Nvidia isn’t one to shy away from memorabilia. From signed golden graphics cards to selling CEO Jensen Huang’s iconic leather coat for charity, it’s fond of putting out things for collectors. But I never quite expected today’s reveal, a series of collectable trading cards.
Shared to Nvidia’s YouTube page, the first set of trading cards “celebrates the graphics cards, tech demos, and games that started it all”.
Series 1, the first set of trading cards, focuses on GeForce and has a nostalgic tone to it. We’ve only seen a brief look so far, but the cards focus on older Nvidia creations like the NV1, GeForce 3, GTX 1080, and even the Medusa demo. Of all the places to start, it’s a pretty good one, and an iconic era for Nvidia to look back at.
It’s not made clear how many cards are in the pack, or how limited they will be just yet, but I do know I kind of want one. Unfortunately, the only way to get them is by attending live events or winning community giveaways during what Nvidia calls the “Summer of RTX”.
