E-commerce heavyweight eBay has reportedly carried out the official release of its first NFT drop, which came with a series of tokenized collectibles featuring NHL legend Wayne Gretsky. 

Specifically, the NFT collection reportedly serves as a depiction of animated versions of Gretsky, which drew the inspiration from Sports Illustrated magazine covers. 

The NFT collection is available in four different tiers of rarity including green at 299 editions each, gold at 199, platinum at 99 and diamond at 15.

The collection is available for purchase via eBay’s marketplace at the moment. Nonetheless, the limited-edition diamond, platinum and gold tiers with the overall values equivalent to $1,500, $100 and $25 , respectively, have already sold out.

Per the announcement from eBay, the collection was designed via a collaborative effort with environment-centric NFT platform OneOf, which assists a wide range of “energy-efficient blockchains” to offer sustainable NFT collections.

Previously, eBay reportedly rolled out support for NFT listings in the middle of last year, but has not completed the integration of blockchain tech to assist with the sales on its marketplace. 

In terms of this official drop, a redemption link will be provided to the clients, through in-platform messaging or email, to receive their NFT outside of the platform.

The minting of the NFTs will reportedly be conducted on Ethereum scaling platform Polygon, and can be put up for secondary trade on OneOf.

“Through our partnership with OneOf, eBay is now making coveted NFTs more accessible to a new generation of collectors everywhere. This builds upon our commitment to deliver high passion, high-value items to the eBay community of buyers and sellers.” eBay’s vice president of collectibles, electronics and home Dawn Block additionally remarked.
