Fanpage and Athlete Licensing Company (ALC) have brought yet another top athlete to the Metaverse, and this time, from down under. Australian Curtis Mead, a unanimous top 100 prospect in baseball, is dropping his first NFT to commemorate his appearance in the 2022 MLB All Star Futures Game, and he’s giving it away for free to 500 of his fans.
It’s always a long road to the majors, but even more so when you grow up where baseball is not the national past time, which makes Curtis Mead’s story so intriguing. From his first swing in Adelaide Australia, Curtis has been a star in the making and has soared up through the ranks to getting the start in this year’s MLB All Star Futures Game.
"Owning one of Curtis’ Futures Game NFTs is a huge opportunity," said Billy Rodgers, Fanpage CEO. "Not only does this piece of Digital Memorabilia represent a historic moment in time, but its value has the potential to increase as Curtis’ career continues on an upward trajectory."
The first 500 fans who visit curtismead.fanpage.com will get to open a free NFT pack and receive the Bronze, Silver or extremely rare Gold NFT which will come with a signed baseball used in the 2022 Futures Game.
