Unfortunately you're not early, I was there when it all popped off at the start of 2023 and prices have moved considerably since. I do still believe Ordinals will be huge during the next NFT wave, but at this point I'm obviously biased as this stuff has printed me stupid money. For some perspective, fees were very low back then so minting anything essentially only cost you \~0.50$, meaning Bitcoin Frogs, one of the OG collections is currently up 14 000x, with a peak of 40 000x. The ORDI BRC-20 was minted in batches of 1000, so it's up 140 000x, and even if you paid 10 bucks for fees, you would've turned those into $68k. I doubt there's much more of those opportunities in the space, however it is ever evolving with Runes "mining" being the latest trend. With all that being said though, I do believe many of the OG collections got plenty of room to grow and are probably the safest bet, although the space is inherently risky and everyone getting in now will eventually get dumped on. Those include: Bitcoin Frogs, NodeMonkes, OMB, Bitcoin Wizards, Bitcoin Rocks, Inscribed Pepes (Pseudo) Utility stuff: bitmap, RSIC Copies from other chains: Bitcoin Punks, Ordinal Punks, Bitcoin mfers, etc. Projects with cultural relevance due to pushing the space forward: Quantum Cats, Taproot Wizards (not listed anywhere yet). For BRC-20s it's kind of obvious, ORDI and SATS are the big ones, but there's plenty more, and some come with utlility. My gamble on meme small caps is JPEG and WZRD. Out of the collections above the most undervalued ones seem to be Bitcoin Wizards and Bitcoin mfers, but arguably more risky than the rest. There's of course an infinite amount of collections to choose from. If you're a complete noob, Ordinals are numbered, depending on the time of inscription, lower means earlier - those naturally trade at a premium, although there's a certain threshold at which people don't seem to care anymore whether the inscription number is low or not. Keep in mind that Ordinals have caused BTC network fees to spike massively in the past, it's best to buy while fees are low.
