Appraisal methodology
The appraisal methodology used was different depending on their type.
- Multi-edition pieces (identical pieces minted as a series)
The appraisal method is based on a weighted average that gives higher importance to recent sales, similar to Exponential Moving Average.
- Collection pieces (unique pieces part of a larger collection)
Appraisal based on a weighted average giving higher importance to recent sales, similar to Exponential Moving Average, incorporating the relative value of traits.
- Unique pieces (both commercial and commissioned)
Unique pieces pose specific challenges when it comes to appraisal as relevant data points are often missing. As a consequence, qualitative elements were included to supplement/confirm the limited quantitative data available.
The following methods were used:
- Weighted average of past 1/1 sales (thesarahshow, Fvckrender, Oseanworld, slimesunday)
- Comparison of past 1/1 + multi-edition sales with October 2021 sales (x0r)
- Recent individual sales, historical significance, artists’ prestige and quality of collaboration (Steve Aoki, 3LAU)
Note:
Insufficient data or information was found on Shi_Zheng’s “Hovering at the Convergence of Entrances and Exits” and on Jerry Noun to perform an appraisal.
As a result, original purchase amounts have been maintained for performance calculations.

Other noteworthy observations
- Some pieces from the same collection showed great performance diversity. This is visible within the Rocket Factory project, with the Brian Nose Cone’s value rising by 33% only, vs. 210% for the Trojan Nose Cone.
- Both CyberKongz pieces’ value increased significantly, although with a much stronger performance for CyberKongz pieces over CyberKongVX.
- A large majority of the gains come from 2 projects (Bore Apes and Crypto Punks) and only 6 pieces.
Conclusion : Total Portfolio Performance
- A large majority of pieces of Jenny DAO’s portfolio gained value since their purchase.
- Only 1 piece (Fortune Magazine cover — Aspiring Chad) lost almost half of its value, but since the initial investment for it was relatively low, the impact on the overall portfolio’s value is very limited.
- The great performance of 2 iconic projects (Bore Apes and Crypto Punks), whose value is relatively high compared to other pieces, has a very positive impact on the total portfolio performance growth.
- Total performance growth as of Nov. 5, 2021:
- +74.8% (including ETH growth over that same period)
- +41.4% (excluding ETH growth over that same period)
