Part 1 of 9: Defining 354 Slammer Borders, Designs, and Rarities
Common ‘RFOX Games’ Slammer with Green Border #24
A few days before the sale of 1st Edition KOGs on WAX NFTs, this collectors’ guide went live. But the world had no way of knowing actual figures until after the 3-hour sales window closed forever.
In other words, this series goes deeper into specific KOGs details. And by the time it’s over, we’ll have examined 112 different non-fungible tokens. But instead of making an enormous post that makes you scroll down a squillion times, this series divides the entire collection into 9 distinct sets.
KOGs Starter Packs contain 25 KOGs, and Booster Packs contain 6 — both are (maybe) still selling on AtomicHub. With a total of 6,622 and 6,183 respective packs sold or reserved for giveaways, only 202, 648 1st Edition KOGs NFTs will ever exist.
Now that packs are tearing open — 55% so far — and NFTs are minting to the WAX Blockchain, the secondary market is taking shape.
Amassing 1 of all 3,414 1st Edition KOGs is a challenge for even the most active collectors! How will you even know what piques your interest without a first-hand look?
You're in luck because that’s what this 9-part series is all about …
12 Slammin’ Designs
Whether KOG or Slammer, every NFT in the 1st Edition displays a distinct border color and shape.

But just because you’re a fan of Cerulean Sky, Console gray, Jeweled Earth, Neon, Pineapple, or other border types, that doesn’t necessarily mean your favorite design is available with that border.

Now, if you read into the two charts above, you’ll get an indication of borders you can get, and those that weren’t ever made.
For example, the 1st Slammer is none other than the pseudo-anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. And since that Slammer falls into the Ultra-Rare category, only the collection’s premium color applications will adorn its borders.
If the differences are still unclear, these images should help …

No set of Slammers is complete unless some wild animals are in the mix.

Slammer #7: Dollar Sign
The symbol of a KOGs baller, those wielding the Dollar Sign Slammer may be a little too focused on monetary gains.
