June 23rd, New York: In May, Quidd and Manchester City collaborated to release the first-ever interactive, 3D digital collectibles, featuring key moments and players from the club’s title-winning Premier League season. Quidd offers brands a seamless platform to launch digital collectibles and NFTs, and Manchester City chose to launch on Quidd as a digital collection to give access to their entire fanbase. Collectors and club supporters responded positively to the release, selling out sets in minutes, and driving certain collectibles to trade for over $1,500 in Quidd’s aftermarket.
Fueling the excitement was the dramatic finish to the Premier League season on Sunday, May 22nd. With less than 15 minutes to go in Manchester City’s final match, the club was down 0 – 2 as all signs pointed to a rival club taking home the Premier League trophy. However, Manchester City scored an unheard of three goals in under six minutes to win the match and secure their 6th Premier League title.
Quidd, in collaboration with Manchester City, capitalized on this dramatic victory in real-time, releasing a series of 3 ultra-rare hidden digital collectibles, called “shinies”, commemorating the three goals scored in the final match. These items, featuring two goals by Ilkay Gundogan and one goal by Rodrigo, have been instant collector’s items, propelling the Manchester City collection to dominate the Quidd market, outpacing sales from Disney and the NBA.
“Beyond how incredible these collections were, to begin with, it was thrilling to be able to reward Man City fans and collectors with unique cards that reflected the epic things happening in real-time,” said Sam Barberie, VP of Content at Quidd.
“Right after that incredible Premier League finale, fans got access to items that celebrated the moment. Exclusively with digital collectibles can fans get something that reflects, specifically, the goals that clinched the win or the lift of the Premier League trophy.”
And it’s not over yet. The excitement around 3D digital collectibles that celebrate key players and moments doesn’t end with items commemorating the Trophy Lift or the incredible goals that secured the title. In July, Quidd will release exciting new digital collectibles highlighting the recent signing of Erland Haaland, so stay tuned.
