Ooooor..you can just print and sell limited paper cards and whoever physically owns the card is the owner.

Just as decentralized of ownership as an NFT lol

Physical cards can get damaged or lost or stolen. I guess nfts can also get lost or stolen, but they can't get damaged

I don't see this as a Replacement for physical cards, but as an add-on

Pretty sure the card maker can just give out text keys they store in a DB and it'll work better.

You'd have to be a bad technical decision-maker to use an NFT for that feature. Or trying to get some free NFT hype money lmao.

Heh yeah that's fair.

The other thing I was imagining was that trading a card could just utilize existing nft platforms, instead of the publisher having to set up an ecommerce marketplace for managing card trades.

Although yeah this is definitely more "solution looking for a problem"

Actually the publisher wouldn't even need to have a db full of keys or maintain a catalog of valid NFTs. Authenticity could be proven by just seeing whether the initial owner/issuer of the NFT is the publisher
