What’s the story with unsold inventory?
2022 was an unprecedented year for sports and entertainment collectibles. As we prepare our 2023 collections, we are updating you on our plans for any surplus inventory from the prior year.
2022 was an unprecedented year for sports and entertainment collectibles. As we prepare our 2023 collections, we are updating you on our plans for any surplus inventory from the prior year.
Our plan includes holding collectibles for sweepstakes and giveaways, vaulting (NFTs will remain in Candy custody for a predetermined amount of time before being made available to the public), and burning (NFTs are destroyed and permanently removed from circulation forever).
The decision to vault a percentage of unsold products was determined because we believe that these collectibles hold value, and we are considering the right way to bring these collectibles into our marketplace in 2025 (or beyond).
