Playing cards company Cartamundi and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have teamed up for the first-ever hybrid physical and NFT trading cards based on iconic heroes, villains, locations, gadgets, and moments from DC Multiverse.
Launching today, DC Hybrid Trading Cards by Hro are giving fans the opportunity to own a physical trading card with an NFT component, bringing blockchain technology and physical in-store presence together for the first time. Each DC Hybrid Trading Card by Hro features a unique QR code that connects the physical card to its digital “twin” on the new Hro app.
A platform that combines the physical and digital world, the Hro app gives users access to a 24/7 global marketplace to collect, trade, and buy DC Hybrid Trading Cards. The Hro app also serves as a 360-degree fan engagement platform and community where fans can build their own collection of rare DC art, movie, and other memorabilia; explore DC content; compete on leaderboards and in challenges; and unlock money-can’t-buy rewards and experiences.
Beginning March 11th, fans can download the Hro app on the Apple App Store for iPhone devices, Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets, and on app.hro.gg for desktop.
The DC Hybrid Trading Cards by Hro is initially launching with Chapter 1. The Chapter 1 Collection is available in both matte and holographic finishes and consists of 155 Unique Cards, including 32 limited-edition cards based on the recently released Warner Bros. movie The Batman. Chapter 1 Collection packs vary from: Common, Uncommon, Superior, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. In the Chapter 1 collection alone, over 6 million trading cards will be printed and digital NFT twins minted.
DC Hybrid Trading Cards by Hro come in six different packs: 7-card Flowpack ($4.99), 2-pack ($9.99), Premium 2-pack ($14.99), Premium 4-pack ($24.99), Starter 8-pack ($49.99), and 24-pack Cards Display Unit ($119.99).
Using NFTs minted on Immutable X, an Ethereum-based carbon-neutral Layer2 blockchain, DC Hybrid Trading Cards by Hro are hitting shelves and digital wallets this month, with additional and limited-edition content coming throughout the year. These hybrid physical and NFT trading cards will be available in the U.S. in-store and online at Walmart, Amazon, and at shop.hro.gg. In the U.K., fans can find them in-store and online at Game, Zavvi, and WHSmith.
