<figure><img src="/files/XI5QzSGXfuO2uSfr0ym9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 1 -** [**RAREPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/RAREPEPE) is the card that started it all. The anonymous artist that goes only by "[Mike](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Mike)" posted a link to this asset on the Counterparty platform on September 9, 2016 with little explanation. He was also the first and only "Rare Pepe Scientist" for cards 1 - 1,000. The image is a parody of Dorian Nakamoto who was falsely identified as the real Satoshi Nakamoto in a [high-profile article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto) in the US magazine "Newsweek" on March 6, 2014.

## Series 1, Card 2 - GOXPEPE

![](/files/vxRKm3bQrxiNxC3dbYSK)

**Series 1, Card 2 -** [**GOXPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/GOXPEPE) was created by "Mike" the same person who started the whole Rare Pepe project when he released the above RAREPEPE card. He also created [SHITCOINCARD](https://pepe.wtf/asset/SHITCOINCARD), [TRUMPRARE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/TRUMPRARE), [PEPECASH](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPECASH), and [UFOPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/UFOPEPE). Mike was also the first Rare Pepe Scientist. He took on the responsibility of examining each card submission and approving the very best for inclusion in the Rare Pepe Directory. The person pictured on the card is [Mark Karpelès](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Karpel%C3%A8s) who was the former CEO of the Bitcoin exchange Mt. GOX. Karpelès was [arrested](https://www.ndtv.com/business/former-ceo-of-collapsed-mt-gox-bitcoin-exchange-arrested-in-japan-report-1202733) in Japan in 2015 for allegations of fraud that led to the collapes of [Mt. Gox.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox)

<figure><img src="/files/tGgmcuOhFHWBCNNznZ8T" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 3** - [SHITCOINCARD](https://pepe.wtf/asset/SHITCOINCARD) was created by the man that started the Rare Pepe project - [Mike](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Mike). Not much is known about Mike except that he created a total of 6 cards for the Rare Pepe project and was the first Rare Pepe Scientist. To Bitcoin maximalists, every other project is considered a "shitcoin." In this card, Mike takes a jab at people who bought or traded them and called out [Litecoin](https://litecoin.com/en/), [Maza](https://www.mazacoin.org/), and [NuBits](https://nubits.com/) specifically.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 4 - PEPENATION

![](/files/T0Rh3O1HLp0GVr9Y09L7)

<figure><img src="/files/mNhbUhUp6JgEdZC6yn3X" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Series 1, Card 6 - TRUMPRARE

<figure><img src="/files/8ffkAOXdvq3XCnXLOVJe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 6** - [TRUMPRARE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/TRUMPRARE) was created by a man known only as [Mike](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Mike). Not only did Mike create this card, but he started the whole Rare Pepe project when he released the iconic [RAREPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/RAREPEPE) card and became the first Rare Pepe Scientist. The card is a parody of the 45th [President of the United States of America](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States) - [Donald J. Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump). The text on the card make reference to Mr. Trumps campaign promise to [build a wall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_wall) at the United States and Mexico border, his love of winning, making business deals, and his daughter [Ivanka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanka_Trump).&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 7 - PEPEPARTY

![](/files/rSxAuWge7Y4Yh4tI9BY2)

**Series 1, Card 7 -** [**PEPEPARTY**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPEPARTY) was another masterpiece created by Joe Looney (see [STILLPEPE](#series-1-card-10-stillpepe) for further information about Joe). The card depicts three [Counterparty](https://counterparty.io/) developers - [Evan Wagner](https://counterparty.io/team/evan-wagner/) (Top Left), [Robby Dermody](https://counterparty.io/team/robby-dermody/)[ ](https://counterparty.io/team/matt-young/)(Top Right), and [Adam Krellenstein](https://counterparty.io/team/adam-krellenstein/) (Bottom). Bitcoin maximalists get angry at Counterparty users for trading Rare Pepes and other assets on "their" blockchain. Thus Joe's tongue-in-cheek "Spamming the block chain since January 2014" comment. In reality, they should be thanking Counterparty users. They gave Bitcoin one of it's first true use cases.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 8 - KEISERPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/98D2lqgRbKu1FgplLXcu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/w5yuNMQSZ6LjKDLogHB6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 11** - [PEPECASH](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPECASH) was created by [Mike. ](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Mike)Not only was PEPECASH a Series 1 card, it quickly became the de facto currency of Rare Pepe card buyers and sellers. In late 2017 PEPECASH received the same categorization as Bitcoin as a “first class” cryptocurrency in Japan, and [one of only 17 digital tokens](https://www.techinasia.com/japan-approved-crypto-exchanges) that could be legally be traded at the time.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 12 - LOVEPEPETATO

