From blockbuster NFT sales to seismic shifts in gaming and Web3, this week has been packed with major headlines. Whether you're flipping digital comics, stacking Punks, or watching the next big IP leap to the blockchain, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. Let’s jump into this week’s biggest moves across collectibles, tech, and culture:

CryptoPunk #2892 just changed hands for 125 ETH, or roughly $231,182.50 USD. This Punk features a top hat, VR goggles, and a luxurious beard — a bold combo that stands out even among the most iconic Punks.

It’s one of the highest Punk sales this year and another signal that serious capital is rotating back into legacy NFTs. With renewed attention on historical PFP projects, Punks continue to prove their staying power in the digital collectible space.

🏀Triple Logoman 1/1 Pulled!

One of the biggest cards of the year has surfaced — a 2023-24 Flawless Triple Logoman 1/1 featuring LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Victor Wembanyama 🤯. The card was pulled by RipHamiltonRips, instantly becoming one of the most iconic modern hits in basketball card history. With three generational talents on one card — and Wemby's rookie heat — this is a serious grail in the making.

Deadfellaz announced its trading card game Death Touch is now in alpha, with 1v1 gameplay, more than 70 characters, and evolving, animated cards. The game is being built on the gasless SKALE blockchain and will feature seasonal updates, PvE modes, and live tournaments.

The Origin Story of Fearless Fairy dropped May 1 on Whatnot with 1,000 collector packs, followed by 2,000 more on the VeeFriends Shop. Packs included chances to pull holofoils, sketch covers, and a 1-of-1 GaryVee original. All packs sold out immediately, and rare variants are now surfacing on secondary markets.

FIFA is launching its own EVM-compatible blockchain to power FIFA Collect, replacing Algorand and Polygon. Starting no earlier than May 20, users will see a 12-hour platform migration. Collectibles will transfer automatically unless held in an external wallet—those must be re-imported beforehand. MetaMask will be supported, while Algorand-native wallets like Pera will no longer work. FIFA says the move allows for better user control, future gamification, and full infrastructure ownership.

Speculation is growing that Pokémon may be heading to the Sui blockchain. Updates to Pokémon HOME's privacy policy and metadata include Parasol Technologies—owned by Mysten Labs (Sui creators). The SUI token surged over 60% after the rumors, although no official announcement has been made.

OpenAI launched built-in shopping tools for ChatGPT. Users can now compare prices, view product cards, check reviews from Amazon/Best Buy/Reddit, and get personalized recommendations—all inside the chat. For collectors and flippers, it means faster price checks, better resale evaluation, and major time savings. This feature is live for all users.

Rockstar Games officially announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on May 26, 2026, pushing it back from the original fall 2025 target. The delay is aimed at ensuring the game meets Rockstar's quality standards. Set in the fictional state of Leonida (inspired by Florida), GTA VI features Vice City as a central location and introduces Lucia, the series' first female protagonist. The announcement caused Take-Two Interactive stock to dip by 8%, but analysts view the delay as a smart move to avoid launch-day issues. Despite the setback, fan anticipation remains sky-high.

To celebrate May the 4th, Heritage Auctions hosted a blockbuster Star Wars-themed auction featuring rare memorabilia, prototypes, and vintage action figures. Here are the some of our favorite items from this auction:

This is the screen-worn hero helmet worn by Pedro Pascal in Season 1 of The Mandalorian. Constructed from fiberglass resin and smoked Perspex, the helmet measures approximately 9" x 10" x 12" and shows light production wear including minor scratches and scuffing consistent with on-set use.

It was worn during multiple iconic scenes and is one of the most recognizable costume pieces from the series. Currently listed at Heritage Auctions, bidding has reached $25,000.00 with the auction set to close on May 4.

This ultra-rare, unpainted "Peach" variant of Boba Fett is the only known AFA-graded example in existence. As of now, bidding has reached $12,187.50, with the auction set to close on May 4. Collectors are closely watching this item, as it's poised to become one of the highest-selling Star Wars action figures of the year.

This ultra-rare 1979 Kenner Canada set, featuring 12 factory-sealed figures including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Princess Leia in their original bilingual packaging, is the only graded example known to exist. Authenticated by industry expert Tom Derby and AFA, this set represents a pivotal moment in cinematic history and is highly sought after by collectors. As of now, bidding has reached $31,256.25, with the auction set to conclude on May 4

This ultra-rare 1979 Kenner Canada set, featuring 9 factory-sealed figures including the highly coveted Boba Fett on a Star Wars card, is the only graded example known to exist. Authenticated by industry expert Tom Derby and AFA, this set represents a pivotal moment in cinematic history and is highly sought after by collectors. As of now, bidding has reached $28,750.00, with the auction set to conclude on May 4.

This original foot prop, worn by Anthony Daniels as C-3PO in The Empire Strikes Back, is constructed of vacuum-formed plastic with a metallic gold finish. Measuring 12" x 3.75" x 5", it was part of the personal collection of art director Harry Lange. The piece is currently up for auction at Heritage Auctions, with the bidding at $1,812.50 and the auction set to conclude on May 4.
