I couldn't find the post but someone else had posted asking if anyone had extra ballet cases or other single card holders.

These are cases that Ballet uses for their wallet
but they work well with Coldkey's as well and with any other credit card physicals.

Before, we could not get these from BalletCrypto but after many emails back and forth with their support team - they now have them up for sale, in packs of 5 for $25 - essentially $5 each.

the link is here https://www.bobbylee.com/products/clear-acrylic-cases-for-ballet-wallets

thought I would share.


edit --- as a note: they also fit the cs1 and cs2 stamps.


If you were to buy a 5 pack (minimum purchase) from balletcrypto it would be $25 shipped for five. However, if people want to join in on a group buy - I can make one order (prior to September 7th) where I can receive 35% off with free shipping - this would drop the case total to $3.25 each (and you don't have to order in multiples of 5) I would have the whole order shipped to minerjones (I did confirm that he would be ok with this) where he could distribute with any other orders he may be holding for you. If you were to have nothing with minerjones and bought 5 of them, cost for the cases would be $16.25 and I am pretty sure minerjones can re-ship them for less than $8.75, so it would still be cheaper than buying direct.

I am going to make an order for at least 25 of them for myself - if you want to join the bulk order and save a few bucks per case, comment with how many you want and I will add you to the list.

Order will be placed on September 6th. Payment needs to be made prior to that time.

Payments can be sent to the following address (do not send funds to any address other than the ones listed here in the OP)

if you want to pay via Bitcoin lightning payments, I can accept those - just ask me for a code (I had one posted but then I was made aware that they expire) - so pm me and I will send you one.

my count will be between 20-25 -- that way if the count is not a multiple of five as ballet requires, I will use my count to round it to the nearest 5.

1. MoparMiningLLC - 20-25 cases
2. tothemoonsands - 1 case
3. cygan - 2 cases
4. krogothmanhattan - 8 cases
5. bitcoiner24h - 5 cases

Thanks for sharing this.  I love how snug they fit these cards, certainly looks good for the single Coldkey cards.. but damn $5 dollars is pretty pricey for just a simple plastic case.  I have opened /use one Ballet card so far.  My case doesn't hold on all that great to the card, it easily pops open.  Are you experiencing the same or is it snapped down pretty firmly?

yes, the cards fit nice but I agree that they do not seem to snap on very tight, I have never had one fall open on me though but if you are moving them around a lot you would want to make sure you are holding it tight.

I did attempt to get a bulk deal on these by offering to buy several hundred but was told that due to their manufacturing cost that $5 is as low as they will go.  Now, if I do a bulk order (before Sept 7th) I could get a 35% due to a coupon code I have - it drops the price to 3.25 each but then I would have to ship them all out - not sure if I could ship them out for less than 1.75 to all locations.

I personally do not have need to buy that many of them - between my cs1 stamps, coldkite card, coldkeys and a few other cards I have - I could use maybe 20-25 of them. If we wanted to do a bulk purchase - we could combine what everyone needs/wants into one order - slap my 35% coupon on it knock the price down to 3.25 each - If minerjones is willing to facilitate the combining of shipments, we could have them shipped to him and the cases could be added to people's other orders, thus reducing the cost of the cases.

If a person gets even 5 cases at 3.25 (17.25) and had MJ ship to them only the cases, it might still be cheaper than buying direct. I will reach out to minerjones and make sure he is ok with it - if we do go that route.

I don't know how many want cases like this and/or how many they want - but we can start a list and see - I would have to order prior to September 7th.

I will add a list to the OP - if no others want to join in, I will most likely order the ones I need and use the coupon for those.

U can search ultrapro screw case for this.
They made alot of case made for magic the gathering card
They have snap, magnetic or screw case

Credit cards and Collectible cards aren't the same size though, that's the problem solved here. ;)

Thank you for the heads up Mopar! I don't have any need to join the group buy at this time, but I have been on the lookout for credit card sized holders like this. The best I could come up with was very thick acrylic display cases - and while these are nice, they are typically held together by magnets. The Ballet one is perfect, a tighter seal, the softer plastic is less prone to damage the inserted card versus the acrylic, etc.

For my case, I am just swapping out the a Pizza Ballet with a card I had in an acrylic display case, so again, no need for me to join in on the group buy. But thank you for posting this!!

that fit? I have tried to find one that fits the dimensions all the ones I have seen are too large (more fitting to a sports card) I even had https://www.bcwsupplies.com/ go thru their entire assorted sizes and the closest they found was still 1/8" too large so the card slides around.

edited to remove my quote of owlcatz - I was confused by his post and thought it was to me even though he quoted Geosgaen0 and I totally missed that at first.



you can order just 1 via this group/bulk buy for 3.25 - the order will be going to minerjones who can combine with other shipments you might have.  

Ah OK, I can't resist - I just saw you are accepting Lightning payments!!!

Count me in for 1 please & thank you!!  :D

LN payment incoming sir!

I have verified they fit:

Ballet (of course)
Coldkey
Coldkite
WEUKID cards (generic cards with name and public address) more used for sharing your pub address as a QR code on a credit card sized card
CS1 and CS2 stamps


I have verified that they do not fit:

LYNX wallets (they are about 3/32" too long) :(

LN Payment sent - thank you again MoparMining for arranging this GB! (and thanks to MJ for his logistics)

finally, the time has come - i would then order 2 pieces. ;D
the payment will be done this weekend

added you :)

bump

Start of the week bump.

how much do i have to send to you now, if i have ordered 2 pieces?

3.25 per each - shipping will be done via minerjones - he can combine with other items - if you have any there or ship direct. I am having all that I order sent directly to him.

mkay - will send the payment 2morrow to you
please send my 2 items to minerjones

will do - I will be placingthe order on Sept 6th.

I will be placing the order in 2 days on Sunday at about 4 pm to 6 pm so if you want/need any of these for any collectibles the same size as a credit card, now is the time to get them for 30% less than buying direct.

payment for the 2 items is out now

big thanks in advance🤝

thank you! I will be placing the order sometime tomorrow afternoon if anyone wants in before its too late - after that, they will still be available but you will need to buy them in blocks of 5 and at $5 each vs $3.25 each if you jump in now.

order placed - wasn't sure what timezone the coupon was on and it expired today so didn't want to lose it if it was on Hong Kong time.

I ordered a total of 40 cases, these will ship to minerjones who will be in contact with those below for reshipping/adding to other items he currently is holding for them. He should get them before the end of the week or next Monday at the latest.

1. MoparMiningLLC - 24 cases
2. tothemoonsands - 1 case
3. cygan - 2 cases
4. krogothmanhattan - 8 cases
5. bitcoiner24h - 5 cases

there was taxes that I forgot about but in looking back at a few of the payments that were made, some overpaid and I was told to keep it - so that went to the taxes and we are all good! Worked out to $3.50 a case after taxes and shipping to minerjones was free.

https://i.ibb.co/ZBmz8Jf/Capture.jpg (https://ibb.co/hBfFWMg)

got an email that these have arrived - so all involved, minerjones will be in contact for shipping. hope in the end, I helped save you all a few bucks vs buying direct :)


also, if anyone else finds they need a couple, I may have some spares as I have 27 coming to me - or feel free to order from the link in the OP - I was told that they will stay available.

thank you MoparMiningLLC
MJ confirmed to me today that my 2 cases had arrived. thanks for the whole process

received. Thank you  ;)
