# Fuzzycards First Edition: Three Different Things Share That Name

- Description: One is a sold-out NFT drop. One is a stamp on 105 cards that stops existing on 2 September. One is what your local game store sells. They are not the same, and the difference is worth real money.

*There is one rule that resolves almost all of the confusion: if it came from an NFT, it carries the first edition stamp. If it came from a shop, it doesn't.*

If you are about to buy Fuzzycards — from the burn portal, from a marketplace, or off a shelf in a game store — there is one distinction worth understanding before you spend anything.

**Some Fuzzycards carry a first edition stamp. Some don't. Which one you get depends entirely on how you buy.**

The rule is simpler than the surrounding conversation makes it sound:

> **NFT-redeemed product is stamped. Retail product is not.**

Everything else is detail. Here is the detail.

## The short version

| How you get it                                       | Cards  | Stamped? | Still available?            |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------- |
| **Fuzzycards First Edition** — the original NFT drop | 1–45   | **Yes**  | Secondary market only       |
| **Burn portal redemption**                           | 46–150 | **Yes**  | **Closes 2 September 2026** |
| **A card shop**                                      | 1–150  | **No**   | Yes, ongoing                |

## Wave one: the First Edition drop

The first release was an NFT collection named **Fuzzycards First Edition**.

Per the project, it comprised **5,890 NFTs**, each redeemable for one physical booster pack of five cards — **45 unique card designs** across five rarity tiers, with **2,356 holographic cards** spread through a total print of **29,450 cards**.

Those 45 designs are cards **1 through 45** of the Genesis Collection, and they carry the **first edition stamp**.

The issuing account is `rKq8rjxa8Ld4xAxV9a6M914ABaDCMrtdxB`, taxon 0, if you want to inspect it yourself.

That drop is closed. The only route to those cards now is someone who already has them.

## Wave two: the burn portal

On 13 August 2026 the project opened a **burn portal** at app.fuzzycards.com.

The mechanic is literal. You destroy a Fuzzycards Genesis Booster Box NFT on the XRP Ledger — a real `NFTokenBurn`, not a transfer to a dead wallet — and physical cards ship to you.

Two things are burnable:

- **Genesis Booster Box** — 24 boosters plus one exclusive promo card
- **Genesis Booster Box Bundle** — two boxes, a limited edition playing mat, two promo cards

Redemption unlocks cards **46 through 150** — 105 designs nobody had seen before the portal opened. **These carry the first edition stamp**, completing the stamped set alongside wave one.

**The window closes 2 September 2026.** After that the stamped print run is finished and cannot be reopened. Whatever exists on that date is all that will ever exist.

### What is actually happening inside that window

This is the part worth watching, because it is measurable rather than asserted.

The two burnable collections held **921 NFTs** between them when the portal opened. Two days later:

|                            | 13 August | 15 August | Burned        |
| -------------------------- | --------- | --------- | ------------- |
| Genesis Booster Box        | 589       | **298**   | 291 (49%)     |
| Genesis Booster Box Bundle | 332       | **159**   | 173 (52%)     |
| **Total**                  | **921**   | **457**   | **464 (50%)** |

**Half the eligible supply was destroyed in roughly 48 hours.**

Set that against trading in the same window — about 34 sales across both collections — and **something close to 93% of all activity was redemption rather than flipping.**

That is the most interesting fact about this project right now. Given a choice between keeping a liquid on-chain asset and turning it into cardboard in a box, holders overwhelmingly chose the cardboard. Whatever you think of meme coins, that is a group behaving like collectors rather than traders.

Prices moved the way you would expect when a deadline pulls both buyers and sellers forward. Realized sales in the 24 hours to 15 August: single boxes at a median of **856 XRP** across ten sales, range 800–1,100; bundles at a median of **1,500 XRP** across seven, range 1,400–1,800\. Both down roughly 20–29% from a week earlier, on roughly triple the volume.

*Figures read from xrp.cafe on 15 August 2026, XRP at about $1.00\. Marketplace-reported, not read from the ledger directly.*

## The retail print: all 150 cards, no stamp

This is the version most people will actually encounter, and it is the least written about.

Booster boxes sold through card shops contain the **standard Genesis Collection — all 150 cards, unstamped.** Same set, same 110 Heroes, 20 Relics and 20 Events, same five Forces, same rarity spread, same holo treatments. What they don't carry is the first edition stamp.

Wholesale is $180 a box, the publisher sells direct at $220, and suggested retail is $11 a pack.

Two things follow, and both are worth saying plainly.

**It is a genuinely different product from the stamped tier.** Not lesser — different. If you are buying specifically to own stamped first edition cards, retail will not get you there, and no shop can change that.

**It is also the first unstamped printing of the Genesis Collection**, which is a real distinction even if it isn't scarcity. And after 2 September, when the stamped run closes for good, **sealed retail becomes the only way anyone new gets Genesis cards over a counter.**

Every card in a retail box can still be graded. The Genesis Collection is registered with **CGC, PCA and TAG**, with PSA and Beckett in progress. Grading doesn't depend on the stamp.

## Why people get this wrong

The confusion is structural rather than anyone's fault. A collection is *named* First Edition. A *stamp* is also called first edition. And a third product contains all the same card designs with no stamp at all.

Three uses of one phrase, no disambiguation published anywhere official.

The practical consequence is that someone buys retail expecting stamped cards, or buys a stamped pack thinking it's the whole set. Both are avoidable with one sentence, which is why this page exists.

## What to do about it

**Chasing stamped cards?** Wave one is secondary market only. Wave two closes 2 September — after that, same situation.

**Buying to open packs and play?** Buy retail. Dramatically cheaper, same 150 designs, still gradeable.

**Running a shop?** Stock the retail product and say plainly what it is. A customer who buys expecting a stamp and opens an unstamped box is a customer you lose, and you don't get the chance to explain afterwards.

## What I can't tell you yet

Two things remain genuinely open, and I would rather say so than guess:

- **Whether retail boxes come from the same physical print run as the redemption stock, or a separate one.** Asked; no answer yet.
- **What the stamped tier does after 2 September.** Once redemption expires the supply is fixed. Whether a durable resale market forms around it is unknowable. There are currently **zero completed eBay sales** for Fuzzycards of any kind — the physical cards are only months old and no conventional secondary market has formed.

I will update this page when either changes.
