Now is the best time to get into Historical NFTs
As a newcomer, you're accessing artifacts that have been proven to be significant and desired by collectors
And you're able to enter the market at reasonable prices, down from the highs of 2021
There was no art collection on Ethereum until 2017 β the year Curio Cards launched its art show, six weeks before CryptoPunks
People didn't even call them NFTs until CryptoKitties, later that year
NFTs changed the world.
Digital art was never the same.
The first examples of this revolutionary breakthrough have been well documented.
Not just on-chain.
In books, museums, media, communities.
All around the world.
These are the artifacts of our new culture.
Historical NFTs.
The Barbarian was the first of artist Robek World's Curio Cards to mint out.
A rare grail from 2017, the supply was originally 250 β half of the other two cards in the set.
Robek viewed it as his "holographic rare" and had planned a more detailed animation, but eventually settled on a two-frame GIF, due to practical limitations of the early NFT ecosystem.
In 25 years from now, which NFTs will people still be collecting?
The first and earliest examples of any movement or culture in history are always highly sought-after
Although Curio Cards didn't mint out in 2017, there was a rush to collect them all in 2021, when NFT collectors went in search of the first projects on Ethereum.
Sometimes it takes four years of patience and sticking around, until the world finally catches up to your vision.
It's easy to get lost in the sea of NFTs.
Collect what you love:
Art that has meaning.
Projects with great communities.
Grails that are treasured.
Innovation that made a difference.
Lore that's endless.
That's how you find the NFTs worth keeping.
NFTs have told stories since the beginning.
Our first ten cards, launched on Ethereum, May 9, 2017, contain a story created by co-founder Mad Bitcoins and early Bitcoin artist phneep.
Only 438 of this entire set will ever be collectible.
Art brings people together.
It's why NFTs got so big.
Artists can communicate ideas in ways that resonate immediately.
Curio Cards understood that in 2017:
Make art collectible through crypto and spread the word about crypto through art.
NFTs make it possible.
