Juliens Auction has concluded its Street Culture auction, realizing a total of $160,905^[1] with 121 of 131 lots sold, representing a 92.4% sell-through^[1] rate. Juliens Auction is the official results source for the sale, which was presented as part of a multi-day series of online-only auctions offering items at the intersection of sports, music, fashion, and design. The wider event featured personally-owned pieces from Tony Hawk and Juice WRLD, including performance-worn items and skateboards used during Hawk's professional career.

The auction featured a Zero brand skateboard deck ridden by Jamie Thomas and signed by Bob Dylan, who hand-wrote lyrics from "Blowin' in the Wind" on the deck, which was accompanied by a Tony Hawk Foundation black velvet carry bag. This deck, which was customized with decals promoting Thomas's footwear brand, Fallen, was sourced from Tony Hawk's "Boards + Bands" Charity Auction and was previously noted as the most valuable skateboard ever to appear at auction. Additionally, the sale presented a David Hockney etching and aquatint print titled "Panama Hat", which was signed, dated, and numbered from a limited edition, with provenance from the David Stuart Galleries in Los Angeles. Another major artwork in the catalog was a Banksy painting on a painted faux-brick panel, which was first exhibited in the outer courtyard of the Cargo Club in London next to a mural of two wind-up policemen beating a man. Images of this Banksy artwork, captured by the artist's manager Steve Lazarides, were published in the book "Banksy Captured" before the piece was later exhibited at the Vanina Holasek Gallery in New York City and at the Doge's Palace in Genoa, Italy.
