BAYC and MAYC Grails Snapped Up by Whale Collector
Prominent NFT whale collector Adam Weitsman has made headlines by purchasing a legendary BAYC and MAYC full set for a combined 365.625 ETH (approximately $1.25 million USD). The acquisition includes BAYC #8824 and two Mutant Ape Yacht Club pieces — MAYC #27648 and #27649 — listed under the name Gold_Spacesuit_set.
BAYC #8824: More Than Just a Grail Ape
BAYC #8824 is no ordinary blue-chip NFT. This iconic Ape was once a member of Kingship, the NFT band created by Universal Music Group (UMG). In 2022, Kingship made waves with a Roblox virtual concert and a high-profile M&M’s collaboration — cementing its place in NFT and pop culture history. Although the band has since disbanded, the historical significance of this Ape elevates the full Ape + Mutant set from a simple gold fur piece to a truly iconic, story-driven collectible.
