I received one as well. Very glad to see that they are finally coming out with coins.

Some crossover with Reddit, but definitely a different crowd here. Would like to see the discussion continue on this side with the OG fans. :-)

Good evening everyone. Got BGS to label these correctly although their database is still not updated. If you send to them be sure to put a note on the card so that they label it correctly. Diamond instead of onyx
Very well done! We already provided BGS with the Diamond checklist, but will send it again. |

Well... here we are after about 1.25 years into this..... Amazed at what this new series of cards has brought amongst traders and the community A fresh take on your traditional trading card set and still not losing any steam... full speed ahead into Series 2 Managed to complete the Beryl Refractor and Amethyst Refractor sets  Emerald set almost complete... seems that #9 Bitcoin Crunch has only had 1 appearance via an Ebay sale Another mis-print like the MR cards? Anyone hear/know of another one? Paying top dollar for this Finally got on board with Reddit... lots of great collectors who are not on the forum here (all though, have gotten a few to come experience the madness we all love) Looking great MJ! Not sure what you mean by misprint? If you are referring to the low or zero insertion Meta-Rares, then a no. We've been through those overrage boxes now pretty well now and aside from a couple of cards of each design not needed to complete the production, everything is out there including the Bitcoin Crunch cards. Either people aren't parting with them or they are still in some sealed boxes somewhere. |

Doing some digging around on the PSA site. https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices/non-sport-cards/2022-cardsmiths-currency-series-1/240381This has a few of the diamond refractors listed as: 1 Bitcoin Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof 1A Bitcoin Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof 7 Nikola Tesla Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof 10 Bitcoin Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof 14 Ethereum Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof 28A Elon Musk Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof 41 Abraham Lincoln Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof 57 Salvatore Mundi Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof Perhaps they pulled this information from ebay, as I know a few of these were listed on ebay at some point. The page also lists most Onyx under the proper card number and name, e.g. 1 Bitcoin Onyx Gemstone Refractor 1/1 I thought what submitting some Diamond proofs to PSA would do is that they can verify that the 1/1 Diamonds are official cards that they can now grade and include in the Series 1 Pop, not now include the proofs as official cards. Just to clarify, we have no control over what PSA includes in their population reports. That said, the Diamond Gemstone 1/1's should be listed separate from the Proofs, which it seems like PSA is already setting up since they specifically listed the Proofs in a way which we assume will be separate from the 1/1's. If they end up getting lumped together at some point we can mention it to them, but ultimately they are the ones controlling the report. Still, I wouldn't be overly concerned about what PSA shows on the population report. They are always more of guide than an exact number. For instance, if you submitted a 1/1 to PSA and got say a 9, but later cracked it out and resubmitted and again got a 9, it would show a total of two 9's in the population report. Perhaps they'd catch it, but grading millions of cards a month it might be tricky. |

Has anyone seen an instance of duplicate numbered cards? I found a slabbed version of my 1A amethyst 02/49 on eBay.
Edit: actually upon further inspection, the front is a 1A but the rear is a 1. Pretty misleading...
Do you have any pictures of this? @JUPITYR, do you know the rarity of the promo cards from the national conference? .... P1 and the NT1-NT5 cards I do, yes. ;-) |

And onyx has 1/1 on label PSA came by the booth at the show. We discussed the various types of cards with them and submitted some Diamond Proofs we had on hand as a way of jump starting the addition of Diamond Refractors to their database. After the show we are going to work on getting them a full checklist of all supplemental cards that have been produced, including the 52 Diamond Refractor 1/1's. |

Anyone going to the sports card show in Chicago this coming weekend? Cardsmiths will be there selling promo packs of series 2 cards with a cold foil. Tell them you're on Reddit and you can buy 5, otherwise 2. Can someone buy me one? I'll pay double up front.
To clarify, the National Exclusives are not being "sold" per se. You get one free when you purchase $50 or more of Cardsmiths branded items from either Cardsmiths or a dealer on the floor. There is a limit of 2 per person ($100 total purchase) unless you mention you are on the forum. In which case, you can get up to 5, which assumes a purchase total of $250 or more. |

