As for the items, there are 50 editions of the NFT called “TOOLS OF THE TRADE” as well as “STILL D.G.A.F.” The third NFT is a limited edition, single copy known as “STAN’S REVENGE” and will be sold auction style.

A collector since the younger days
According to Bitcoin.com, during the announcement of NFT sale, Eminem said he had been a collector ever since he was a kid.
“I’ve been collecting since I was a kid, everything from comic books to baseball cards to toys, as well as every rap album on cassette I could get my hands on,” he said.
As for the NFT drop, the rapper said, “I wanted to give this drop the same vibe of, ‘Oh, man I gotta get just that one or maybe even the whole set!’ It’s been a lot of fun coming up with ideas from my own collecting passion.”
