Bicycle was an old-fashioned playing card maker that issued NFTs in the Genesis Collection. The Genesis Collection is a collection of 137 year-old NFTs. Bicycle also purchased Bored Ape Yacht Club #,227 last June. Bicycle and parent company Cartamundi Group announced on Tuesday that the playing card firm plans to launch a classic Bicycle card deck featuring the company’s Bored Ape.
Bicycle Plans for a Bored Ape-Themed Deck of Playing Cards and a Physical Deck to support the Genesis Collection
Bicycle is releasing a new deck of playing cards that will feature one of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs. Bitcoin.com News reports that Bicycle has entered NFTs through the Genesis Collection. This collection includes futuristic playing cards by Adrian Valenzuela. Bicycle confirmed Tuesday that they still have the Main Genesis Collection available.
Bicycle plans to also create a Genesis Collection-centric physical collectible card deck. This will be available to NFT holders. Bicycle acquired BAYC #1227 NFT in June. The company received 103 ETH. At the time Ethereum (ETH), was traded for $1,858 each coin. This was the same day that it was bought. The current value of 103 ETH is $135K. Opensea reports that the current best bid for BAYC #1227 in 2019 is 73.85ether (96,550).
“Bored Ape #1227 will also be featured on a classic Bicycle card deck launching next year,” the company explained during the announcement. “The deck will feature the brand’s new NFT in a fun, playful royal Ape-themed deck. Bored Ape Yacht Club members will be continuing the journey with their inaugural card deck. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks.”
Bicycle also stated that the company will be celebrating their BAYC purchase this week at Artcade in West Hollywood. Artcade is an NFT gallery on Sunset Strip, West Hollywood. Bicycle-branded and Genesis Collection-themed merchandise will also be on sale at the event. “We see communities like the Bored Ape Yacht Club as the heart and soul of Web3. Bicycle is all about playfully connecting, and Web3 opens up new ways for us to interact and co-create with communities,” Cartamundi Group executive Tricia Bouras said on Tuesday.