If you are getting diamond graded by psa, check that they don't wrongly describe them as onyx. Maybe @jupityr can have them add 1/1 diamond to their database
Word. There's also apparently a bunch of whiners on reddit claiming the diamonds aren't "real" cards and aren't part of the set. @jupityr needs to set these fools straight. I'm not sure anything I said would make much difference either way, but happy to share my perspective. When it comes to the Diamonds, I can see it both ways. Some may feel they need the Diamond version to truly complete the set or "rainbow". For others, only the Gemstones found in packs "qualify" as part of the set. You see a lot of that same sentiment in the TCG and sports card world with promo cards and other special cards that can only be obtained through special access, convention exclusives or contests. With all things, it probably comes down to the individual and what they deem as being important to them. The Diamond Gemstone Refractor is certainly a "real" card, but whether or not someone needs to own one to complete a Gemstone set of a particular card or groups of cards is really up to them. |

@JUPITYR were the Crypto Gnomes produced in the same amount/denominations as the Crypto Redemption cards?
and are they in both the Street Fighter and Bob Ross packs?
Yes, same denominations as Currency Series 1. Yes, both Street Fighter and Bob Ross packs have a chance at finding one. Jupiter did they do the same odds for the street fighter and Ross as they did for currency? As in 1 redemption per case? It doesn’t seem like they are hitting as often is why I ask. No, the hit rate is much lower on the Gnomes in Street Fighter and Bob Ross. |

I think the v2 cards look cool. SBF card will probably be remembered more as an interesting gag over time as I think he's gonna trade that ankle-bracelet for a good long stint in a federal f-you-in-the-a prison. Only time will tell.
Do you think V1 card sets will go up in value or down in value after the V2 cards are released?
If the trend follows like it did for Bitcoin Trading Cards, the value will increase And I doubt he will see 1 day in prison... the whole thing was orchestrated by the government anyways Agreed. He certainly has friends in VERY high places. At worst he'll get the Martha Stewart treatment. At best, he gets the Hunter Biden, probation and picking up trash on the weekend treatment. ;-) |

That is sad about series 2 coming out and being even less Bitcoin centric... Add my list to the names of people likely not interested in the next series.
Sorry to hear that, but I understand your position. In fairness, the set was never intended to be primarily about Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for that matter. The goal was always to tell a story about money and finance through trading cards. That includes a number of different people, currencies, cryptos, memes and commodities. Not all of which I or anyone at Cardsmiths personally agrees with or condone. I certainly don't agree with fiat currencies, Sam Bankman Fried, Mt Gox, using wooden sticks as money, or the Bitconnect scam, but all are part of the history of money at this point. That said, there are more BTC and Satoshi specific cards in Series 1 than any other card type and Series 2 has close to 15 cards that are either specifically BTC, Satoshi or BTC adjacent. That's slightly more than the amount we had of the same in series 1. We've just elected to tease more of the other cards types thus far to try and appeal to a broader audience. The best way to educate people about the benefits of Bitcoin is by weaving it into a number of different aspects of culture. Otherwise, you just end up preaching to the converted. I like the currency theme. I think there should be cards that are more desirable than others. But in my opinion the Crypto related cards are the bedrock of the series. There is a reason that the crypto themed cards are the most desirable and fetch the biggest premium on EBAY. This is one of the best made, well orchestrated card sets I've ever seen. The refractors, cold foil, and other variations are genius and draw you in and wont let you go. But the BTC is the reason for its success. I hope when your sitting around the board room at Cardsmiths Inc you respect the power of the coin and the role the forum played in the launch. Like everyone else I'm guessing our number one goal is the world domination of Cardsmiths Currency. Would sure love to see some series 2 sneek peeks on the forum Appreciate the kind words and agree that the crypto related cards are really the big draw for most people. That fact is not lost on anyone at Cardsmiths. It's also worth noting that the various BTC denominations comprise the largest percentage of all the redemptions. By far! I'm all for posting some BTC sneak peaks, but pretty terrible at posting images on the forum. That said, I will try and get some images to MJ to share. Oh, and if any of you are attending the National Sports Card Show in Chicago the week after next, make sure to stop by the booth! |

I understand your position.... I just wish there were inspirational people included too, perhaps Nayib Bukele and or one for El Salvador in general being the first country to make a Cytpo legal tender, etc. Something new for the Bitcoiners would be awesome!
Funny you should mention Bukele....  |

Was the limit always 50 cases in the cart on cardsmtihs? It says no more in stock after 50.
It used to show ALOT more until Dane tipped them off lol JK but ya know - probably some truth to it. Now it stops at 50 The quantity cap of 50 is a global cap that is cross-platform. It is entirely arbitrary. Yes, it was reduced from "no cap" a while ago, but it is in no way indicative of the amount of remaining stock. |
