Today's Rare Pepe Set Lesson™️ is what I'm calling the "church set" for its use of stained glass, brick walls and religious source paintings. It consists of three Series 5 cards: Card 48 - FAIRPEPE, Card 49 - TRAITORPEPE, and Card 50 - FATHERPEPE.

FAIRPEPE and TRAITORPEPE are both 1/2,000 cards and FATHERPEPE is 1/200. Only 4 wallets hold the full set.

20 wallets hold a copy of FAIRPEPE with the creator's wallet holding 98.95% of the total supply (1,979/2,000). This card has a current floor price of .35 BTC ($22,411 USD).

11 wallets hold a copy of TRAITORPEPE with the creator's wallet holding 99.2% of the total supply (1,984/2,000). There are none for sale as of the time of this writing. The last sale occurred on 09 June 2017 for $9.00 USD.

5 wallets hold a copy of FATHERPEPE with the creator's wallet holding 98% of the total supply (196/200). There are none for sale as of the time of this writing. The last sale occurred on 21 May 2017 for $49.00 USD.

The last transaction performed by the creator's wallet was 5 years ago (13 Sept. 2021).

The source image used for FAIRPEPE is a widely used unattributed 19th/20th century devotional Sacred Heart Print that is based off of the painting Sacred Heart of Jesus painted by Italian artist Pompeo Batoni in 1767.

The source image used for TRAITORPEPE is another unattributed image. This one depicts the Apostle Judas Iscariot with the thirty pieces of silver for which he agreed to betray Jesus.

The source image used for FATHERPEPE is the painting
God the Father and the Holy Spirit also by Pompeo Batoni which was painted between 1740 and 1743.

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 3, Card 12 - PTSDPEPE. The creator of the card is unknown.

This is a 1/100 card with none for sale as of the time of this writing. The last sale occurred on 19 March 2024 for $1,260 USD.

Only 12 wallets hold a copy of this card and the creators wallet has 89% of the total supply (89/100). The last transaction made from that wallet was 5 years ago.

The photograph used for the card was taken in the autumn of 1915 and shows soldiers in the trenches on the southern section of Gallipoli Peninsula during World War I. The men belong to the Royal Irish Fusiliers.

The image was tinted red which is a metaphor for all the blood that was spilled during this and all other wars. Or it could be to reflect the hellish landscape that these men found themselves in.

A green Pepe was overlayed on the photo which reminds me of early GAN outputs. Whatever method the artist used, I believe the intent was to show Pepe as deeply troubled and saddened by war.

There is no direct quote "I left for Vietnam as a man... I came back as a monster..." However former U.S. Navy lieutenant and decorated Vietnam veteran testified in 1971 that America had "created a monster" in the form of veterans trained in violence who returned angry and betrayed.

The card statstics include 1 bleeding or bloody heart, a huge weapons number (2 to the 69th power), and 100% sadness.

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 7, Card 44 - SHREMPEPE by @shawnleary. This is a 1/10,000 card with a circulating supply of 1,133 after 8,867 were sent to the burn address
1BurnPepexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAK33R in October of 2021.

The current floor price is .001 BTC ($62 USD).

103 wallets hold a copy of the card and Shawn is the largest holder with 22.2% of the total circulating supply (252/1,133).

A collector was trying to sell me one of these today which prompted me to go look at it. I then discovered that there is a signed sub-asset meaning the person being parodied on the card has seen it. I went to the official Rare Pepe Telegram chat to find out more about it.

SHREMPEPE is composed of Charlie Shrem's face superimposed over what I believe to be a cotton-top tamarin, a small New World monkey. Both images were then tinted pepe green. The background is that of the company Shrem founded, the now-defunct BitInstant.

The text on the card makes reference to the fact that Shrem was one of the earliest Bitcoiners (investing as a college senior in 2011), is in fact a very hairy individual, went to prison for aiding and abetting the operation of an unlicensed money-transmitting business related to the Silk Road and that the Winklevoss twins invested in Bitinstant.

In talking with Shawn today, I learned that after Shrem got out of prison he collaborated with him a bit on the making of this card. Charlie's only request was to "make it the hairiest pepe ever created". In my opinion Shawn nailed it!
