Provenance
As the Cardboard*Con 8 Trophies were revealed Cardboard Captain Drew explains, “Yeah, well sure it’s garbage, but it’s garbage that has a provenance, which is a French word that means that people will pay more for a thing because you have a list of every poor joker that kept it in their garage for a few years before their moms made them get rid of it.”
As with most pieces of modern art, they’re not much to look at, yet a whole lot to people would like to own one. If you win one of these it means that you’re popular!
