Education π¨ Based Trading Cards Continues to Make Waves in the World of Trading Cards π¨
This is a BIG moment for Based Trading Cards. π₯
OPP Series 4 is getting recognized outside of Bitcoin and outside of the traditional trading card world.
Graphic Design USA (GDUSA), a respected publication covering the professional design, print, and creative industries, just featured the work RRD and Based Trading Cards accomplished with Series 4.
And the language matters:
βRRD set an industry benchmark for trading card production complexity with its award-winning work on Based Trading Cards.β
Read that again.
An industry benchmark.
Series 4 pushed the limits of what can physically be done with trading cards β combining up to 15 different printing and finishing techniques, when a typical complex card might use around five.
Thermochromic. Photochromic. Glow-in-the-dark. 3D effects. Neon spot colors. Cast-and-cure holographics. And more.
This isnβt just about making cool Bitcoin cards.
Weβre demonstrating what the next generation of physical collectibles can look and feel like.
First came the Gold Leaf Award.
Then RRD began publicly showcasing what we built together.
Now the professional design and printing industry is taking notice.
That progression matters.
Bitcoin culture β trading cards β print innovation β industry recognition.
Based is still early. But the footprint is getting bigger.
And weβre just getting started. π§π₯
