In trad art there’s a strong narrative around secondary sales. 

In web3, primary market sales seems to drive the narrative. It seems like the market is always looking ahead. And the secondary market, especially for 1/1s is less active. 

I think that’ll change and more folks will prioritize looking backwards when collecting, opposed to what’s current.

i agree unfortunately. i think it got even worse after the whole royalties argument and the realization there is not at the moment that be done to enforce the royalties. i also think artist had come to jesus moment and realized that they were not going to make a living on royalties. that was always a pipe dream!! some can but most cant! i agree with you as well that this will change. i always try to collect older works on secondary for this purpose and its usually cheaper bonus!! see i am not all full of shit.
