Storied wants every football shirt to carry its own paper trail
Storied is designing an NFC-based provenance system for sports jerseys, combining collector listings, human legitimacy checks, and transferable ownership records.
Field notes
The proposed system combines a sewn-in NFC component with a permanent web record that can carry acquisition, match-worn, signature, and transfer events. Authentication is framed as a three-part evidence submission: identity, construction, and story, followed by a collector-written verdict rather than a numerical score. The page lists a $20 standalone check, Gold and Platinum memberships at $14 and $28 per month, and seller fees declining from 12% to 5%. The physical tags remain in design and collector testing.
