From Berlin out into the world: The multisport collectible platform FANZONE is launching the pre-sale of a very special collection of new digital trading cards (also called ‚collectibles‘) on 15th of February, starting the public sale on the 16th of February – together with the NBA superstars Moritz and Franz Wagner from Berlin. The brothers laid the foundation for their already impressive career in the German capital: at the traditional club and talent factory Alba Berlin, they developed quickly and, via a station with the college team Michigan Wolverines, quickly approached the dream destination of all basketball players: the NBA. Here they are the first couple of German brothers in history  to play together in the strongest and most popular basketball league.r. The two brothers currently play for the Orlando Magic.

The "Berlin – Home Collection" consists of three different collector’s items. There are digital trading cards from their time at Alba Berlin with a design from this phase of their career as well as scenes from an exclusive interview. In addition, 3D Bobblehead figures in the Alba jersey will be released in a digital box, also with a video interview in the box. The highlight of the collection will be the 3D studio in which the Bobblehead figures move while scenes of an interview play in the background.

"We are very happy to have found FANZONE, a reliable and innovative partner from our hometown, with whom we are releasing our first digital collection. It is important to us to be in exchange with our fans. This way we create a first access and create a real highlight with the trading cards including interviews. We are also very excited about the direct exchange with the fans in the virtual meet & greet", Mo and Franz comment on the partnership.

All digital trading cards are verified individual pieces that include additional video snippets from an exclusive interview with Franz and Moritz Wagner. In the interview, they talk about their childhood heroes, their career start in Berlin and many other things they associate with Berlin and basketball. Fans also have the chance to win thrilling prizes: If they own all the cards in the collection, they will automatically be entered into a Wagner Brothers merchandise raffle. If they complete the entire collection or own a so-called "unique item", they qualify for a virtual meet & greet with the two brothers.

The new "Berlin – Home Collection" by FANZONE is the first of a total of three drops through which all Wagner fans get the chance to follow the path of their stars:

With a total of three Wagner collections, we want to offer fans unique content and give them the chance to get even closer to their stars.
