Jediwolf recounts the story of artist DanDarkPill and his early 2016 'Rare Pepe History of Art Series'.
Originally intended to be 24 Rare Pepe cards, it was abbreviated at 7, each seeing 7-14 copies sold. With only 4 known full sets in existence, one previously sold for $1.2M!
Now for the twist.
Via Jediwolf:
"And then all of a sudden 9 years after the original distribution Dan is quietly releasing another 20 pieces of each edition from his wallet."
In recent days we have seen collectors including Jediwolf and just yesterday punk4940 (acquired for 10.419 ETH total) complete Series sets.
Jediwolf sums up the situation:
"Right now each card is held by around 25–30 collectors. Dan still holds the majority of the cards since the original distribution. I have no idea what the future will bring - I’m just happy to be part of this story."
'Supremon 151' by 8th Project mints out a Pokemon inspired 151 artwork collection for 0.019 ETH each.
It rockets post-mint, seeing 53.61 ETH in total volume, with a current lowest list of 0.95 ETH.
Via Pranksy:
"...Supremon has unexpectedly captured my attention this morning.
My mind has been away from JPEGs lately, with my kids growing up and gaining a love of Pokemon I have dived back into collecting cards, watching the anime (official film rankings to come) and playing games like Pokemon Go."

There's a Springtime energy in the air, isn't there?
Many new mints are meeting the surge head-on early this week, and they're entering a supercharged atmosphere.
One of the most interesting aspects of all this is activity in the 0.1 - 0.25 ETH range. This is not always the case, and we've seen plenty of surges that reached the "top" only. I'm trying to pull one from this range into the report each day in the below "Under Threshold" section.
Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of 3 ETH+ Collection, 0.3 ETH+ 1/1, 0.9 ETH+ 1/1/X, and 0.3 ETH+ Edition
Under Threshold...
...but interesting to me is 'Instruction 00: Let Go' by Mind Mechanic selling for 0.125 ETH to doddfranko via SuperRare.
