Last week, Donald Trump teased a “major announcement” on Truth Social.
Some were expecting a decision regarding his 2024 running mate. Instead, Trump announced his “Trump Digital Trading Card “NFT collection.
Selling for $99 each, “These cards features some of the really incredible artwork pertaining to my life and my career.”
The announcement was slammed by critics and former-political allies alike. Thankfully, some cards provided some utility.
“One of the best parts, each card comes with an automatic chance to win amazing prizes like dinner with me. Or golf with you and a group of your friends at one of my beautiful golf courses, and they are beautiful,” Trump mentioned in his Truth Social announcement post.
“I’m also doing Zoom calls, a one-on-one meeting, autographing memorabilia and so much more. “
Amazingly, the 45,000 card collection sold out in 12 hours, earning $4.45 million.
Scalpers also took the time to invest in Trump cards and make a quick buck. Two days after the cards’ release, some sold for over six times their original $99 price tag. Today, Trump cards are still seeing a $300 minimum price.
Interestingly, Trump is no more than a spokesperson for his NFT collection.
On the collecttrumpcards.com website, a disclaimer reads, “NFT INT LLC is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Digital LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates. NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.”
We can’t wait to learn how much this collection has earned in a month.
