Two years ago, on the first Super Burn Sunday, I purchased my first Check. As someone who works for an NFL team, I’m usually locked into the game and commercials, but in 2023, when the Eagles faced the Chiefs, I was glued to OpenSea, watching as new Originals appeared.
That was Day 1. I minted Check #11662—a Skittle, but one with a color I loved. After missing the open edition and the initial burn hype, I figured I’d just hold onto that one Check and be done.
But as time passed, I fell deeper into the project. I loved the concept of being a parametric artist, contributing my own taste through compositing. I loved curating a collection that represented me within a larger whole. And I admired what Jack and Jalil stood for in a space often plagued by rug pulls and scammers.
Today, after two years of collecting and trading, I finally composited a coveted 1 Check (the 69th one in existence) —on the same day that the Eagles and Chiefs meet again in the Super Bowl. The journey has been incredible, and I’m beyond thrilled to have reached this milestone. The project has even inspired my own art (see my shell pieces below in the Checks/VV style) and has pushed me to think more deeply about the concept of notability.
One of the best aspects of Checks is the community that Jack and Jalil have built—people always willing to help. Huge thanks to @hemdawg for trading me Check #733, and to @likelewis for also offering a trade. Both of you were incredibly kind!
A special shoutout to @Beausecurity—I consider myself pretty solid on security, but I clicked on a bad link this week. Luckily, my Ledger wasn’t connected, but it was my default wallet, and it gave me the scare of my life. Beau helped ensure I was all good.
And lastly, a massive thank you to Jalil for his patience while I tested his new tool that allows you to composite all the way down to a 1 Check in a single transaction—giving me the ability to choose my final color.
Excited to close this chapter... now, onto securing my grail Opepens! 🎨🔥
Also note a homage to the Chiefs and Eagles embedded within this check with the compositing of 14651 and 2356 (even though both teams can kick rocks).
