NiFe WARS collectible
NiFe WARS Trading Card Collection · Series One
Live on Kickstarter · October 8

Cards you can tap,
claim and collect.

The first original universe to embed NFC authentication in every “hit” trading card and variant cover Comic Book.

Counterfeiting is the biggest unsolved problem in collecting. Every hit in Series One ships with an NFC chip sealed inside the card. Tap it and the card confirms it is authentic — and shows you everywhere it has been and everyone who has signed it.

Already shipping

Thousands of NiFe WARS collectibles are already chipped and claimed

Blind bag comics, retailer exclusives and metal cards all ship with an NFC chip in every copy, tapped and registered by collectors today.

Claiming a comic also unlocks the full issue to read online. The book stays sealed, graded, or bagged and boarded, and you still get to read it — no need to touch the physical copy at all.

The technology

How it works

Four steps from unopened pack to a permanent record of ownership.

01

Every collectible ships chipped

The chip goes in on the production line, before the pack is ever sealed. It can't be added, swapped or forged afterwards.

02

Tap with your phone

Hold your phone to the chip and tap the notification that pops up to verify authenticity. Works on all modern smartphones.

03

Add it to your collection

Flex your physical collectible, digitally. Everything you claim sits in one collection at a URL you can share.

04

Buy knowing its history

When you buy from another collector, the record comes with it. You see every owner it's had before you, and any signing, before money changes hands.

Your public profile

From Physical to Digital
The COLLECT Experience

Two pages light up the moment you tap. Your collection becomes a trophy case at a URL you own, and every collectible gets its own page proving what it is and who has held it.

Your collection page — rarity score, rarest pull, leaderboard rank, claimed grid

Your collection page

Everything you have claimed in one place, with your rarity score and rank. One URL you can share with anyone.

Card detail page — series, artist, chip ID, provenance and signatures

Each collectible's proof

Series, artist, chip ID, every owner it has had, and any signatures on it. Anyone can open it and check for themselves.

Signature verification

Signatures you can verify

When a founder or artist signs a card in person, they tap the chip to sign it digitally at the same moment. The signature is written into that card’s provenance record permanently.

No certificate to lose. No handwriting to argue about. The card carries proof that the signature is real, and anyone can verify it by visiting your COLLECT profile.

Phone tapping a sealed CGC slab
Graded collectibles

Can I tap the chip through a CGC or PSA slab?

Yes. Once a book is graded and sealed, the chip stays readable through the case. Tap it exactly the way you would an ungraded copy — the ownership history and any signings are still there.

Our CGC graded collectibles also carry a line on the slab label stating the book includes NiFe WARS COLLECT NFC technology, so CGC officially recognises that the book was chipped by us, the publisher.

Questions

FAQ

Do I need an app?
No. NFC reading is built into iPhone and Android. Hold your phone to the chip and your browser opens the record.
Can I tap the chip through a CGC or PSA slab?
Yes. The chip stays readable through the case, so a graded collectible keeps its record. CGC graded NiFe WARS books also note the COLLECT NFC technology on the slab label.
How does a signature get onto the record?
The artist or founder taps the chip at the moment of signing. The signing is written in with who signed it, the date and the venue.
What happens when I buy from another collector?
You tap the chip and a transfer request goes to the current owner. Once they accept, the collectible moves to your account with its full history — every owner before you, and any signings on it. If they don't respond within 7 days, the transfer completes automatically.
Can the chip be removed or faked?
Each chip carries a unique ID written at manufacture that can't be rewritten. Removing it damages the collectible and breaks the record's link to the object.
