Rob Gronkowski’s (NFL star) NFT drop has generated more than $1.8 million in primary sales on NFT market OpenSea.
It has been reported that the “Rob Gronkowski Championship Series NFT Collection” includes five different tokenized cards depicting in-game action shots of the player during championship-winning games.
However, the championship series consists of five unique collectibles, including a single one-of-a-kind token, and four NFTs of which 87 copies each were minted and auctioned from March 11 until March 13.
The auction’s terms notably stipulated that any bids made in the last 10 minutes extended each auction by another 10 minutes.
The report said that the one-of-one “GRONK Career Highlight Refractor Card” is a collage of the four illustrations comprising the other tokens in the collection, and is digitally signed by Gronkowski.
