GenZ: Welcome
NYC Christie’s Auction Just Cleared $35M+ π½π
NYC really ate with the Christie’s 250th US Anniversary auction. Early 2026 is officially peaked because the vibes were immaculate and the Americana was strictly main character energy.
The room was low-key shaking because the final total more than doubled its estimate, securing a massive $35,562,465 bag. π° The math was definitely mathing. π
The absolute standouts? The Legendary Grails
The Declaration of Independence: A rare 1776 broadside printing sold for a massive $5.6 million. Literally the OG “receipt” of freedom.
The Emancipation Proclamation: A signed copy of this absolute W for human rights cleared for $3.5 million. Straight-up GOAT behavior from Lincoln.
The OG 1976 Apple Computer partnership agreement sold for a casual $2.5 million. ππ No cap, Steve Jobs and the squad signed some papers that changed the world, and now those docs are the ultimate 1-of-1 grail.
Early 2026 is already a W for history stans. Congrats to Christies! Stay woke. πΊπΈπ₯
