Pepe Checks - S1 C1
## A Brief History of Notable Pepes
On February 4th, 2023, notable collector and artist [VincentVanDough](https://twitter.com/Vince_Van_Dough) released his first open edition: [Pepe Checks](https://app.manifold.xyz/c/pepechecks).
Pepe Checks was an $6.9 open edition in the style of [Jack Butcher](https://twitter.com/jackbutcher)'s Checks. 237869 were minted with 12k holders, making it one of the most minted editions of its time.
The artwork immediately inspired a large amount of derivatives, flooding Twitter and setting the perfect playground for speculation as to its future "utility"...
### On February 12th, 2023, [Pepe News Outlet 📰](/pepe-news-outlet.md#vincentvandough-announces-notable-pepes):
{% hint style="info" %}
**TL;DR**: Notable Pepes is a series of NFT drops of digital cards that are bringing the [Pepe meme](/chapter-1-historical-lore/the-creation-pepe-the-frog/birth-of-the-meme.md) to the Ethereum blockchain.
The concept behind the project stems from the [Rare Pepe](/chapter-2-the-rare-pepe-project/pepes-blockchain-beginnings.md) series that has been trading on [Counterparty](/chapter-3-blockchain-counterparty-how-to/counterparty-what-is-it.md)/Bitcoin since 2016.

*"You think memes are your ally?*
*You merely adopted the memes. We were born in them, molded by them. We didn’t see the light until we were already rare, by then it was nothing but dankness.*
*After 6 years of being molded in the depths of Counterparty, Pepes are coming to Ethereum.*
*A contingent of Rare Pepe artists & scientists, Fake Rare creators, and representatives of the frogs have been assembled to give rise to a new movement, spreading dank Pepes far and wide.*
*Each series will contain a total of 50 cards, with Pepe Checks representing card 1 of series 1.*
*We will be experimenting with a variety of mechanisms with the goal of achieving fair distributions of cards while simultaneously rewarding the most dedicated collectors.*
*The long standing rules of Rare Pepes will be in place. Submissions will be checked by a dedicated team of Pepe scientists to ensure dankness.*
*Pepe Cheques, S1 C2, will be made available next Sunday via a claim for any artist who has ever minted a Rare Pepe or Fake Rare, or by way of burning a FAKEASF. A Pepe Cheque will be required to be burnt to have your art entered into the Notable Pepe directory.*
*Each Sunday at 4:20 PM EST, 5 new cards will be released. Series 1 cards will be priced at 0.069 ETH per card and have a supply ranging from 100-1000.*
*Prepare yourselves." - Vincent Van Dough*
