Scaramanga Silk is a London-born, British music producer, DJ, VJ, and author.
Scaramanga Silk has produced singles, EPs and remixes for Micro Spiral Records, Kin Aesthetic Recordings and Adventures in Dubbing. [1] He has also created a number of his own recordings. Silk's work falls into a number of musical genres, including, "breakbeat, electro, ambient, experimental, and techno". [2]
In 2021, a single by Silk, called Choose Your Weapon, sold for a record-breaking £30,000 ($41,095) on record collectors' website, Discogs. [3] It is the site's biggest recorded sale; all the more remarkable as Silk was a relatively unknown artist at the time of the sale.
Discogs was rather perplexed by the sale, and remarked, "By several accounts, the release drew attention from collectors shortly after it dropped [in 2008] when it sold on eBay for $654. How that price tag sky-rocketed to over $40,000 remains a mystery.” [4] Silk was also somewhat puzzled by the record-breaking sale, when he said, “It is very difficult to understand why the release went for that kind of money, as I do not believe that any record is worthy of such a valuation. The individual who made the purchase must have had some kind of special connection to the work too … It means a lot that Choose Your Weapon is so special to somebody.” [5]

The T206 Honus Wagner baseball card depicts the Pittsburgh Pirates' Honus Wagner, known as "The Flying Dutchman,” a dead-ball era baseball player who is widely considered to be one of the best players of all time. The card was designed and issued by the American Tobacco Company (ATC) from 1909 to 1911 as part of its T206 series. Wagner refused to allow production of his baseball card to continue, either because he did not want children to buy cigarette packs to get his card, or because he wanted more compensation from the ATC. The ATC ended production of the Wagner card, and a total of only 50 to 200 cards were ever distributed to the public, as compared to the "tens or hundreds of thousands" of T206 cards, over three years in sixteen brands of cigarettes, for any other player. In 1933, the card was first listed at a price value of US$50 in Jefferson Burdick's The American Card Catalog, making it the most expensive baseball card in the world at the time.
