In 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have been extremely popular and have become a billion-dollar industry this year. There’s been a number of NFT marketplaces and collections that have seen a massive number of sales and individual digital collectibles have sold for millions. The NFT hype has also caused significant demand for some of the earliest known NFT collections like Spells of Genesis cards, Curio cards, Bitcorn, Rare Pepe trading cards, and even Fake Rares.
Old collections of non-fungible tokens See the new request
Older collections of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are seeing new demand after the NFT hype exploded in 2021. Most people are unaware that NFTs have been around since around 2014, when someone created an NFT called OLGA .
Following the creation of OLGA, the next year saw the birth of Spells of Genesis (SoG), Terra Nullius V2, Etheria v1.1, and Etheria v1.2. Since the 2021 NFT hype, SoG cards sell for a lot more than they did when the cards first launched.
SoG cards sell for a few hundred dollars to over $ 2,000 per card. NFTs from Terra Nullius V2 have a floor price of 0.04 ether or $ 150 in USD value on the NFT Opensea market.
People can still buy Etheria world NFTs via the Etheria exchange but a minimum bid is 0.1 ETH or $385 per unit. Sarutobi Island NFTs crafted in 2016 have seen fresh demand and have a floor price of around 0.03 ETH or $115.
Likewise, NFTs such as Force of Will, Rare Pepes, Age of Chains, Pixel Map and Bitgirls sell much more than in 2016. For example, NFT Pixelmap sells for a floor price of 0.75 ETH or more. .
Rare Pepes, Curio Cards, Cryptopunks, Axies, and Crypto Kitties
The entire collection of 1,774 Rare Pepe NFTs currently have an overall market capitalization of around $4.1 billion today. Vaulted Rare Pepes are selling for big money on Opensea and also selling for counterparty (XCP) via the XCP decentralized exchange (dex) and dispenser sales.
The popular My Curio cards of 2017, have a floor price on Opensea at 0.299 ETH or $ 1,151. Some Curio cards are also auctioned for a value of 1 to 2 ETH. The same can be said for the old NFT 2017 collections and the Cryptopunks released that year were the most requested.
The Cryptopunks floor price for a single digital collectible is not cheap as dappradar.com stats show it’s $235.43K today, however, the average price is around $119.75K per punk. The 2017 series of Cryptopunks has seen $2.32 billion in all-time sales.
Other popular NFT collections in the 2017 series include Diecast Club Collection, My Blockchain Corner, Digital Zones, Mooncatrescue, Dada Creeps & Weirdos, Crypto Kitties, Weicards, and Ether Rocks. These collections are also experiencing much higher values and new demand from NFT investors.
Crypto Kitties were so popular during the first week of December 2017, the project congested the Ethereum blockchain and the project’s NFTs still have demand from collectors. Despite a lot of attention in 2021 and a myriad of NFT collections launched this year, 2018 also saw significant progress toward the current NFT ecosystem we know today.
NFTs from the 2018 collections also come at a high price, like NFT collections such as Ethertulips, Crypto Fighters, Angel Battles, and Etherlambos. Non-fungible Axie Infinity tokens were also launched in 2018 and NFT Axie saw much higher demand in 2021.
Old school projects such as Pixelcons, Crypto Graphics, Realms of Ether, Cryptocats, and many other collections are seeing sales they may not have seen if it wasn’t for the exponential growth of the NFT industry. In fact, old school NFTs from collections minted long ago are becoming sought after for their rarity and age.
