This item was released by the educational media studio Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell as part of their 72-hour pre-order exclusive window in 2023. These campaigns are structured to create immediate scarcity; production is limited exclusively to the number of orders received during that specific three-day timeframe, meaning no surplus stock is manufactured for general retail.

## COLLECTOR NOTES

1 

The 72-hour pre-order window for this specific item closed in early 2023, ensuring that exactly zero additional units were produced post-campaign.

## SCARCITY

Scarce 80-90% 

Common Legendary

Rarity 6/10. Curiosa currently catalogues 8 collectibles items at rarity 6 or higher.

### Typical Characteristics

-   Dozens per year at market
-   Documented provenance valued

### AUTHENTICITY CONFIDENCE

Very High (90% confidence) 

#### Confidence Factors

-   High-fidelity printing on backing card consistent with Kurzgesagt manufacturing standards

-   Specific 72H exclusive branding matches documented 2023 campaign graphics

## COLLECTOR SPECIALIST'S TAKE

Memorabilia Authentication Expert

Memorabilia Specialist

Identification is high due to the exceptionally clear text and specific branding on the packaging, which is unique to this limited production run.

### KEY EVIDENCE

-   1 Presence of '72 H PRE-ORDER EXCLUSIVE' text on lower left corner 
-   2 Card identifies 'Video: Strange Stars Explained' as the source material 
-   3 Correct logo mark for 'Ducktopia Labs Collection' positioned at the top right 
-   4 Liquid core mobility visible through the central dome, which is the primary hallmark of the No. 2 series 

### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

-   → Keep in original cellophane to maintain 'New in Bag' premium 
-   → Check for any signs of liquid evaporation if stored in high-heat environments 
-   → Verify secondary market sales on platforms like eBay and Mercari for 'Kurzgesagt 72H' series items 

COLLECTOR GLOSSARY (2 terms) 

## CONDITION & GRADE

Gem Mint (Carded) 

### Grading breakdown

The factory cellophane remains intact. There is no visible oxidation on the black nickel and the cardstock retains high ink density without fading.

### Condition

Item appears to be in 'New in Plastic' (NIP) condition. The backing card shows sharp corners with no visible softening, and the liquid core maintains its original fluorescent saturation without signs of evaporation or leakage.

## COLLECTIBLES MARKET VALUE

$45 - $85
