The collection contains 12 hockey character cards, each with a unique set of attributes, and 2,000 digital tickets inspired by retro 8-bit gaming graphics.
Five editions of each character card are available via auction, and the winner of the first editions of the two Captain cards (Grant ‘Champ’ Parker and Madison ‘Maddy’ Houser) will receive a custom Blackhawks jersey and two tickets to a home game this season.
Four different digital ticket editions are also on sale for $30 each, and fans who buy all four of them will unlocked a bonus "Golden Ticket."
All sales and/or bids will close on Tuesday, Aug. 31 at 10 p.m. CT if the individual series isn’t sold out by then.
The digital collectibles are now available on BlackhawksNFT.com and through sweet.io/Blackhawks.