<figure><img src="/files/vwqtYQ4e8JBiW5m6bKL9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The subject of this card is the President of Venezuela [Nicolás Maduro Moros](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicol%C3%A1s_Maduro) in front of some of the [many slums](https://migrazioniontheroad.largemovements.it/petare-venezuela-slum/) in the country.

## Series 1, Card 14 - GURUPEPE

![](/files/bfalWCDVYf5smlopDze7)

**Series 1, Card 14 -** [**GURUPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/GURUPEPE) was created by artist, auctioneer extraordinaire, and all around good guy [Theo Goodman](https://twitter.com/theog__). He also created the Series 1 cards [PEPENATION](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPENATION), [KEISERPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/KEISERPEPE), [HYIPPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/HYIPPEPE), and [PONZIPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PONZIPEPE) along with several other great cards such as [EGGPLANTPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/EGGPLANTPEPE) and [GROYPERMONKY](https://pepe.wtf/asset/GROYPERMONKY).

The man pictured on the card is [Vinay Gupta](https://medium.com/@leashless), Co-Founder of Ethereum. As Theo put it, "he calls himself a GURU. He says a lot of random shit that "sounds smart" and sometimes has some good moments but also some like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/7d0pbn/how_do_you_feel_about_vinay_gupta_saying_that_all/). It's funny, he kind of just went out of the spotlight, after making mega-millions during the first bull run of ETH. He was a major part of the founding of ETH, but many people from this wave have no idea who he is. Sure, a big guy that has trouble walking, saying that he is going to break peoples bones because they are white and buddist, is a great style. WATCH OUT he comes from a linage of warriors! The main issue is I've never seen him laugh at himself once."

[Here](https://www.forbes.com/sites/rahulsingireddy/2017/10/18/vinay-gupta-on-why-ethereum-is-the-future/?sh=3e809c6856f2) is a lengthy article about him from Forbes. While researching the card, I asked the question "who is displayed in GURUPEPE?" to Theo, when Rare Pepe OG [Shawn Leary](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Shawn-Leary) jumped in with the answer. When I agreed with him, he followed up with one of the greatest one liners in Rare Pepe History: "I know I'm right. I'm a retired Rare Pepe Scientist." I should have known better than to question [Shawn](https://twitter.com/shawnleary)!&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 15 - HYIPPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/cjdvumT0d186ZeabvGon" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 15** - [HYIPPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/HYIPPEPE) was created by [Theo Goodman](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Theo-Goodman). Theo is a retired Rare Pepe scientist, artist, and auctioneer. He had this to say about HYIPPEPE and PONZIPEPE (animated version), "On HYIPPEPE and [PONZIPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PONZIPEPE) are the top ponzis of the time, including [ONECOIN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneCoin), [MMM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMM_\(Ponzi_scheme_company\)), [SWISSCOIN](https://news.bitcoin.com/dissecting-swisscoin-cryptocurrency-ponzi-horizon/) and the first telegram bot ponzi (I forgot the name, maybe just telegram robot) at the time all of these were making the rounds and had a major impact on the crypto landscape. MMM is older than bitcoin and had a crypto version that went wild in 2016."&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 16 - PEPETRATION

