DraftKings Marketplace is now live and users will be able to purchase NFTs through Drops (where DraftKings lists new NFTs on the Marketplace) and from other users on the secondary market. 

Starting on Aug. 11, the first drops will feature content from the Preseason Access Collection. The exclusive debut content will be provided by Autograph and includes Preseason Access Passes from top athletes such as Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Tony Hawk, Naomi Osaka, Derek Jeter, Tiger Woods and more to be announced soon. These sports-related NFTs will be available exclusively on Autograph.io and on DraftKings Marketplace, only available to users in the United States.

Each owner of a Preseason Access Pass NFT, regardless of edition, will also be granted preferential access to a future NFT drop from Autograph at a later date. Additionally, they will receive access to a private Discord community and exclusive digital events for holders. Visit autograph.io to link your Discord account.

Each featured athlete will begin by dropping a limited number of NFT collectibles categorized as the Premier drops and Signature drops within the Preseason Access Collection. Scarcity is an important concept to understand within NFT markets, as collectibles that are more rare typically garner a higher price in the markets in which they trade. 

There will be multiple versions of each collectible within the Premier and Signature drops of the Preseason Access Collection, each with varying edition sizes. You can determine a collectible’s rarity level by the color in the name, with Carbon being the most common and Ruby the most rare. The drop price for these collectibles will correlate to the rarity mechanics, so the scarcest collectibles will be the most expensive. 

Signature drop collectibles will contain authentic digital signatures from the featured athlete in the drop. Each signature is completely unique, so if there are 100 signed editions of a Tom Brady collectible, that means Tom Brady individually signed each of the 100 editions.

Collectibles featuring signed editions will have a “Signed” badge on the Drops and Browse page. In a drop, you won’t be able to see your unique signature until you purchase your NFT. On the secondary market, you can view the details page for a signed collectible edition to see the unique signature.

Each drop will have its own queue, and users must wait in the queue for an opportunity to purchase the collectible in that specific drop. However, inventory is limited and there may be more users interested in purchasing an NFT than the total available in the specific drop. Users can ensure that they secure a place in the queue by arriving early to join the waiting room.

For each drop, the waiting room will open 30 minutes prior to the scheduled drop time. All participants that join the waiting room will have their spot in the queue randomly selected once the drop begins. Please note that making it through the queue does not guarantee you will be able to purchase an NFT. 

Users can deposit after they get through the queue, but they are encouraged to pre-fund their accounts to maximize the opportunity to get the NFT.

If you do not make it through the queue or you want to purchase more than one edition of a particular collectible, please browse the Marketplace to view editions that other users have placed for sale.
