And cryptographic proofs are not a form of provenance?

A physical object with provenance is of significantly more historical significance.

A minted basketball card is actually even more anti-fragile than crypto. The crypto network may flop and cease to exist or be relevant. A card is a true artifact of sports history.

Hmm, maybe, or maybe a video representation of the moment, endorsed and co-branded by the league and the athletes, will come to be as valuable or more valuable than a physical photo print of that moment as represented by trading cards.

A trading card doesn’t survive a house fire or flood. How can a card be a true artifact of sports history when its also just a derivative product?
