Julien’s Auctions
Julien’s Auctions is a world-renowned auction house based in California. Some of the most famous objects have been auctioned in Julien’s Auctions.
Think of Michael Jackson’s signature white glove, his white socks, and the jacket he wore in his 1983 “Thriller” music video.
A 1915 prototype for Coca-Cola’s iconic bottle and Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress (Now listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive gown ever bought at auction).

The Five Levels Of Rarity In The One Of Platform:
– OneOf: The ultra-rare, bid-only tier which contains just 1 edition of an artist’s most exclusive NFT. This tier often includes once-in-a-lifetime experiences with the artist, unreleased music, VIP concert tickets, and more.
– Diamond: This extremely limited tier, often containing 25 or fewer editions, features exclusive content, rare interviews or performances, VIP concert tickets, and more. Editions could be available for purchase or bidding, depending on the drop.
– Platinum: This limited edition tier often contains less than 1,000 editions, is priced affordably and purchasable via credit or debit cards, and often includes very limited assets and rare content. Select editions may include concert tickets, experiential opportunities, and more.
– Gold: An accessible tier that still features limited editions. Gold tier NFTs allow everyday music fans the opportunity to engage with and own a piece from their favorite artist’s collections.
This tier could have anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands of editions, available for under $100 and purchasable via credit or debit cards.
– Green: The most accessible tier that allows everyday fans to receive an NFT for FREE by taking an action to improve the community, or through making a donation to a top charitable cause.
