Collecting football memorabilia, stickers and trading cards is a popular hobby worldwide — but swapping and exchanging has often only been done on a local level…until now.
People put a lot of value on collectibles. That much is clear, simply by looking at the PWCC Marketplace, the largest seller of trading cards — which took $50million revenue in 2018.
A big part of the fun of collecting — and a big reason collectables grow in value — is scarcity. But having something rare is of no value if there is no means of exchange.
Traditionally collectibles like stickers and trading cards, because of their physical nature, could only be exchanged with people you know, in person, from hand to hand.
That personal process assures trust but is limiting because — as any avid collector has experienced — it becomes harder and harder to find the card you want as your album fills up.
What SWAP does is open the opportunity up for worldwide exchange.
The blockchain technology that is unique to SWAP makes it possible to identify every individual collectible and log and track its history as it moves from person to person.
And, crucially, it also makes it impossible to clone, alter, or amend that history.
On the SWAP app, users can connect with other users simply by requesting the collectible they want and searching for people who own it — wherever they are in the world.
And because of the blockchain technology, that collectable can then be securely exchanged, with the change of ownership logged for all to see on the back of the card.
It means you can trust anyone on the app — because it’s impossible to fake an exchange.
And by building a network of connections, SWAP users can take their world of football collectibles away from local exchanges and onto the global stage.