<figure><img src="/files/iyl7UJsxjKhFMyzuBbvQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 16** - [PEPETRATION](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPETRATION) was created by an [unknown artist](https://pepe.wtf/artists/1Nh6neRNUzHapiCthccuUVNoJHPSR3fCJD). This was their only submission to the Rare Pepe project. The artist drew a [wojak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojak) family celebrating the US holiday of [Thanksgiving](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving), replacing the traditional [turkey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_\(bird\)) with a Pepe and a the [turkey baster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basting_\(cooking\)) with a [green candle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlestick_chart). &#x20;

## Series 1, Card 17 - DARKPILLPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/LtQQl3T6SPAzjtb3jlqA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

He created a total of 26 cards for the Rare Pepe project. The main subject of the card is a green-tinted [Victor Joseph Espinoza](https://www.ocweekly.com/victor-joseph-espinoza-sick-vic-of-oc-scariest-people-fame-and-his-neck-draw-jail-time-for-grabbing-and-sniffing-10-yo-boy-6467303/), the Orange County California resident who was sentenced to 32 months in jail for grabbing a 10-year-old boy.&#x20;

**Series 1, Card 18** - [HAIRPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/HAIRPEPE) was created by [ayaLAN](https://twitter.com/ayaLAN), who sadly lost the keys to the wallet from which it was issued. This card is considered a "grail" by most in the Rare Pepe community due to its unique look. Yuki Himura, a Japanese comedian, inspires the image immortalized in this card. The text on the card references [Pantene](https://pantene.com/en-us) hair products and [Maybelline](https://www.maybelline.com/) makeup. The card is also highly sought after because it permits entry to one of the earliest art-based private Telegram rooms - "The Salon." A [Telegram bot](https://github.com/chiguireitor/telly-kickbot) scans your wallet for the card. If it is present, it grants you entry to the private room. If you ever move the card out of the wallet you used to gain entry (to sell it, for example), the bot would kick you out of the room during one of its frequent wallet scans.

## Series 1, Card 19 - LUCKYPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/gxL4tWJ5I0BcDy0n5yb9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 19** - [LUCKYPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/LUCKYPEPE) was created by the mysterious figure [DanDarkPill](https://pepe.wtf/artists/DanDarkPill). He created a total of 26 cards for the Rare Pepe project.&#x20;

The subject of this card is the [maneki-neko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneki-neko) or "beckoning cat," a common Japanese figurine which is believed to bring good luck to shop owners. The earliest records of *maneki-neko* appear in the Bukō nenpyō's (a chronology of [Edo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edo)) entry dated 1852. Because of its popularity in Chinese and Vietnamese communities (including [Chinatowns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown) in the United States), the *maneki-neko* is frequently mistaken for being Chinese in origin rather than Japanese, and is therefore sometimes referred to as a "Chinese lucky cat."

## Series 1, Card 20 - CHERPEPEFOIL

<figure><img src="/files/riItlEmW91r9PMWF6d4h" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 20** - [CHERPEPEFOIL](https://pepe.wtf/asset/CHERPEPEFOIL) was created by the late great [John Villar](https://pepe.wtf/artists/John-Villar). He may hold the record for most Rare Pepe cards in the project at 80. John created 50 cards specifically for the game [Rare Pepe Party](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfPkrAo25DM\&ab_channel=JohnVillar) which he was working on at the time of his passing and another 40 cards beyond that including what is probably the first interactive digital art token - [PEPEBALT](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPEBALT).

