The new nft collection will give users the opportunity to own a real piece of the suit and tie from Trump's mugshot, and access to dinner at his resort.
Former United States President Donald Trump has unveiled a new collection of non-fungible tokens (nft) for $99, called “Mugshot Edition.” The collection references the billionaire businessman's legal problems, allowing Trump to monetize the problem.
As part of a new nft collection of “digital trading cards” he launched late last year, Trump is selling Mugshot Edition NFTs along with pieces of a suit he wore when he was arrested in Georgia last year.
The Mugshot nft Edition
According to the Mugshot Edition website, the photo is significant because it is the first mugshot of a United States president. The website also advertises Trump's physical posture in the photo, describing his “furrowed forehead” and a “determined look that says he will never give up.” The text adds:
“This card is not just a memory; It is a piece of history and a testament to resilience. “It stands as a symbol of President Trump’s unwavering commitment and his enduring dedication to the American Dream.”
The website also states that MEARS, one of the largest sports memorabilia authenticators, has authenticated the Mugshot suit. MEARS calls the lawsuit “the most historically significant artifact in American history.”
Buyers who purchase 47 Trump Mugshot digital trading cards ($4,653) in a single transaction will receive a physical card and a piece of the actual suit Trump wore in the photo. Additionally, the buyer will join several others in dining with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's luxury resort club in Palm Beach, Florida. The 47-card spec is likely a nod to Trump becoming the 47th president of the United States if he is elected to office next year.
People who purchase 100 NFTs will get a unique digital trading card and two tickets to a VIP dinner. These people, in addition to a card with a real piece of the suit, will receive a second card with a piece of the suit and the tie. Notably, 25 of the 225 “Suit and Tie Cards” will be autographed by Trump. However, the bonus offer for people who purchase 100 digital trading cards will only be available to 200 people.
The website only specifies a location, but does not specify the date or time. However, attendees will be given at least 30 days notice to plan a trip to Palm Beach. The site also notes that the sale is not political and has nothing to do with the Trump campaign.
Previous Trump Collections
In December of last year, Trump launched nft Trading Cards, which feature the former president in fantasy poses and consumption. 45,000 cards were minted on the Polygon network and sold for $99. The collection sold out in less than 24 hours and raised more than $4 million.
In April, a second series consisting of 47,000 cards at the same price also sold out within 24 hours. The series featured varying levels of rarity and recorded sales of around $4.65 million. Like the Mugshot Edition, those with 47 cards won dinner with Trump, while purchasing 100 NFTs gave buyers dinner and a unique collectible.
