Telegram gift rarity and serial numbers

Updated 12 November 2026 · 4 min read

Two upgraded gifts from the same collection can differ in price a hundred times over. The difference is rarity: the model, the backdrop, the symbol and the serial number. As of November 2026, Sales Tracker indexes 12.07M upgraded gifts and 7,940 models, and every one can be searched by trait or by number in the Finder.

What makes a gift rare

Rarity in Telegram gifts works on two levels. First the collection: how many of that gift exist at all. Then the traits each gift rolled when it was upgraded. A gift is rare when it has a scarce trait, a sought after number, or both.

Every trait shows a percentage on the gift: the share of that collection's gifts with the same trait. Lower means rarer. Supply can also shrink over time. Gifts used in Telegram's crafting feature are burned and leave the collection, and each collection page in Sales Tracker shows how many were issued, how many still exist and how many were burned.

For the basics of traits, read how upgrading Telegram gifts works.

Low serial numbers and number patterns

Each upgraded gift has a number, from #1 up to the size of the collection. Some numbers sell for well above the same gift with a plain number. Two of the biggest sales Sales Tracker has recorded, as of November 2026, are number ones and twos:

Record sales as of November 2026.

Buyers look for several kinds of numbers. Sales Tracker's price estimate measures a separate premium for each, from past sales of similar numbers:

• One, two and three digit numbers, such as #7, #42 or #350.
• Repeated digits, such as #777 or #1111.
• Sequences, such as #123 or #1234.
• Palindromes, such as #1221.
• Round hundreds and thousands, such as #500 or #2000.

On a gift's page, the estimate shows this as a number premium, with the number of sales it is based on. A low number on a common model can still sell for less than a high number on a rare model, so look at both.

Rare models

The model usually matters most. Collections have many models: Desk Calendar has 157, Myth Mask 134 and Resistance Dog 127. Telegram groups them into tiers: Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary. Sales Tracker's collection pages count how many gifts sit in each tier, and how many of those are on a black backdrop.

Scarcity alone does not set the price. Buyers also pay for models they like. Cozy Galaxy is the clearest case: as of November 2026, 9 of the 15 biggest gift sales ever recorded are Plush Pepes with that model, led by #2339 at 146,428 TON.

To see the models of a gift, open its collection page, for example Plush Pepe or Durov's Cap, and sort models by rarest, cheapest or last sale. Each model has its own floor and sales.

Black backdrops, monochrome and symbols

Backdrops change price more than their percentage suggests. Black and Onyx Black are in demand across many collections, which is why gift pages list the floor of the same model on those two backdrops next to the regular model floor.

A gift is monochrome when its model's colors closely match its backdrop. These sell higher in many collections. Sales Tracker scores the match as a percentage and counts a gift as monochrome above a set threshold, the same rule its valuation uses. A model page lists the backdrops it is monochrome on.

Each gift's backdrops page, for example Plush Pepe backdrops, shows every backdrop with its rarity, floor, volume and last sale. Its combos tab lists the rarest model and backdrop pairs, with odds like "1 in 5,000" and about how many exist. Backdrops covers every backdrop across all gifts.

The symbol is the small pattern on the backdrop. It usually moves price less than the model or backdrop, but a fitting symbol on a rare combo can matter to collectors.

Search by trait in the Finder

The Finder searches every gift Sales Tracker has indexed, whether it is for sale or not. To find a specific combination:

1. Pick a gift, then a model, a backdrop and a symbol. Leave any of them on Any.
2. Sort by Rarest, by Number, by Cheapest or by Last sale.
3. Turn on For sale only to see just the listed ones, with prices from every market.
4. Add Monochrome or Black or Onyx Black to narrow it further, or hide gifts burned in crafting.

You can also search by a model's name or a theme word such as frog or tropical, which finds matching models across all gifts. Themes groups models from different gifts by subject or color.

Search the Finder

Look up a gift by number

The Finder's search box reads numbers. Type the gift and the number, such as pepe 1337, and it opens Plush Pepe #1337 with its model, backdrop and its listing or last sale. A short name is enough. Other formats work too:

• pepe 1337 or pepe #1337: one gift by name and number.
• 1337: that number across every gift, so you can compare #1337 of each collection.
• #939 with a gift picked: that number within the gift.
• A t.me/nft link: pasted as is, it opens that gift.

If a number was never issued, the Finder says so and shows how many have been issued so far. The same search runs in any Telegram chat through @SalesBot inline mode: type @SalesBot and a gift with its number.

Once you find a gift, its page shows its full sales history. To watch for a rare roll as it happens, the New upgrades page filters fresh upgrades by model rarity, backdrop rarity and number range.
