NEW: A 1st Edition Charizard sold for $825K on
@Collector_Crypt via
@Solana, one of the largest onchain TCG sales to date.
@bassbuddha, Head of Marketing at Collector Crypt, described on
@_TalkingTokens earlier this year the friction of buying high-value cards through traditional rails, and why that pushes sales like this onchain:
"If I'm in South Korea and I purchase from someone in Texas, the seller gets hit with a 14% fee on eBay, and I've got to pay the import taxes.
It's got to survive transit. It's got to arrive in the condition the seller promised me it would.
When you bring all these things onchain, you're trading the digital deed. I don't want a $32,000 card in my home. Let it stay in a climate-controlled vault, and I can trade the ownership or take out a loan against it."
