Everything seems to smile at Sorare, this French start-up born in September 2018. The concept mixing sport (football, baseball, basketball, etc.), NFT and blockchain has continued to appeal to economic players. After an NBA fantasy basketball game was integrated into its ecosystem last October, collecting unique player NFTs has almost become a fad. Recently, Sorare NBA set a new record with an NFT card from Giánnis Antetokoúnmpo sold for $187,000.

Not enough to dethrone physical cards
Authenticated Sorare NBA player NFT cards may be enjoying a wave of success right now, but they seem to be far from stealing the show from physical cards.
$1.8 million is the price of an autographed physical trading card adorned with a piece of jersey worn by the same Bucks star during a game. Obviously, the counters exploded at the end of this sale, but of short duration.
As for physical cards to collect, the year 2022 notably saw the sale of a Mickey Mantle baseball card from 1952 at a price of 12.6 million dollars. But Sorare, who was not affected by the bear market, will certainly know how to break other records in the future.
