GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, April 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire – A special collection of digital collectibles featuring never-before-seen images and memories of the late Leonard Nimoy were made available to this celebrated actor’s fans on March 25, 2021, through WAX Blockchain, with the collection selling out in an incredible five minutes!

Nimoy’s untimely passing was due to complications related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This cause is near and dear to the hearts of Nimoy’s daughter, Julie, and her husband, David Knight.

“My husband, David, and I are thrilled — five minutes!” Julie Knight said. “We want to thank everyone for honoring Leonard’s memory and legacy and for supporting his wish to create awareness for lung disease and prevention.”

The Knightses’ commitment to continuing Nimoy’s message and contributing to his cause led them to WAX Blockchain, and a portion of the proceeds from sales of the late actor’s memorabilia will go toward fighting COPD. 

Intimate photographs from Nimoy’s family life and career were made available to the legendary actor’s fans. These photographs are in the form of digital collectibles, called NFTs, and went on sale March 25, 2021, at noon EST. The Mega Packs sold out in two minutes and the Standard Packs sold out in five minutes.
