Unlike earlier Marvel NFT variant covers, although, these new variant covers shall be restricted version, 1-of-1 releases, and obtainable via auctions with a gap bid of simply $1,500.
The three strains of code up for bid are:
-

This is an uncolored model of the 1:25 variant cowl that was available in shops. The unique art work for an additional Pichelli Miles cowl offered earlier this 12 months for $9,000, so that is form of a deal, in the event you take into account spending 1000’s of {dollars} on nothing similar to spending 1000’s of {dollars} on one thing you’ll be able to contact and cling in your wall.

Responding to confusion about what the auctions really are, Young took to his Substack e-newsletter to make clear that what’s up for bid isn’t precise bodily art work:
There is NO PHYSICAL part to this drop. I’ve seen a couple of individuals point out getting the the bodily unique artwork piece together with this and that’s NOT true. You shall be bidding on a digital NFT.
