THE SANDLOT 30TH ANNIVERSARY DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES DROP
Cast of 1993 film The Sandlot celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary by releasing a new digital collectibles drop
NASHVILLE, TN, USA, April 26, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the iconic 1993 film The Sandlot, members of the cast (known collectively as Boys of Summer) are releasing a special series of digital trading cards and memorabilia via the WAX blockchain.
For this release, Boys of Summer tapped renowned sports illustrator Ken Karl to create a series of hand-drawn cards inspired by the cast’s behind-the-scenes photographs.
The Sandlot 30th Anniversary Digital Collectibles drop is comprised of 72 digital trading cards across seven rarity levels. A limited number of cards can be redeemed for exclusive goods, such as items signed by the cast, handmade #1-of-1 cards by Ken Karl, and physical trading card packs. Crafting challenges for meet & greets and other digital and physical exclusives will be rolled out throughout the summer.
Cards will be available in two digital pack formats; Standard, five (5) digital cards for $9.99, and Premium, fifteen (15) digital trading cards for $29.99. Only 1,500 Standard and 1,500 Premium packs will be minted for this release.
Packs go on sale Friday, April 28, 2023, at 12pm PST and can be purchased with a credit or debit card, exclusively at boysofsummer.cards. No cryptocurrencies will be required to participate. A special edition Boys of Summer token will have utility across the new collection. Ahead of the street date, the token will be airdropped to everyone holding a card or pack from the Boys of Summer Series 1 Collection.
“We’re excited to be releasing our second collection on the Wax Blockchain,” said Victor DiMattia, who played Timmy Timmons in the film. “Wax’s community and chain have grown so much since our first drop, and it’s allowed us to be much more creative with the new collection and offer exclusives like redeemable items, set completion rewards, and crafting. There’s a lot more we want to do throughout the year.”
The Boys of Summer digital trading cards will be minted on the Wax blockchain, the number one blockchain for gaming and NFTs. Get a Cloud Wallet for free here with just a few clicks before the drop.
The Sandlot 30th Anniversary Digital Collectibles drop is co-produced by Boys of Summer and Nashville-based creative agency Masscult, with all primary market sales and redemptions powered by Waxify.
