eBay has officially announced its first NFT drop via a series of tokenized items depicting National Hockey League (NHL) star Wayne Gretsky, which went live on May 23rd, 2022. The NFT collection features animated Gretsky variants based on Sports Illustrated magazine covers. They are available in four distinct rarity levels: Green (299 tokens), Gold (199), Platinum (99), and Diamond (15 tokens). The collection is currently available for purchase on eBay&39s marketplace, but the limited edition Gold, Platinum and Diamond tiers valued at $25, $100 and $1,500, respectively, have since been sold out. The collection was reportedly created in collaboration with environmentally conscious NFT platform OneOf, which enables several energy-efficient blockchains to deliver sustainable NFT collections. eBay&39s VP of Collectibles, Electronics, and Home Dawn Block remarked that NFTs are transforming the collectibles industry and that the company is actively working towards introducing non-fungible tokens to mainstream collectors worldwide.
