentic and unaltered? - What are the potential catalysts for future demand of [thing], and how "far-fetched" are they? You only need one catalyst if it's potentially powerful and/or far reaching. However, in most cases, it's a combination of potential catalysts that solidify a strongly held thesis. - Will [thing] be difficult to obtain once demand reaches the catalyst driven projections? Many people fumble here because they grossly under-estimate “catalyst driven demand” because current demand skews their perception. It’s critical that you utilize these lower demand windows to accumulate if you believe in [thing]. From there, trust your thesis’ catalyst to take care of that future demand. **TIP - if you don’t see a POTENTIAL catalyst for 10x future demand - question your overall thesis.** - Does [thing] forge an emotional connection with the owner for the duration of their ownership? Or might [thing] just end up in a junk drawer of apathy after a brief honeymoon phase? (We will skip the counterplay of including "trash bin deflation" from the potential thesis.) - Is one of the emotions [thing] sparks a sense of "pride"? Collectibles can create a wide array of emotions and be successful but if one of them isn’t a sense of pride…tough sledding. - Does [thing] help the owner to create a new community or fit neatly into an existing one? - Are there enough units of [thing] for a market to form with reliable sales comparisons over time? - How does the uniqueness of [thing] contribute to its perceived value? Is there something inherently special or rare about [thing] that cannot be easily replicated? - What is the historical significance or potential future historical importance of [thing]? Does it represent a moment in time, a cultural movement, or an innovative breakthrough? - How does the craftsmanship or artistic merit of [thing] add to its collectibility? Is it made with exceptional skill or creativity that sets it apart from other similar options? - Is there a story or narrative associated with [thing] that enhances its appeal? - Does [thing] have the potential for cross-collectibility, appealing to collectors across different interests or demographics? This is a good starting framework. If you form your thesis for [thing] using this checklist and then have patience…I think you will win a lot more than you lose. 1/2

We are beginning to ramp up some marketing for the @wondersotf CCG. It’s a bold experiment in IP rights, game mechanics and collectibility. I believe building and retaining a CCG community takes 2 things. 1) great gameplay with thrilling and memorable moments. 2) cards that hold and ideally gain value. If you get only number 1. You survive until the next shiney thing shows up. Tons of fun games get ditched because people simply have thirsts for new things. It’s human nature. You can’t get only #2 because #1 is a pre-requisite for a strong collectible framework. Many failed CCGs got #1 right. They failed because without #2 the gameplay (although good) wasn’t sticky enough on its own. The next shiney thing arrives and since the “collectible” cards they hold have no real value…it’s easy mentally for the community to check out and move to the next thing. We are unapologetically working to land BOTH gameplay and collectibility. We want to create a break out franchise. We won’t do that playing it safe. I’m not afraid of failure. I am afraid of not taking bold risks in an effort to win big. If we fail while being bold…I’m ok with that. We are leaning into the collectible side messaging wise because we want those who care about this to know that we see it as critically important to the long term success of our franchise. So we will say it from our chest. I think so many of the failed CCGs missed on #2 because they followed Big-CCG (Magic the Gathering and Pokemon). But what works for big companies clearly doesn’t work for smaller upstarts. Again. Look at all the failures. Big-CCG enjoyed a first mover advantage that catapulted their IP into a “too big to fail now” stratosphere. That first mover advantage is gone forever. Whether the next break out is us..or something else…I am very confident it will come from being bold and different. We might well fail. But it won’t be because we were scared to lean into what we believe in. Like what you hear? Join us. You can own a character in the franchise with IP rights and be ready to rip physical boxes, collect, play and have fun.

I’m gonna say the quiet part out loud. It’s time. You WILL NOT find a better or more SUSTAINABLE catalyst narrative for an NFT collection. 5,000 Wonders of The First characters exist as the ONLY collection created in Ethereum’s FIRST BLOCK on proof-of-stake (provenance established immediately after the merge in the POS Genesis Block). These amazing Characters establish our universe and IP catalog. The first physical CCG set Kickstarts in a few weeks. (CCG = Collectible Card Game - think Magic the Gathering or Pokemen). Our first physical set (Existence) will feature 85% ish “already community owned” Characters. The rest of the Characters? Our CCG box ripping “normie” friends will be chasing redeemable hits to score their own characters (by claiming the Character’s NFT in the same Character Proof collection). Character Proofs can be had on OS for under $300 right now. 🤯 So imagine if Pokemon dropped an NFT that established which community member had commercial IP rights to Pikachu. Rights they could sell at any time. Thats our IP model in a nutshell. We have community members building comics, physical products and even an ambitious group doing a video game with their Wonders alongside us. But. You don’t have to build anything. You can just hold your Character Proofs and chill (with a deep sense of pride knowing those rights are yours should you want to use or transfer them). Our community claimed these characters for free by owning @LostMinersETH. As all this was built during the bear…very few even know about this right now. I promise that will change soon. But we won’t be advertising to web 3 degens or paying the influencoors to pump our bags. We will be taking this CCG to normal human beings that love fantasy lore, CCG gaming and nerd culture to seek authentic, valid, and sustainable demand. (Nerd said affectionately as a proud one myself). Once the CCG drops, every normie pack ripper will know these Character Proofs exist and they will be told that if they don’t find one in their packs (a rare hit) they can simply turn to secondary market to find ones they vibe with (we will gladly hold their hand and white glove concierge their acquisitions if need be). In a world where single collectible cards sell for thousands…the idea of owning a Character from a franchise they enjoy (for a few hundred bucks) should be quite an interesting value proposition if they fall in love with their cards, the game and the Wonders universe. Yes. I’m bull posting. People here say they want teams to build cool shit. Well…we’ve invested millions and countless hours of swear and hustle to build some cool fucking shit. The game is getting great feedback in play tests. Our lead game designer has 25 years experience (including a decade making Magic and Pokemon sets). His team has CCG natives and competitive players that are like top 2% CCG ranked. We are AI/tech native (again we literally tokenized the characters with intentionality as indisputable first POS collection - created and minted in POS Genesis Block. No part of the process touched mining. And we brought 5000 broad and diverse characters to life in 12 months time. It took Magic the Gathering about 10+ years to reach 5k characters. Interested? LFG. Join us. We gather in discord. I won’t link in an effort not to crush this post’s reach but you can remove the spaces below. Discord .gg / wondersotf Come in and learn more. This one is truly hiding in plain sight. 🤷🏽‍♂️
