Revered Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is the latest sports star teaming up with Autograph to release an NFT collection, Forbes reported on August 30.

Forbes, which conducted an exclusive interview with Biles, reported that the collection will include more than 10,000 NFTs with prices starting at $12.

Biles will also become part of Autograph's advisory board, Forbes said, joining other athletes like Wayne Gretzky, Naomi Osaka and Tony Hawk.

Autograph has already listed 5,000 editions of the Simone Biles Carbon Premier on its website, priced at $12. The preseason access pass allows holders "VIP" access to the drop, as well as Autograph's private Discord community. Fans can purchase the passes through DraftKings Marketplace, which drop at 3:00 p.m. on August 31.

Los Angeles-based Autograph was co-founded by football star Tom Brady, whose five Premier Preseason Access Collection drops immediately sold out.
