gotcha... I don't have any experience with NFC personally, I've only briefly looked at the tech for a project I did at work but we ended up going in a different direction. I do like to test out new tech like that though when a good opportunity arises.
I'm in the same boat! So the main reason why I brought up the stickers at all was because I had to do some projects with these things to hold registration info and it was more of a shortcut to read data that I needed for Asset Management. NFC was something new to me so I figured, hey why not, someone wanted to look into this so I thought it was cool. I was tinkering around with binary files to just save data on a previous (ongoing project) and one thing lead to another and a light bulb turned on to relate
@winteriscomings card reader with your NFC reading idea.
I'm probably not one to suggest anything new but if someone were to continue with this testing I hope someone is more intrigued than I am to get this to happen.
I will post some add'l data once I find the notes I have stashed somewhere.
If you have a Lego Dimensions toypad, this can be used to communicate with Linux to read NFC data. (NOTE: READ ONLY)
This link will provide some sample code:

The link mentions using Mindstorm EV3 but this is optional (don't bother, they're over $300 at the time I last checked)
The other method is to load NFC data from a shared location (what I tried) then write to NFC destination, whether it be a tag, module, other device to hold that data.
Forgive my gibberish if the above does not make sense, I am typing this from memory (minus the link above, had to google for it) before I shut down for the evening.