This card is a pepefied image of the American singer, actress and television personality [Cher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher). The card quotes a lyric from her song [Believe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Believe_\(Cher_song\))

<figure><img src="/files/UgDqur91j8UDCnIZW3KE" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 21** - [PEPEBROS](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPEBROS) was created by an [unknown artist](https://pepe.wtf/artists/1698Gs1WEs8pyvLoyYZWVqhbBGE5uYCmSL). They only created two cards for the Rare Pepe project. The other one being [MAGICPEPEYE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/MAGICPEPEYE).&#x20;

This card pays homage to the 1985 platform game developed by [Nintendo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo) for the [Nintendo Entertainment System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System) (NES) called [Super Mario Bros.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros.) It appears that the artist created his own scene from the game, or perhaps took a scene, increased the size until it was at a 1:1 pixel ratio and then added the sun with the face of a [Wojak](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wojak). &#x20;

## Series 1, Card 22 - DAOPEPEHACK

![](/files/vRmXHma9e29brZ3W70AK)

**Series 1, Card 22 -** [**DAOPEPEHACK**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/DAOPEPEHACK) was created by [Héctor Cárdenas](https://twitter.com/hcarpach).

The person depicted in the card is [Stephan Tual](https://www.crunchbase.com/person/stephan-tual), the CCO of the Ethereum Foundation at the time of the first major hack on any blockchain entitled the [DAO Hack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DAO_\(organization\)) which ultimately split the Ethereum community into two camps - those that believed the blockchain should be rolled back to the pre-hack state and those that did not. This resulted in the formation of ETC or [Ethereum Classic](https://ethereumclassic.org/). [Here](https://medium.com/decentralize-today/q-a-stephan-tual-former-cco-of-ethereum-and-founder-of-slock-it-the-dao-cf934fe28a4c) is an interview with Stephan that was done on Medium by [Ameer Rosic](https://medium.com/@ameerrosic).&#x20;

The card appears to be a simple tribute to the water pipe known as a [**Bong** ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong)that is commonly used for smoking tobacco and marijuana.&#x20;

ICQ created a total of 24 cards for the Rare Pepe series including the extremely rare 1 of 3 card [JONGPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/JONGPEPE), the classic [NOFAPPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/NOFAPPEPE), and what is probably the only artist "self portrait" in the series [ICQPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/ICQPEPE). The card depicts the creator of the crypto currency Dash - [Evan Duffield](https://www.worldcryptoindex.com/creators/evan-duffield/) and the image was taken from a [cointelegraph article](https://cointelegraph.com/news/dashs-2nd-birthday-we-are-complementary-to-bitcoin-not-a-competitor) discussing the second birthday of Dash.&#x20;

You can listen to ICQ talk about this and all his cards in the YouTube interview he did with [ZeroG](https://twitter.com/g0barry) below.

<figure><img src="/files/RQKWBNwIiMoHL8cB2h35" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 35 -** [**XOBLORTPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/XOBLORTPEPE) was created by the artist known as Horus according to **this article**. This card was done as a tribute to a user with the handle XOBLORT who was an admin of the in-site live chat room dubbed the TROLLBOX on the crypto exchange site [**Poloniex**](https://poloniex.com/). As Mr. Blort had administrator rights, he was able to ban users of the service. Another card that celebrates the TROLLBOX is Series 1, Card 39 - [**PEPEBEEFTAXI**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPEBEEFTAXI)**.** On that card, the artist Robness (who's username on Poloniex was GROUNDBEEFTAXI) wrote "I've been banned by the banhammer by like 50,000 hours already."\
\
The Troll Box was [**disabled in 2017**](https://www.newsbtc.com/news/poloniex-disables-trollbox-let-moderators-focus-customer-support/) to let moderators instead focus on customer support.

<figure><img src="/files/gshdnCgEgT8Mv7Bxu4YV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The card pays homage to the [early 1990's fad](https://www.buzzfeed.com/agh/tk-hidden-illusions-thatll-make-your-brain-hurt?utm_term=.wuAZ3M27yp\&epik=dj0yJnU9cy15RmVDS3J3YjN3UXNwS1dIWEhuVE90VEctODMzSkUmcD0wJm49cHRCZVJEc1RmZGhZZjRjc3FnMEJwQSZ0PUFBQUFBR055MDFn#.kbYrD4j9zM) called [Magic Eye](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Eye) which began as a series of books but quickly expanded to posters, wall calendars, greating cards, and more. The term for this type of image is "autostereogram" which is a two-dimensional image that can create the optical illusion of a three-dimensional scene.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 38 - PEPELLUM

