Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 9/11 - 9/12
Immortal Edition
Punk4945 is not finished building one of the greatest XCOPY collections in existence.
On the heels of acquiring ‘Bad Flavour’ 1/1 for 280 ETH (~$669,000), the collector adds ‘Mortal #5/10’ for 220 WETH (~$520,000). This edition was originally released in August, 2020 via Nifty Gateway as part of the ‘Select Works’ Collection. It minted alongside ‘DEATHLESS’ and ‘OVERLORD’.
Via The Doomed DAO:
“One of X’s most sought-after editioned pieces - it has finally been secured by our doomed member Punk4945 after an intense 6-month hunt.”

Closing Thoughts
I could leave it at one word “XCOPY” again, but I’m not looking to be cheeky. Instead, I’ll cast your eyes to volume. This is the first time in a long time that 4 collections priced under 2 ETH each (3 of them under 1 ETH each) all showed double digit secondary ETH numbers. It’s a small sign. It’s a good sign.
24 Hours of Art:
Happy birthday Justin Wetch! Justin is a talented artist, technical wizard, and my partner on ART designs. They will resume this weekend and progressively catch up missed days.
The Digital Art Market Report:
Teased yesterday and discussed in the 24 Hours of Art Telegram (where there is an excerpt to read), the Report will debut publicly next week. It is the next significant step for 24 Hours of Art, and a construct that I hope will be additive to many.
