Congrats!!! If you are in the discord, someone might buy your spot. Worth a try if you are not really sure.

Thanks! Went for it. They gave me "You used to be a wallflower" - ain't that the truth.

So did they tell you your edition # before you had to decide to purchase?

Or was it like a fortune cookie? Didnt know your fortune until you paid for dinner?

I happened to hit on this Superplastic Janky Heist thru Christie's.

They are having a Japanese Reverse Auction and the prices are going down as the days go on.

I was able to grab an NFT for $10 today.

Fortune cookie. No choice.

But I bet some people will trade them amongst themselves and such if they want to.

Honestly feel if you have some side money to pickup one of the games from today’s art blocks release on OS. It could possibly be a first of its kind.

Just started getting into it more. Head to their discord. I picked up a bunch of squiggles, apparitions and todays game. Tomorrow is supposed to be big to the point of near impossiblity to get
Joined the discord a month ago but haven't dug into it yet. My friend that's really into the platform is someone that's had no prior interest in art. That alone caught my attention that they must be doing something pretty cool. Is Aldia Sun the big upcoming drop?

Congrats on the pickup. Thanks for sharing the url, I hadn't seen the individual product pages yet. I'm a total sucker for all the stats they show. Yours is in the top 17% for the usage of the color blue 8)

Thank you! And it's top 2% for use of magenta! (I have no idea how much these stats ultimately matter in the end)

Any other suckers out there buying Panini Prizm cards the last few weeks? I've been loading up on #1s and jersey #s. Marketplace is so difficult to maneuver for most that it makes finding deals possible if you're willing to put in the time.

Where are you following art blocks? Is there a dischord?

Are you sticking to low serial # variants or including base in your purchases. After being hung to dry after the Top Shot debacle I only bought two packs of the silver parallel packs and didn’t really hit anything good. Might consider buying singles instead
