Now that you own some Upland Legits of NFL players (see the different types here), what can you do with them? Here we will break down the different things you can do with Upland Legits. This is based on Upland’s introduction of Legits and the presentation provided during an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the CEO, we will summarize in how these NFTs will function within the game, and speculate beyond what was said.

The following are different things you can do with NFL player Upland Legits
Players can buy and sell Legits through player owned metaventures. Learn how to open your own NFLPA Fan Shop. You will be able to sell Legits you own, as well as earn commission from other players listing theirs in your shop.
If you are looking to trade Legits, that can be done directly between players. All assets (except for properties) can be traded for each other, meaning there is no requirement to trade an NFLPA Legit for another NFLPA Legit.
If you want to be the one to mint the Legit, you must do this through purchasing a bundle (or Essentials), or exchanging a Pass. Learn more about the different kinds of bundles here.
Your Fan Score is important because the larger it is for each team, the more likely you will be to mint valuable mementos (assuming you own a relevant pass).
In the future, we can expect (speculation) that minting more valuable replicas, as well as increasing the chances of getting an autograph will also give you higher odds based on a higher team/player fan score.
At season's end, players with the highest fan score for each team will receive prizes.
In order to boost your fan points for each Legit, you can add them to collections, similar to how you would for properties. For each team, there are a total of 14 collections that you can add your Legits to.
Creating collections will increase your fan score as described above. Each team has 14 different collections. When completing the collection, the Legits actively in that collection receive a fan point boost. This is similar to how property collections work. See the different NFL Legits collections here.
Legits are first and foremost collectibles. They are 3D designs and optimized for a mobile experience. They are great to show off to your friends, both inside and outside the metaverse. You are able to define a primary residence, where you will virtually live. You will be able to display your Legits in your home. In addition, other NFTs not native to Upland that you own will be able to be imported by uploading them using the Upland NFT Portal. To build your own home, you will need spark; click here to read about spark.
Blending/burning/merging Legits is the process of taking specific Essentials and "trading them in" to get a Legit that is more rare and/or of higher value. When Legits are blended, they are essentially deleted. Read more about what is required to get a replica here.
Legits will be used to revolutionize the way people play Fantasy Football.
Each week, you will be able to form a team roster based on the Legits that you own. The real world stats that your roster accumulates during that week multiplied by some factor based on Legit type (for example, replicas being more valuable than essentials) will provide you with a total score for the week. Every week you can create a new roster using the Legits in your inventory. There will be global and private leaderboards as well as opportunities to go head-to-head with your friends. Aside from bragging rights, there could be prizes in the form of UPX, spark, Legits, or something else.
Gone are the days each fantasy football league has a Tom Brady. Yes, in Upland everyone can mint a Tom Brady Essential Legit, but if you own a Brady Memento or were able to get a rare Brady Replica by blending Essentials, then that would clearly provide you with an added boost compared to all the other players who add a Brady Essential to their rosters.
