Determining provenance of collectible objects

A method for determining provenance of collectible objects at a point of manufacture, the method comprising:

• capturing, via a first camera, visual data of each collectible object of a plurality of collectible objects associated with a common manufacturing event;
• identifying, based on the visual data, a particular collectible object of the plurality of collectible objects to determine a respective digital fingerprint for the particular collectible object,
• wherein the respective digital fingerprint for each collectible object is different;
• triggering, based on identifying the particular collectible object, a second camera configured to capture additional visual data of the particular collectible object during the common manufacturing event,
• wherein the additional visual data depicts the particular collectible object in transit to packaging;
• associating the additional visual data captured by the second camera with the respective digital fingerprint of the particular collectible object to generate an authenticated record for the particular collectible object;
• and
• registering the authenticated record in a database by linking the respective digital fingerprint of the particular collectible object with an indication of the common manufacturing event.

A system for determining provenance of a set of objects at a point of manufacture, the system comprising:

• a first camera configured to capture visual data of each collectible object of a plurality of collectible objects during a manufacturing event;
• a computing device in communication with the first camera configured to:
• identify, based on the visual data, a particular collectible object of the plurality of collectible objects;
• and
• determine a respective digital fingerprint for the particular collectible object, wherein each digital fingerprint is unique;
• a second camera in communication with the computing device configured to capture additional visual data of the particular collectible object in response to the computing device identifying the particular collectible object,
• wherein the additional visual data depicts the particular collectible object in transit to packaging;
• a provenance engine associated with the computing device configured to generate an authenticated record by associating the additional visual data captured by the second camera with the respective digital fingerprint of the particular collectible object;
• and
• a database coupled to the computing device configured to store information that links the respective digital fingerprint of the particular collectible object with an indication of the manufacturing event.
