What is a Crypto Bull Run? (Animated Explainer + Prediction)
The bidders should not be mistaken, though — Julian Lennon will remain in possession of the physical items, while the winner will own the rights to each of the unique NFTs. The NFT collectibles will be available in an audio-visual format, with narration by Julian Lennon.
As far as speculation goes, it is expected that McCartney’s handwritten arrangement will receive the most attention during the auction. The starting bid for this NFT collectible is set at $30,000.
The bidding opened up on Monday, January 24, and the auction will commence on February 7. The auction of the collection will be available on the NFT marketplace YellowHeart.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the White Feather Foundation. This organization helps foster education and welfare for girls in developing nations.
This is not the first time that the Beatles memorabilia has been auctioned as NFTs. In December of last year, rare interviews with all four members of the British band were minted and sold alongside unique portraits.
This auction was organized by Voices of Classic Rock. The winning bidders received a .wav file and the aforementioned portrait along with their unique NFTs.
Other items related to the Beatles have been auctioned off in the traditional manner over the years since their disbandment, particularly after the deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison.
