NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The sports memorabilia and NFT markets continue to break trading volume records in 2021, and now a rare non-fungible token created by Naomi Osaka will go up for sale, according to promoter Cool Media PR.

In April, Osaka and her sister, Mari Osaka, dropped a six-piece collection of 1-of-1 NFTs. The NFTs were individually auctioned on retail marketplace Basic.Space,and they collectively sold for nearly $600,000. One of the editions was purchased for $200,200, which, to date, is the highest single NFT sale by a professional tennis player.

Now, the owner of the sixth and final Osaka NFT is putting the piece of digital artwork up for sale, hoping to capitalize on the favorable timing of the booming NFT market and the start of the U.S. Open tennis tournament this week in New York.

Soccer superstar Lionel Messi sold a 1-of-1 NFT for more than $1 million last week. In July, heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury sold a single-edition token for $987,000. Professional athletes Patrick Mahomes, Rob Gronkowski, Francis Ngannou and Andy Murray have all sold one-of-a-kind NFTs in the six-figure range this year.

One of the two major credit card companies bought a rare CryptoPunk last week for more than $165,000 in Ethereum, with the sole reason of adding to its "collection of historic commerce artifacts."

"This is an extremely unique piece, and the story behind it brings a lot of value to the future of sports memorabilia collecting through NFTs," NFT expert and founder of CryptoStache.com, Shea Newkirk said of the Osaka artwork for sale.

The NFT is titled "Finding What Was Lost," and Osaka's sister told HYPEBEAST.com that this edition was Naomi's favorite of the six. The artist caption by Mari reads:

"While she may occasionally lose her way, Naomi always manages to find herself back on the path she has been searching for."

All of the NFTs are signed by both Naomi and Mari. The NFTs were created on the Flow blockchain, which is the same blockchain that produces NBA Top Shot's non-fungible tokens.

Interesting NFTs
Crypto Toy Coin
This piece represents the creation of a new "Visual Toy", a term created by me to encompass my unique and exclusive GIF-Arts. The latter, "Crypto Toy Coin" is the only and first in the cryptocurrency theme. In it I represent the fast-paced world of finance in the virtual environment, the Internet with its universe of colors and infinite visual impact, an optimistic and exciting future, a world of possibilities that opens before us. These "Visual Toys" invite you to imagine, that is their function, that is the game. The ultimate goal is that you imagine, that it is you who gives it meaning. There are no good or bad answers, just the projection of each one. I've only created the trigger, the piece where you can project your imagination and let it fly.
Art Is The Currency of the Infinite
This still-life, titled after one of Pablo Picasso's infamous quotes, was made solely using 3D softwares and apps, in an attempt to bring this often forgotten artistic genre into the 21st century through the use of new artistic mediums and technologies. This piece is also an invitation to meditate on the role of "value" throught the ages and how it's been radically altered by the coming into existence of technologies and concepts like cryptocurrencies and digital scarcity.
