They do, I've just seen better results from the blaster packs. I've bought both plus the retail boxes and have noticed most good hits come from the blaster packs. Just saying.. Doesn't every pack literally have all the odds on the back in like super-small writing? I guess I'll use a magnifer app on my phone to check some hobby packs...  |

I've had better luck with the blasters. I think it's all the same though. Just bought a bunch of the blaster boxes again. Only 14 a piece.
Awesome! Good luck! By the way, how do the blaster boxes (8 packs @ $14) compare to the retail boxes (24 packs @ $45-50) with regard to hit quantity, etc? I may buy a box or two. Thanks, Chris |

X doesn't have a price point yet. a&g at 25, black at 60, Brooklyn at 500, glow in the dark 1,000, mini gold 80, no number 400, reg standard 3, reg glossy silver 15, reg mini 8. if I post the link you won't be able to view. All of the 1 of 1's and the red of 5's are not priced. That is usually set by the market. Sorry my dude, I didn't even know the value of it until I checked Beckett and saw the glow in the dark was priced at $1,000.00. I almost shit myself. I would say that your best bet is to buy the blaster boxes. More packs for your money.
Is there a link to the Beckett prices? I’d love to see how they value all the various #83 parallels. Regards, Me Good information. Thank you! How about the Ginter X cards? |

I would say that your best bet is to buy the blaster boxes. More packs for your money. You have a great card coming to you. I made sure to wrap it up so there will be no damage. Too bad i'm only into sports cards, I may have kept it a bit. So everyone knows, I pulled it from a blaster box I bought off Amazon. I'm a hobby box guy myself and never thought something would come from a retail box. Happy hunting everyone. Devils advocate. But wouldn't a coat of matte polyurethane do the same thing? That, and a ball point blue pen saying "1/1". It's too much like a base mini to tell 100%. I think it's most likely genuine, but then again how hard would it be to fake.
No one will know for sure until/unless it’s sent to PSA for authentication.  However, it looks pretty legit, so I’m inclined to believe that it is. Regards, Me The card gods were so unfair to FrankBitcoin and I. I bought 3 cases and i know he bought a ton too. and someone not wanting a crypto card draws the mother of all cards. Geez. |

I know you're not the buyer. Just typing away. It was exciting on both ends I'm sure. Hopefully it will make a great center piece for your cryptocurrency set. You have a great card coming to you.

Great score for someone. Being a noob, i still lean towards how aesthetically pleasing the card is. Love the ginter x and gold border. Ill never be a good card guy that way He means collective "your". For the record, i am not the buyer. But, if i had a time machine and could go back to his/her original post.... |
