We are Ripping today baby! Come through. Talking apefest, mudwater, and rippin!

I’m in the hunt for more physical Bored Ape Yacht Club Mudwater boxes. Willing to part with some of my sealed @BowmanCards, @BoBattleArena, and @GPKTradingCards boxes. Dm if you want to make a trade.

Let’s talk about what a $100K sale would mean for BAYC Mudwater. 👀🦍 There are 8 Cracked Ice 1/1s in Series 1, and a $100K bounty on the first one pulled. Think about how rare a sale like this would be for a brand new TCG. ⚡ First, the established TCGs: Pokémon has recorded 500+ card sales above $100K in 2026, but only 12 involved cards printed since 2014. One Piece has also crossed the $100K mark with modern Manga Luffy cards. Even in these established markets, six figure sales for modern cards are exceptional and rare. 👀 Now let’s look at Web3 TCGs: 🐝 VeeFriends Series 2: A reported $7K private sale for a 1/1. 🐧 Pudgy Penguins Vibes: PriceCharting’s top listed value is around $1,775. 🎴 Azuki TCG: A $10K listing marked sold via best offer, but the actual sale price wasn’t disclosed. These are the highest public benchmarks I could find for these collections. The gap is enormous. A verified $100K Mudwater sale would be an extraordinary milestone for a new Web3 TCG, putting it in the same six figure sales conversation as established collecting markets like Pokemon, One Piece, and MTG. More importantly, it could get collectors beyond Web3 paying attention. 8 unique 1/1s. A $100K bounty. Imagine the headlines if one actually sells for six figures. 💎

A couple interesting rumors made the rounds at ApeFest about Mudwater. 👀 I know Series 1 has only been out for 5 days, but hear me out. 🎴 Series 1: BAYC history and lore. Potentially the smallest circulation and most limited retail distribution. 🎬 Series 2: Rumored to tie into the upcoming BAYC anime, with both activations potentially feeding off each other. If Series 1 succeeds, could we see a bigger production run and wider retail distribution? Very early speculation, but an interesting possibility to consider while Series 1 is just getting started. Rumor 2 in second tweet 👀👇

Now how am I supposed to play with this? 😭

Think BAYC's Mudwater TCG is rare? 👀 Let’s look at the numbers. ⚡ Pokémon: 85 BILLION+ 🐧 Pudgy Penguins Vibes: 15M 🎴 VeeFriends Series 2: 2.89M 🦍 BAYC Mudwater: 2.4M Credit where it’s due. Mudwater has one of the smallest production runs among Web3 TCGs. 👏👏 @BoredApeYC did this one right. 🦍💯 But there’s another collection from one of the biggest names in digital art playing in a different league. 🃏 Beeple Everydays: Pre/Alpha Released at @nodefnd in Palo Alto in April 2026, this collection has just 25,000 cards! Let that sink in... That’s 1 Beeple Pre/Alpha card for every 96 Mudwater cards. Smart collectors should be paying attention. The world is sleeping on @beeple Pre/Alpha. I’m not. 👀🔥

GM and happy Mudwater Monday Who’s ripping packs today? @BoredApeYC
