1970s Racquet No. 1

Throughout the 1970s, wooden racquets were still most commonly used among the playing group, but composite materials such as fibreglass started to appear as a reinforcement on wooden frames. The ’70s was also a turning point for racquets and their features. Engineers were experimenting with a range of materials, including aluminum and fibre-reinforced composites to not only build strength, but add longevity to the racquet. By the late ‘70s, almost all players had moved onto some form of aluminum or fibreglass racquet, looking to get a competitive edge. Wooden racquets instead soon became collectors items, mostly commonly found in thrift stores or in the depths of your grandparents’ garage.

1980s Racquet No. 1

By the 1980’s, aluminum was the main material used for the majority of racquets. String damage and fraying issues were eventually overcome with use of plastic grommets as the speed of the game rapidly increased. Manufacturers began designing racquets with larger heads and as a result and in 1981, the International Tennis Federation began limiting racquet size, so technological developments would not change the nature of the game.

Max Verstappen Race Suit - Mexican GP, 2021

The driver’s race suit is a complicated garment, engineered to fulfil many exclusive tasks – it most definitely isn’t just a set of overalls! The primary responsibility of the race suit is to offer protection but at the same time, it needs to be able to breathe. This isn’t purely a matter of comfort: drivers spend much of their day wearing a race suit, often in a stifling cockpit or hot ambient conditions. This in turn can lead to a decrease in mental ability, possibly dangerous when making split-second decisions on a busy and super-fast racetrack. The tailored race suit is designed to keep drivers cool while keeping them safe, allowing them to perform at the very highest level. Our Collectible is Max Verstappen’s race suit from the 2021 Mexican GP.

The OG D&B Game Token No. 1

Before the days of the rechargeable Power Card, every arcade at Dave & Buster’s operated on tokens. In fact, we’re called Dave & Buster’s and not Buster & Dave’s thanks to a flip of the coin, so it is fitting that this 3D ERC721 NFT would celebrate the rich history of Dave & Buster’s.
