Warrington Wolves • New Kit

Non fungible tokens are kind of like rare collectible trading cards.

If someone had a unique digital picture of John Woods modelling the 1987-88 Wire kit, would you be interested in paying money to own it? If yes, then its the same concept for this George Williams picture.

Some people will like the idea of having something collectable, and the selling point of NFTs is that they are unique and authorised as something which is one of a kind.

Now, there is a bit of emperor's new clothes about it, in that a lot of people will think "well who cares? its just a picture?" You can understand why having something like the jersey Les Boyd wore in the 1986 Premiership final would appeal to people as a "one of a kind" product, but a digital picture....even if it is one of a kind, will anybody really care? They are trying to create a market for NFTs hoping that this will be something people do collect in future, in the way they got into trading cards and autographs etc.
