In addition to this, the auction also has seven autographed posters and from his iconic movies and half a dozen collectibles of “punks and NFTs art & Poster collection” which have received bids worth over $1,00,000 on Day 1.
A unique feature to the auction is the “Loot Box”, worth $10 each. Every buyer of this box would get an assured art piece from the NFT collection. The Loot box goes live on November 2 at 7 pm offering 5000 collectibles for which over 300,000 crypto collectible fans have signed up globally. This exclusive NFT auction is being hosted on BeyondLife.club, powered by Guardian Link, one of India’s biggest de-centralized branded marketplace for NFTs.