<figure><img src="/files/BOG7m3JGsNMfGdz7DaAx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

They created a total of three cards for the Rare Pepe project.  The image used for the card is a still of the character [Gollum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gollum), from the American fantasy adventure film, [The Lord of the Rings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_\(film_series\)). Gollum was voiced in the film by actor [Andy Serkis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Serkis).  &#x20;

## Series 1, Card 39 - PEPEBEEFTAXI

<figure><img src="/files/sNebtHbrMfjPRqJiQwjH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 39** - [PEPEBEEFTAXI](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPEBEEFTAXI) was created by the artist known as [Robness](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Robness). He is credited with five cards in the Rare Pepe project, but Rob may be most known for a card that he collaborated on known as [LORDKEK](https://pepe.wtf/asset/LORDKEK).&#x20;

For this card, Rob used an image from the international public art exhibit known as the [CowParade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CowParade). This exhibit has been featured in major world cities and allows local artists to decorate fiberglass sculptures of cows which are then placed in public places in the city. The original cow sculpture was created by the Swiss-born sculptor [Pascal Knapp](https://www.pascalknapp.com/). The cow pictured is known as Taxi Cow and was displayed in New York City. It was later offered for sale as a [figurine](https://www.ebay.com/itm/203051343052). You can find the image in [this article](https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/cow-tunnels/) which looks at the history of cow tunnels in New York during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 40 - PONZIPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/MRANn1AUpK8pKpGVMi8s" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 40 -** [**PONZIPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PONZIPEPE) was created by Rare Pepe Scientist [**Theo Goodman**](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Theo-Goodman)**.** In total, Theo had 22 cards accepted into the directory. With the tag line "better than gold, safer money," images of various internet scams such as [**ONECOIN**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneCoin) on the monitor and a slot machine the card seems to tell the story of how a crying Pepe the frog was scammed out of his hard-earned money.

**Physical Version**

In 2023, Theo introduced a literal PONZIPEPE rug. With it you could "demonstrate a real rug pull with your friends, show off at your dinner party, and be the first on your block with a real rug pull." Ten of these were created and the first was purchased during the 2023 Pepe Fest that was held in Paris, France for 500k sats. The rug was featured in the following galleries: [**L'Avant Galerie Vossen**](https://avant-galerie.com/en/), [**Ilham Gallery**](http://www.ilhamgallery.com/). Included with the physical rug was a sub-asset called [**PONZIPEPE.RUG**](https://tokenscan.io/asset/PONZIPEPE.RUG) which proved provenance because sub-assets can only be issued by the owner of the main asset.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 41 - JONGPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/cRTuaizuXGoTX2RDwJSP" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 41 -** [**JONGPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/JONGPEPE) was created by [**ICQPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/artists/ICQPEPE)**.** The image on the card is a pepefied version of the then supreme leader of North Korea [**Kim Jong Il**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong_Il) taken in 2011 when he was in talks with Russia's [**Dmitry Medvedev**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev) regarding their [**nuclear program**](https://www.voanews.com/a/n-korea-ready-to-resume-nuclear-talks-128308348/144224.html). There are only 3 JONGPEPE in existence. When the card was [**minted**](https://tokenscan.io/tx/584743), ICQ wrote, "Strong Pepe Leader" as the description. Shortly thereafter the ownership of the token was transferred and the description was changed to, "$1milUSD EQUIVALENT!! JONGPEPE 1/3+ASSET OWNERSHIP+COPYRIGHT" implying that the current owner of the token is willing to sell it for $1M USD.\
\
Rare Pepe Wallet creator and scientist Joe Looney confirmed that he bought all 3 of the cards for 0.99 XCP from the dex in [**this transaction**](https://tokenscan.io/tx/584969)**.** Joe stated, "I didn't realize it was a 3/3 at the time". ICQPEPE wasted no time in listing all 3 of his creations on the dex. In fact, he created the order before he even locked the token.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 42 - IMWITHPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/r9XKI65VvSj9WK9GOu7O" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is one of 13 cards created by Joe for the Rare Pepe project. The card portrays a pepefied version of [Hillary Clinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton) and a modified version of her unofficial 2016 presidential campaign slogan "I'm With Her." ("Stronger Together" was the official slogan).

