Beeple X NODE Everydays Trading Cards Resell for Hundreds

Mike Winkelmann, known universally as Beeple, is one of the most consequential figures in the history of digital art. Since May 1, 2007, he has created and posted a new digital artwork every single day without exception, a practice now spanning over 6,800 consecutive pieces.

The project, Everydays, is widely considered one of the most extraordinary creative undertakings in contemporary art. It is also the source of the most expensive NFT ever sold: in March 2021, Christie’s auctioned Everydays: The First 5,000 Days for $69.3 million, making Beeple one of the three highest-priced living artists in the world at the time.

The Infinite Loop exhibition at NODE, a nonprofit digital art foundation located at 180 University Avenue in Palo Alto, is a mid-career survey of that work. It runs through June 28 and includes major kinetic sculptures like Human One, Diffuse Control, and Tree of Knowledge alongside an immersive installation of Everydays pieces spanning the full arc of the project. NODE is not a pop-up or a brand activation. It is a serious institutional space that previously opened with a landmark CryptoPunks exhibition and counts Larva Labs founders among its advisors.

The trading card packs were produced specifically for the exhibition and feature art drawn from the Everydays series.

On opening night, the cards were priced at $10 per pack with no quantity limits. Whether that was intentional or an oversight, the result was the same: people who understood what they were holding cleaned up. Some attendees purchased boxes containing up to 100 packs for $500. The packs were also available through NODE’s online webstore at $10 each, presumably reaching buyers who couldn’t make it to Palo Alto in person.

The combination of zero limits, low pricing, and one of the most recognizable names in digital art created exactly the kind of supply imbalance that resellers love.

Packs that retailed for $10 on launch night are now trading for upwards of $100 each on the secondary market. Buyers who loaded up boxes of 100 packs at a discounted rate of $500 could be sitting on $10,000 worth of product at current prices, against a $500 buy-in.

At $10 retail from the webstore, the math is still strong. Even at the low end of current secondary pricing, that’s an 8-10x return before fees. After eBay’s standard 13%, net profit on a $100 sale from a $10 pack is around $77, which is a very healthy margin for something you could have ordered from a website.

Supply is also genuinely limited in hindsight. Whatever inventory NODE sold on opening night and through the webstore represents the entirety of the uncontrolled supply. There are no other authorized sellers, no Amazon listing, and no way to restock from a warehouse. Every pack in the wild came from one of those early purchase windows.

The exhibition runs Fridays from 6-10 PM, and Saturdays and Sundays from 12-8 PM through June 28 at 180 University Avenue in Palo Alto. NODE’s limit is two packs per person per day, and only 50 packs are sold daily. That means showing up early matters. The packs are no longer available online.

This one is pretty straightforward for anyone in the Bay Area. A $5-$10 retail item from one of the most famous digital artists in the world is reselling for $100-plus. NODE has tightened supply significantly, which means the gap between retail and secondary market isn’t going away fast. If you’re close enough to get to Palo Alto on a weekend, two packs is a low-risk, high-upside play.
