Sometimes I think we’re all just a bunch of dorks in this space. Try explaining NFTs to a normal person, why a mint number matters, why a first official appearance for Big IP matters, why provenance matters, or why some digital collectible from 2017 could actually mean something historically. Most people look at you like you’re from another planet. And lately this space has been rough. Pudgy Penguins, Blur, Candy... people losing money, trust getting tested, communities getting hurt. It gets exhausting. But then I think about all the other dorks before us. The ones collecting comics when they were considered kids’ junk. The ones collecting baseball cards before people treated them seriously. The computer nerds who believed computers would change everything, and the people who understood the internet before most of the world even knew what to do with it. Maybe we’re wrong. Maybe we’re early. Maybe it’s somewhere in between. I really don’t know. I just know I still love collecting this stuff, and somehow, after everything this space has thrown at us, a lot of you are still here too. So some love today for the collectors, the believers, the weird ones and the dorks. Hope everyone is doing okay. We’ve been through a lot. ❤️

Let's take a walk around #VEVE license lane...🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ #DigitalCollectibles #NFT dccomics.com/collectibles

There is a saying: “Always know the business that you are getting into.” This is one of the biggest reasons I believe in VeVe. David Yu isn't just a collector. He's a superfan. He understands fandom because he lives it. You can hear the excitement in his voice whenever he talks about collectibles. That kind of genuine passion is difficult to fake—and I believe it matters tremendously in this business. Think about what VeVe has done. They didn't have to build a metaverse. They didn't have to sponsor multiple annual in-person events. They didn't have to sponsor local community meetups. They didn't have to constantly give away prizes and create experiences for their collectors. But they did. Why? Because David and Dan understand that this business isn't just about selling digital collectibles. It's about community, fandom, and the emotional connection people have with the brands they love. And I believe that is one of the reasons so many major licensors have trusted VeVe with some of their most valuable IPs. They know VeVe understands that these characters aren't just intellectual properties. They're someone's childhood. They're someone's favorite comic. They're the character someone dressed up as when they were a kid. They're part of people's lives. VeVe understands that—and they have consistently tried to present these brands in a way that respects their history and makes them look incredible. That's what licensors want. They want a partner that gets it. A company that understands their brand, understands their fans, and genuinely has their best interests at heart. And let's talk about the VeVeFam. The VeVe community is one of the most passionate communities in the digital collectibles space. Why do you think so many companies have tried to attract VeVe collectors and influencers over the years? Because a passionate community has value. A strong community can make or break a company. And VeVe built its community from the ground up. They didn't have to raid another platform's community to create one. They didn't need to take shortcuts. They built it organically. Does VeVe move slowly sometimes? Absolutely. But I've always believed that many of their moves are intentional. And when they make the right move, the impact can be significant. Just look at the artists who have worked on VeVe-exclusive comic covers. Many of these artists aren't tied exclusively to one publisher. They work with Marvel, DC, Image, and other publishers depending on the project. Yet they've chosen to work with VeVe. That matters. And personally, I'm saying all of this as someone who loves both Marvel and DC. I wore Superman thermal underwear as a kid. 😂 I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. As I got older, Marvel became more relevant to me, especially when Infinity Gauntlet came out, and I gravitated toward Marvel. I also got into Image Comics and Valiant. I even have a Candy Digital account because of DC Comics. So when I see people hating on VeVe, I honestly find it a little strange. This isn't about VeVe versus Candy Digital. It's not about Marvel versus DC. It's about something much greater: Which company actually understands fandom? Which company respects the brands it represents? Which company understands that these aren't just characters—they are part of people's lives? For me, the answer is VeVe. I don't see another company in the digital collectibles space that understands and appreciates fandom quite like VeVe does. And David Yu's background is a huge part of that. He doesn't just talk about collecting. He owns physical collectible stores. He has warehouses full of physical collectibles. He has spent nearly three decades immersed in the collecting world. So when David talks about collectibles and you hear that excitement in his voice, I don't think you're listening to a CEO trying to sell you something. You're listening to a collector talking about something he genuinely loves. And that's exactly the kind of person I want representing the brands I collect.
