Foil Rare ‘Super Shower’ KOG with Blood Orange Border #13
A few days before the sale of 1st Edition KOGs on WAX NFTs, this collectors’ guide went live. But the world had no way of knowing actual figures until after the 3-hour sales window closed forever.
In other words, this series dives deeper into specific KOGs details. And by the time it’s over, we’ll have examined 112 different non-fungible tokens.
But instead of making an enormous post that makes you scroll down a squillion times, this series divides the entire collection into nine distinct sets.
KOGs Starter Packs contain 25 KOGs, and Booster Packs include 6?—?both are (maybe) still selling on AtomicHub. With a total of 6622 and 6183 respective packs sold or reserved for giveaways, only 202, 648 1st Edition KOGs NFTs will ever exist.
Now that packs are tearing open?—?62% so far?—?and NFTs are minting to the WAX Blockchain, the secondary market is taking shape.
Amassing 1 of all 3,414 1st Edition KOGs is a challenge for even the most active collectors! How will you even know what piques your interest without a first-hand look?
Well, you’re in luck because this 9-part series can help you out.
Part 1: 1st Edition Slammers
Part 2: Staff Collection
Part 3: 8-Bit Collection
Part 4: Space Military Collection
Triple-Decade Rewind
A typical ’90s night-in meant a trip to Blockbuster Video while listening to some grunge or gangsta rap in your car’s cassette player. Better rewind that VHS so as not to get slapped with a fee!
You might be sporting a dark long-sleeve flannel shirt, or maybe Kris Kross convinced you it’s cool to wear your clothes backward.
Ten designs in the KOGs 90s set equates to one per year of the decade that birthed some of the world’s most iconic video game series, including Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Kart, and Tekken.
Do you see the K theme at play in all those game titles? Is that just a koincidence? Probably knot!

The Pineapple and Cerulean Sky fans might say I rigged the drawing, but I can assure you it was 100% fair.

Wrapping Up
The ’90s were an exciting decade, and it’s fun to reminisce about good times spent with good people. Some are still in your life, while others are long gone. But the memory remains!
The upcoming KOGs games will see players pit their NFTs against one another in phone-to-phone tournaments. The KOGs roadmap is here, and a lot is going on over the next six to seven months.
Yes, the ’90s were fabulous, but the ’80s were a different animal. And for now, I urge you to chill until the next episode?—?we’ll kick it off with KOG #51 from the ‘80s’ set.
See you back here soon when we rewind the tape even further!
