The British auction house Christie\u2019s has been immersed in the non-fungible token (NFT) art and collectibles industry for quite some time. Christie\u2019s has auctioned blockchain-backed items like Block 21 of \u201cPortraits of a Mind,\u201d Cryptopunks, and Beeple\u2019s NFT that sold for more than $69 million. On October 1, Christie\u2019s plans to sell a set of old 2017-issued Curio Cards and the set will also include a secret rare card.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leading Auction House Christie\u2019s Is Auctioning a Set of NFT Curio Cards<\/h2>\n

The non-fungible token (NFT) space has swelled quite a bit and the auction house Christie\u2019s has been involved for a while now. The popular British auction house first dipped its toes into the NFT world in September 2020 when the firm showcased Block 21 of \u201cPortraits of a Mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ever since then, the company has continued to auction NFTs of all colors, shapes, and sizes. Now the company will auction a unique set of NFT collectibles called Curio Cards<\/a>, which is one of the oldest Ethereum NFT collectibles produced back in 2017.<\/p>\n

Curio Cards is unique series of 30 NFT cards. The set includes 17b, a secret rare card.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin.com News reported on Curio Cards on June 4, 2017, when our newsdesk interviewed<\/a> the project\u2019s creator Thomas Hunt, otherwise known as the personality called \u2018Mad Bitcoins.\u2019 Hunt predicted that NFTs would be a big deal back then and at the time, Hunt told our newsdesk the collectibles would feature certain crypto artists.<\/p>\n

He kept the artists a secret when Bitcoin.com News interviewed him but later it was revealed Curio Cards featured seven artists, including Luis Buenaventura<\/a>, Phneep<\/a>, Cryptograffiti<\/a>, and Marisol Vengas. Bitcoin.com News recently reported<\/a> on Curio Cards again in 2021, when the collectibles, alongside Rare Pepe (Counterparty-issued) NFTs<\/a>, saw fresh demand this year.<\/p>\n

Now Christie\u2019s will be selling a full set of Curio Cards as the firm\u2019s auction calendar<\/a> indicates the sale will happen in New York City on October 1, 2021. On August 30, the leading auction house tweeted<\/a> about the upcoming Curio Cards sale. Christie\u2019s wrote:<\/p>\n

As part of our Post-War to Present sale on 1 October in NYC, we\u2019re proud to present a full set of Curio Cards, which are 30 Non-Fungible Tokens considered to be some of the oldest artworks on the Ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n

Similar to those selling Rare Pepe Counterparty-issued NFTs with the help of container software<\/a> and a step-by-step guide<\/a> to adding XCP NFTs, Curio Cards need to be wrapped to be compatible with Opensea. The cards also have a Curio Wrapper Tool<\/a> and the Curio Docs<\/a> explain the process in detail.<\/p>\n

\u201cA 1% artist royalty fee on Opensea sales was voted in by the community on 3\/31\/21. 100% of this royalty is split equally between the original artists,\u201d the Opensea Curio Cards market description notes.<\/p>\n

Christie\u2019s auction of Beeple\u2019s \u201cEverydays: The First 5000 Days<\/a>\u201d NFT holds the record for the most expensive NFT ever sold in history. The auction house also sold a set of nine original Cryptopunks for $16.9 million as well. On September 17, Christie\u2019s will host the first NFT art sale in Asia when it auctions Cryptopunks, Meebits, and Bored Ape NFTs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People please save some ETH<\/a> for the @MyCurioCards<\/a> at C\u2019s damn!!<\/p>\n

In addition to Christie\u2019s, the auction house Sotheby\u2019s has also stepped into the world of non-fungible token collectible auctions. Sotheby\u2019s first revealed<\/a> its NFT entry in mid-March 2021, when the auction house partnered with a popular digital artist dubbed \u201cPak.\u201d Sotheby\u2019s auctioned<\/a> a Cryptopunk for close to $12 million and sold<\/a> world wide web inventor Timothy John Berners-Lee\u2019s NFT source code with an error for $5.4 million<\/p>\n
