Though the digital collectibles initially sold for $99 a piece, prices are already much higher less than 24 hours after their launch.
At time of writing, the floor price for a Trump Digital Trading Card on OPENSEA is 0.159 ETH, or approximately $190, nearly double the entry price.
Though some are listed for upwards of 100,000,000,000,000 ETH, the highest actual selling price of a Trump NFT at time of writing is 6 ETH, or $7,162. The transaction occurred on December 15 – the same day of the collection’s release.
