Hello Fellow Digital Collectors & Futures Enthusiasts!

The following article was written by Josh, the President of COLLECTORS GONE DIGITAL.

If the name is new to you, CGD is the digital agency based in Toronto, Canada, which created the World's FIRST Metaverse Comic Book Store, California Comics.

They continue to build new metaverse spaces (within the VeVeVerse ecosystem) for clients, where I've written before about how similar this all is to when WEBMASTERS first appeared as a new job title that never existed before the Internet showed up.

After reading Josh's blog over on his website, I reached out to see if he wouldn't mind my sharing this with you (with a few additional points added by MOI), as his passion for collecting, and now helping digital asset owners SHOWCASE their prized collectibles, speaks volumes about where the world of collecting is headed.

The VeVeVerse unlocks an explosion of creator, business & revenue opportunities that could redefine digital collecting forever.

The California Comics Metaverse Comic Book Store - Local Globally!

Let’s be honest, VeVe has already done the hardest part.

They built a platform from scratch, turned licensed digital collectibles into a cultural phenomenon, and cultivated one of the most passionate communities in Web3.

That alone is impressive. But what’s coming next?

That’s where the real money is. And it’s not just for VeVe. It’s for the collectors, the creators, the brands, the dreamers, the developers - the entire ecosystem. It’s the VeVeVerse.

You might think of the VeVeVerse as “just another platform,” but in reality, it's a long-term vision for VeVe’s entire universe of IP - where Marvel, DC, Disney, Lamborghini, Star Wars & countless others can finally breathe in 3D.

More importantly, it’s where they can grow.

Think about it: up until now, VeVe collectibles have mostly lived in showrooms, apps, and augmented reality. That’s fine. But it’s limited.

The VeVeVerse kicks the door open to a sandbox of opportunity where collectors can display their pieces, yes, but also host live events, build businesses, sell services, create fashion, and in the future, potentially rent or sell digital items.

For example, entire worlds can be sold as templates or accessories can be purchased for collectors to put in their spaces.

The sheer scale of it all is hard to quantify, and that’s exactly what makes it so exciting.

California Comics is Stocking Up on Highly Desirable Pieces, PREPARING...

This is the first time we’re seeing a licensed digital collectibles platform evolve from a marketplace into an economy.

It’s no longer just about the next drop, it’s about what you do with what you own.

And VeVe has spent years getting the licensing relationships, the tech stack & community groundwork in place to make this possible.‍

CaliComics is a master-class in acquiring some of the most sought-after digital edition numbers available. But they're not alone - THOUSANDS of users are grabbing up ('stacking') these prized assets before 'the mainstream' collecting audience decides to join in. In other words, these early adopters will be the new storefronts & sellers of assets in the years ahead. Amazon was once under $1...Bitcoin was too...sometimes, it's a GOOD thing to be nice & early to class!

Now, Let’s Talk Money.

Not speculative, hype-driven, blink-and-it’s-gone kind of money, but real, sustainable, long-term growth kind of money.

The VeVeVerse offers recurring revenue opportunities through virtual events, world customization, avatar fashion, branded environments, creator tools, and even advertising.

Every builder, artist, and collector can carve out their own niche in this new digital frontier and VeVe benefits from all of it.

The more creators thrive, the more utility the platform has.

And the more utility, the stronger the network effect becomes.

Picture a collector renting out a luxury penthouse to other users for viewing parties. Or a small business running a comic book trivia night inside a custom-built comic shop.

All of this is within reach. And none of it was possible just a few years ago.

‍This is why the VeVeVerse is the crown jewel of VeVe’s long-term strategy.

It's the evolution from digital collectibles into a full digital lifestyle, where ownership meets identity, creativity meets commerce, and fans become founders of their own virtual empires.

So yes, drops will continue.

Grails will still be chased. But the real treasure? It’s what happens after the drop.

Inside the VeVeVerse. Maybe not right this moment, but it's coming. Sentiment is shifting.

The future of digital collecting is not just bought, but built.