## Series 1, Card 43 - DEBATEPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/USFiYvoB023ANNDzVzof" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/OZNUYTe89tmeyAmKhj1c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 44** - [TROUTPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/TROUTPEPE) was created by an [unknown artist](https://pepe.wtf/artists/1JQjWjPAfhp7XxQpTTiAgEKQSkgTM81D5u) and it is the only card they created for the Rare Pepe Project. According to the user Trout on Telegram, the card was named after him and was created because he was a well known altcoin trader on Twitter back in the day. The symbols under the trout's fin represent some of the altcoin bags Trout was holding at the time. The term [shitcoin](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/shitcoin.asp) refers to any altcoin created after Bitcoin that has little to no value or discernible purpose.

## Series 1, Card 45 - HERNIAPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/07xItZG82KpfTtNZOOrG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Series 1, Card 45 - [HERNIAPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/HERNIAPEPE) was created by an [unknown artist](https://pepe.wtf/artists/1DDsNLqFAPUaDthkzWumMreLsyGkKBpJ8R). This was their only contribution to the Rare Pepe project. The subject of the card is former Bitcoin Core developer Mike Hern who [famously rage quit](https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-mike-hearn-sold-all-his-bitcoins-in-2016-and-market-proved-him-wrong) the project and declaired that he sold all his coins. The black and white sketch used for the card came from a [2014 Cointelegraph article](https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-core-dev-mike-hearn-openness-is-bitcoins-biggest-strength) about Mr. Hern.&#x20;

## Series 1, Card 46 - PEPEMINING

<figure><img src="/files/cCIvIpj3hevDwQHrImz3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 46 -** [**PEPEMINING**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPEMINING) was created by [**Hcarpach**](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Hcarpach) who has a total of 4 cards in the Directory. The image and text speak to the fact that the majority of the Bitcoin network's mining hashrate was based in China at the time (2016) substituting Pepe for Bitcoin for comedic effect. That all changed in 2021 when China officially banned Bitcoin mining. Even with the "ban" in place, [**China is 3rd**](https://hashrateindex.com/blog/top-10-bitcoin-mining-countries-of-2025) on the list of top Bitcoin mining countries after the United States and Russia.&#x20;

This and [BANEPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/BANEPEPE) were the only two cards contributed to the project by the artist. The card is an odd pairing of a character from the American animated sitcom [South Park ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park)a random person from a 2016 Donald Trump rally in St. Louis, Missouri. The South Park image is of the character [PC Principal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_South_Park_Elementary_staff#PC_Principal_\(Peter_Charles\)) taken from Season 19 Episode 1 of the show entitled "[Stunning and Brave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunning_and_Brave)." The YouTube clip was first aired on the Alex Jones program but has since been taken down. Another version has been found and it is available below. The text on the card "Are You Kidding Me" is a quote from the guy the internet has dubbed "[Carl the Cuck](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/carl-the-cuck-and-aids-skrillex)."

## Series 1, Card 49 - NOFAPPEPE

<figure><img src="/files/e7c3WIvp1LWGPjKFVeof" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 1, Card 49 -** [**NOFAPPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/asset/NOFAPPEPE) was created by the artist known as [**ICQPEPE**](https://pepe.wtf/artists/ICQPEPE), a prolific creator with 54 cards accepted into the Rare Pepe Directory.  [**Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion**](https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/p/vaseline-intensive-care-nourishing-moisture-lotion.html/00305213079004) has long been associated with so-called "fapping". One can only infer that Pepe is crying because he's fighting the urge to use the lotion for that purpose, thus healing himself.
