3. CryptoPunks circa 22 June 2017
What to say of the iconic and uber-expensive Larva Labs developed CryptoPunks? CryptoPunks are a collection of wildly popular 10,000 unique 24x 24 8-bit images, divided into 5 types. These are Alien, Ape, Zombie, Male and Female. They were deployed on 22 June 2017 – though they are falsely perceived as the oldest NFT art collection. However, they are number 3 on the list of top 5 historical NFT collections. Each of them have unique personality and random generated features, some of them are of course more rare than the others and fetch a premium. CryptoPunks are routinely sold for millions with a highest recorded sale of 4,200 ETH or over 7.5 million dollars for #3100.

Etheria is the oldest Ethereum based NFT project in existence, virtual tiles of land on the blockchain and a primitive version of Decentraland! It holds the top position in our top 5 historical NFT collections list, however it’s not exactly an art collection, so that honor still remains with Curio Cards. It was deployed 77 days after the launch of the public Ethereum network on 21 October 2015.
