Found my original Rare Pepe sketch book! Thought it was lost in a previous house move. Let’s kick things off with the original sketch for the 2016 KEKET #rarepepe

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 22, Card 47 - PEPESOURCE by @ScrillaVentura. This is a 1/111 card with none for sale as of the time of this writing. The last sale occurred on August 9, 2025 for $201 USD. 48 wallets hold a copy of this card. Scrilla is the largest holder with 42.34% of the total supply (47/111). This card is a direct parody of The Source’s March 2004 cover (Issue No. 174). Scrilla replaced 10 mug shots of hip-hop artists with 10 hip-hop themed Rare Pepe cards. Thus his version is "Hip-Hop Pepes Behind Bars". The tag line has been changed from "The Magazine of Hip-Hop Music, Culture & Politics" to "The Magazine of Hip-Hop Music, Pepes & Politricks". The question posed by The Source (Are Rappers the New Target of America's Criminal Justice System) has been changed to "RAREPEPES". The date above the barcode has been changed from March 2004 to July 2017 (the month and date the token was minted) and the price in USD and CAN to XCP & PCASH (the De Facto currencies of the Counterparty ecosystem). The artists on the original cover are: Shyne, Suge Knight, C-Murder, Shyheim, Chi-Ali, J-Dee, Steady B, Mysonne, Mystikal, and Pimp C. The Rare Pepe cards included on the cover are: PEPEMILLION (Scrilla), MOBBPEPE (@wasthatawolf) PEPEGOAT (Scrilla), BIGGIEPEPE (@shawnleary) PEPEMANE (Cache Money), STILLPEPE (wasthatawolf), PWAPWAPWAPWA (Scrilla), PEPETANGCLAN (Scrilla), EAZYP (@bettidlomas), and LEANPEPE (ICQPEPE) Cards mentioned at the bottom of the cover are: BOYZIIPEPE (Scrilla), PEPECENT (@EverydayEarth), RUNDMP (Scrilla), and RARESLIMPEPE (unknown).

Today's Rare Pepe Set Lesson™️ is the gorgeous "old" triptych by @bettidlomas. Included are Series 13, Card 29 - PEPEOLDCHAP, Series 25, Card 13 - PEPEOLDTRADE, and Series 26, Card 23 - PEPEOLD CASH. Each of these is a 1/100 card and there is no current floor price for the set because there are no PEPEOLDTRADE for sale. A PEPEOLDCASH can be had for .0995 BTC ($7,068) and a PEPEOLDCHAP will set you back $24,000. Holder count on these ranges from 35 (PEPEOLDTRADE) to 62 (PEPEOLDCHAP). There are only 21 wallets (including Mr. Hansel) that hold the full set of 3. These three cards tell a story, and this is my version of it: Mr. Pepe carved and painted a beautiful Pepe marionette. He then photographed his prized possession and traded copies of the photo for PEPECASH. Mr. Pepe became so good at this practice that he became a PEPECASH Millionaire and gained Alpha status.

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is WANKSYPEPE by @EverydayEarth. This is a 1/1,000 card with a current floor price of .0087 BTC ($18 USD). 236 wallets hold a copy of this card and the largest holder controls 25% of the total supply (250/1,000). This card is a parody of a 2010 street art piece titled "Follow Your Dreams (Cancelled)" by the pseudonymous England-based artist, activist, and film director Banksy. The original is located on Essex Street in the Chinatown area of Boston in the United States. Here, OE has changed "Dreams" to "Pepes" and added in a respirator-faced Pepe with a couple spray cans to depict what a typical graffiti artist might look like in action. His mention of McDonalds and Disney speaks to mass consumerism and sanitized entertainment. The opposite of what Pepe and Banksy represent.

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 9, Card 1 - SNOWDENPEPE by @rarepepenews. This is a 1/40,320 card with a current floor price of .000055 BTC ($4 USD). 293 wallets hold a copy of the card with RPN holding 67.5% of the total supply (27,216/40,320). The person pictured on the card is Edward Snowden, the former NSA intelligence contractor and whistleblower who leaked classified documents revealing the existence of global surveillance programs in 2013. In the background we can see a waiving American flag as well as a dossier page on Snowden from Moscow, Russa (where he's been living since 2013, and became a citizen of in 2022). Also pictured is a Rubik's Cube because in the 2013 documentary Citizenfour, Snowden revealed he had been practicing solving a Rubik’s Cube while working at the NSA. RPN made the mint number of this card what it is because there are 40,320 possible arrangements of the eight corner pieces.

