OneOf, the mass-consumer Web3 company empowering iconic brands, artists, and athletes, today announces their Legends of Rock: Led Zeppelin digital collectibles series in partnership with eBay and Globe Entertainment and Media (Globe), custodian of the world’s most famous archives.
In honor of one of the greatest bands in the world, the collection pairs rare real-world physical memorabilia with a digital certificate of authenticity to offer fans a chance to own a moment in rock history.
The Legends of Rock: Led Zeppelin Collection features a unique collection of three photos taken by photographer Jay Thompson, capturing Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones during the famous 1969 photo shoot at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont.
Included with each purchase is a pair of original, vintage tickets from Led Zeppelin’s Chicago Stadium concert in 1980, which was abruptly canceled due to the unexpected death of the band’s drummer, John Bonham.
The tickets, which were exclusively printed for the special concert series and would surely become an important piece of Led Zeppelin memorabilia, were never sold and the Led Zeppelin era came to an untimely end.
“Led Zeppelin is my favorite band of all time and I could not be more excited about this collection,” says Joshua James, Co-Founder & COO, OneOf. “These original tickets and photographs are truly a piece of history. We are proud to partner with eBay and Globe Entertainment on this project, while honoring Led Zeppelin and their fans by bringing their legacy into the future.”
“With this drop, eBay is connecting Led Zeppelin fans with storied pieces of the band’s history – and affirming the authenticity of this legendary memorabilia with blockchain technology,” said Brita Turner, General Manager, Collectibles, at eBay. “Collectors and enthusiasts turn to eBay for the rare, exclusive and iconic, and these original Led Zeppelin tickets and photographs highlight the unique items eBay brings to music fans, and to all collector communities.”
“We are thrilled to offer collectors the opportunity to own this incredible Led Zeppelin memorabilia,” says Klaus Moeller, CEO of Globe Entertainment and Media. “Thanks to OneOf, Globe is able to leverage the latest Web3 commerce technology and bring this unique collection to life to give fans a new chance to connect with such an iconic and well-loved band.”
The limited-edition collection offers two tiers for collectors.
The Platinum tier ($199) includes 99 editions for each of the three photographs. Collectors will receive a physical 16 x 16 photograph printed on archival paper as well as two original tickets from Led Zeppelin’s canceled 1980 tour.
The Diamond tier ($399) will offer 5 fans a 30 x 24 professionally framed and engraved photograph of Led Zeppelin as well as four tickets from the Chicago Stadium Led Zeppelin concert.
Each purchase of a physical print will include a Digital Certificate of Authenticity, minted on the Tezos blockchain, to confirm the buyer’s ownership of the physical print.
The memorabilia will be sent to the mailing address provided by the buyers within 5 business days, ready to arrive just in time for the holidays.
