Welcome to the first drop on the new Blockparty 2.0 platform! And boy, what a drop it is. We are absolutely thrilled to host a collab between MLB ROTY and record setting slugger Pete Alonso, and Mets minor leaguer, rising star, and accomplished artist Tommy Wilson.
The drop is today at 3 EST.
Not only is this drop a collaboration between a sports superstar and one of the early artists in the NFT space, it is also for a good cause! This drop will support minor leaguers, who have been put in a tough situation lately with the pandemic.
The drop will contain four different pieces of original art, designed by Tommy, with different edition counts and corresponding rarities. The silver editions are direct sale starting at 500 USD and the top two rarities will be auctions.
This drop is a cool way for us to come out of the gate with 2.0. If you remember, Tommy was one of the first artists we ever worked with on the original Blockparty platform! How appropriate then that we come full circle and launch with his artwork, in collaboration with the superstar Alonso, and featured in ESPN. Feels serendipitous!
Early work from major NFT platforms tends to be highly collectible, so in addition to all the other exciting narratives around this drop, that is also a factor to consider. There will only ever be one first drop on Blockparty 2.0, and this is it.
We will see you there at 3 EST. Let’s make history!