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 23, Card 2 - RICKYPEPE by @EverydayEarth. This is a 1/500 card with a current floor price of .0014 BTC ($98.50 USD). There are 102 wallets holding a copy and the creator still holds 59.2% of the total supply (296/500). The artist turned the still image from the movie poster for Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby into a GIF, pepefied Will Farrell, and changed the name of most of the sponsor patches on his racing suit to "pepe". For example, "Powerade" became "Pepeaid", "Wonder" became "Wonpepe" and "Dennit" became "PePe". Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is a 2006 American sports comedy-drama film directed by Adam McKay who co-wrote the film with Will Ferrell which follows the rise and fall of Ricky Bobby, an immature yet successful NASCAR driver. The film also features John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen, Gary Cole, Michael Clarke Duncan, Leslie Bibb, Jane Lynch, and Amy Adams in supporting roles.

Today I celebrate 150 days of Rare Pepe Lore Lessons! I started this little project on September 12, 2025 and haven't missed a day yet. Thus far, I've presented lore for 144 individual cards and 6 sets for a total of 218 cards which feature over 50 artists. Support the lore: I’ve opened two lore-specific card dispensers. 100% of proceeds are reinvested into growing my Rare Pepe collection and research. 🐸💚 LORELESSON Dispenser: tokenscan.io/tx/14a81e112c20… RAREPEPELORE Dispenser: tokenscan.io/tx/78c7b3e4ba16…

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 5, Card 29 LITTLEBOPEPE. The creator of the card is @EverydayEarth. This is a 1/600 card with a current floor price of .0016 BTC ($145 USD). 130 wallets hold a copy of the card with the top holder controlling 33.33% of the total supply (200/600). The GIF on the card was taken from two different sources. The first was from Season 1 Episode 6 of the British Television sitcom "Black Books" that aired from 2000 to 2004. The episode is entitled "He's Leaving Home" and at the 18:45 mark, the character Manny who was played by English actor, comedian, and musician Bill Bailey was dressed as Little Bo-Peep for a photoshoot. The second part of the GIF was of a viral video from 2012 of a sheep pushing a fisherman into a lake. OE added Pepe's face to both the sheep (or shepe as OE wrote it) and Bo-Peep.

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 5, Card 6 - PEPEDUCREUX. The creator of the card is @EverydayEarth. This is a 1/1,000 card with a current floor price of .00022 BTC ($20 USD). 150 wallets hold a copy of this card with the largest controlling 30.8% of the total supply (308/1,000). The card is a parody of a 1793 painting entitled "Portrait de l'artiste sous les traits d'un moqueur" by Joseph Ducreux. The painting is one of several self-portraits of the artist. The text displayed in the PEPEDUCREUX GIF is a parody of the lyrics of the song Boyz-n-the-Hood by Eazy-E. OE translated the original lyrics "Crusin' down the street in my 6-4. Jockin' the freaks, clockin' the dough" into "Traversing down the boulevard in my 1764. Sequestering damsels, reprimanding Apostates."

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 8, Card 45 - BERNIEPEPE. The card was minted by @rarepepenews with commissioned art by @EverydayEarth. This is a 1/1,889 card with a current floor price of .000813 BTC ($69 USD) (nice). 237 wallets hold a copy of this card with the largest one holding 63.42% of the total supply (1,198/1,889). The man pictured on the card is the American politician and activist Bernie Sanders. On the left is the line drawing by OE and his finished version. The text on the card is a parody of a talking point that Sanders used several times while campaigning to become the President of the United States including on July 1, 2015 in Madison Wisconsin. The bird on the podium pays tribute to the actual bird that landed on the podium while Bernie was giving a speech in Portland Oregon during the 2016 presidential campaign. The internet named the bird "Birdie Sanders" and it became a wide-spread meme. RarePepeTrader said that he issued 1,889 BERNIEPEPE cards because that was the number of delegates he won at the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries, however according to one article I read, the actual number was 1,865. Another one puts the number at 1,893 so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Rare Pepe is punk. It was never meant to be “mainstream” or for “mass adoption”. Send it to zero and keep it for the ones who truly love it. #RarePepe #Dank #Rare
