Player by Sam Spratt

RD Report

The limited activity is residual from the crypto pullback. Let's see if (hopefully) 24-48 hours of stability rights the ship.

The 'Player' by Sam Spratt market is the most interesting show in town right now as collectors prepare for the upcoming Masquerade.

To claim a Mask between Feb 4th (today) and 6th, Player editions must be on Nifty Gateway. Only 50 of the 256 editions exist outside NG at present (19.5%), spread across 35 wallets. There are two currently listed at 8.88 and 9.8 ETH.

The clock is ticking. This goes one of two ways. They sell and the market locks up completely. They don't, are stranded, and the collectors are put to a decision: capitulate lower or transfer into NG and play.

Catch-up: The DAM Show
Bryan Brinkman, Botto (Simon Hudson), and Verse (Jamie Gourlay and Leyla Fakhr) joined the show in a wide-ranging digital art conversation.

Watch or listen here.

Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of (USD) $10k+ Collection, $1k+ 1/1, $2k+ 1/1/X, and $1k+ Edition artworks

Under threshold but interesting to me is 'Hand' /15 by Bryan Brinkman selling for 0.3 ETH. It is part of his 'Tragic Pop' collection, released with Nifty Gateway in March, 2022.
