Deathwave

Price Rationale

Deathwave is an early 2019 SuperRare XCOPY 1/1 with clean provenance and an exact-token path from 1.0 ETH in 2019 to 8.0 ETH in February 2021, but the packet supplies no current ask, no current best bid, no OTC activity, no candidate benchmark set, and no grail flag. The final value is set above the liquidity-only view because early XCOPY 1/1s were substantially repriced after the 2021 sale and neighboring early-2019 works include materially higher later clears. It is kept below the most optimistic comparable/cycle appraisals because Deathwave itself has no post-2021 execution or visible demand support and should not be mechanically mapped to stronger anchors such as Death by Algorithm, When Airdrop?, Afterglow, Utopia, Don't Panic, or Some Other Asshole. A 55 ETH fair value with a 34-82 ETH fair bid/ask range balances scarce early authorship and title salience against thin executable liquidity.

What Caps The Price

The 72-85 ETH appraiser marks rely heavily on broader early-XCOPY repricing and adjacent higher sales. Those are relevant, but Deathwave has no live bid/ask, no OTC record, no supplied candidate peers, no grail designation, and no recent exact-token sale. A higher final mark would over-transfer demand from better-proven or more culturally legible neighboring works.

What Supports The Price

The 8 ETH last sale is stale, from 2021-02-13, and the 1 ETH 2019 primary is purely historical. Valuing near the liquidity-only 32 ETH view would underweight early SuperRare XCOPY scarcity, clean one-of-one provenance, the death/dystopia title fit, and the later-cycle evidence that comparable-era XCOPY 1/1s can clear well above their early sale bases.
