It was done in a way that immediately had multiple collectors/people join the story from the beginning.
And from now onwards, everyone will be paying attention to the next drops.

8/ Not to mention the other 2 single editions sold for $67k each.

10/ Recap,
1. Social media helped validate an amazing story, showed me all his art + follower/collector base.
2. $1 had me involved from the start and gave me a chance to pick up a piece.
3. Healthy secondary market + many collectors means attention on next drops
Win-win-win.
