Collector Club x Alladan Flinn — Transparent Cards, Real Scarcity
Share
Collector Club caught up with our founder Alladan Flinn for an hour‑long dive into why trading cards still slap when you keep them finite, honest, and art‑first. It’s a great read for anyone who loves the rip but hates the mystery math behind it.
Why collectors will vibe with this one
- Transparency over mystery. We publish finite print runs and avoid parallel rainbows that blur true supply. Odds should be promises, not vibes.
- Education without the eye‑roll. Cards double as bite‑size money history and culture, designed to teach without starting a fight at the dinner table.
- The rebrand story. We shifted from “Bitcoin Trading Cards” to Based Trading Cards so people see physical art collectibles first, not confusion about coins or tokens. Same pillars: verifiable scarcity, clear edition sizes, and art that actually looks good in a slab.
Notes from the interview
- No on‑demand fluff. If you can “print more later,” your pack odds aren’t real. Ours stay honest because supply is truly finite.
- Culture > hype. The project was built after years of deep hobby research, talking directly with collectors, not just chasing trend lines.
- What’s next. The team is expanding the universe with Satoshi’s Heroes: world‑building, 3D environments, layered print techniques, and physical redemptions that feel worthy of the chase. Expect texture, foil wizardry, and story you can actually follow.
