With the World Cup due to start in a few weeks, it just makes sense to keep an eye on the artists with a solid track record as you can become a holder of a collection of theirs for less than 100 bucks, compared to gambling on the next best thing on ETH or SOL. Obviously, a lot of NFT collections are just minted, flipped and abandoned but there are a few that have lasting power for a variety of reasons.</p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/w0r2to4iacx91.png?width=978&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=a985e2987f0d250eae71e95cf94fc0eaa4c4b0c0">Rank 6-10 (Declan Rocco, Ventral, HEADLINE, Alchemon, Fracctal Labs)</a></p> <p>All of these collections can be viewed, along with their listings, on the two leading digital art aggregators, Asalytic.app and NFTexplorer.app and you can find all of these artists on twitter.</p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/2yn7zpukacx91.png?width=989&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=3fe84d7cf652d4951a3b5cd1675c206876999860">Rank 11-15 (Algorillas, G-Raffe, Freaky and DeRose, Akita, Algoknitter)</a></p> <p><strong>Currently 1 Algo = $ 0.38</strong></p> <p>Ranked according to total sales volume.</p> <table><thead> <tr> <th align="left"><strong>Rank</strong></th> <th align="left"><strong>Artist</strong></th> <th align="left"><strong>Description</strong></th> <th align="left"><strong>Total Volume (Algos)</strong></th> <th align="left"><strong>Weekly Volume (Algos)</strong></th> <th align="left"><strong>Track Record</strong></th> <th align="left"><strong>Upcoming Stuff</strong></th> </tr> </thead><tbody> <tr> <td align="left">1</td> <td align="left"><strong>Al Goanna</strong></td> <td align="left">Al Goanna.
