Skulls Tie All-Time High

'Sulfuric Fragments' by Sam Spratt sells for 100 ETH ($258,920 USD) to MemeStrategy from Ronald Ong, tying the all-time ETH high for the 1/1/50 'Skulls of Luci' collection.

The deal takes place via Gondi and is co-brokered by Eli Scheinman and Conviction.

Along with the Skull, there is a 'Masks of Luci' swap, with MemeStrategy receiving the custom Mask pairing for 'Sulfuric Fragments' and Ronald Ong receiving 'Neural Cage'.

Via Ronald Ong:
"3 years later, and here I am—right where it all started with my first bid on Sam Spratt's genesis piece, ‘II. Lullabies of Isaac.’ Remember stumbling across Sam’s work in early 2022 and being instantly blown away. The world that he creates and every brushstroke felt intentional. As a surprise, Sam gifted bidders a 1/1 Skull of Luci, and I was lucky enough to receive ‘Sulfuric Fragment.’"

Via MemeStrategy:
"This was a very good day. Moments like these make collecting digital art unparalleled...

I honestly cannot believe the other names I will be listed alongside as a member of the Council. All with very common goals in mind of collecting and advocating for this very important new medium as strong and positive forces."

RD Report

The edition barrage is worth noting today as several artists find success through releases with various mechanics. All share the same range of price points, interestingly.

Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of 3 ETH+ Collection, 0.3 ETH+ 1/1, 0.75 ETH+ 1/1/X, and 0.3 ETH+ Edition

Under Threshold...


...but interesting to me is 'Firefly' by Oak selling for 0.164 ETH to sweetld. The 1/1 artwork is the latest in a string of sales from Oak via SuperRare and one of a few that made me do a double take.
