Former President Donald Trump takes a unique approach in his latest NFT sales pitch, offering fans a chance to not only dine with him but also own a piece of the suit he wore during his recent mugshot.
Dinner and a Piece of History: Trump's "Mugshot Edition" Trading Cards
For $99, fans can purchase the new "Mugshot Edition" digital trading cards, and those who buy 47 cards in a single transaction ($4,653) will secure dinner with Trump and receive a physical trading card featuring a fragment of the infamous suit from his Georgia mugshot.
Exclusive Bonuses for Crypto Users
Crypto enthusiasts buying 100 cards in one transaction will enjoy additional perks, including an invitation to a "pre-gala" cocktail reception with the former president. Beyond a card with a suit piece, those purchasing over 100 cards will also receive another card with a fragment of the tie worn during the police photograph.
Volume Surge Amidst "Mugshot Edition" Announcement
The announcement of the "Mugshot Edition" led to a remarkable 200% increase in trading volume for Trump's initial digital trading card collection within the last 24 hours. Despite the surge, the total volume remains below $100,000, as per OpenSea data.
Limited-Edition Cards and NFT INT LLC
The Trump site reveals there are 2,024 limited-edition physical trading cards, each containing a part of the suit. The offering is managed by NFT INT LLC, distinct from Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, and affiliated entities, as stated on the website.
Trump's Involvement and NFT Licensing Fees
The website clarifies that NFT INT LLC operates under a paid license from CIC Digital LLC, with Trump's name and likeness. It emphasizes that Trump's involvement is not direct ownership or control. Past disclosures indicate Trump's association with CIC Digital LLC, where he owns significant ether assets and has earned over $4.9 million in NFT licensing fees.
While Trump's NFT venture attracts attention, the relatively low total trading volume suggests a niche interest, and the association with the former president's legal matters might impact the overall appeal.
