Notably, the collection’s trading volume has impressively surpassed 17 ether. 

Launched in December 2022, the collection comprises an impressive 45,000 fantasy cards, each originally priced at $99, showcasing captivating images of the former president in a style reminiscent of collectible baseball cards. As of writing, the collection boasts 13,955 unique holders.

Owners of these unique digital trading cards are automatically included in a "sweepstakes," offering the chance to partake in exclusive "experiences" with Trump. These experiences range from immersive Zoom calls to gala dinners in the vibrant city of Miami, and even exclusive cocktail hours at the esteemed Mar-a-Lago estate.

In mid-August, Arkham Intel revealed the wallet address of the former president and leading Republican candidate for the 2024 elections, amounting to $2.8 million, with reports of an additional $4.87 million earned in licensing fees from his NFT collection.

However, in line with the general market sentiment, Trump’s NFT collection has experienced a steady decline in value, having dropped over 50% from a peak of over 0.2 ETH in May.
