Good discussions all around!
At first I was 100% with catt, but wheelz makes an interesting point with how each box *should* have identical cards (not really left to chance). Unless someone maybe found a way to open and then re-seal the box?
Problem is back in 1986 many cards were off center, miscut, etc. so doubtful you will pull a gem card and also there have been couterfeit packs and boxes out there. Need to be extremely knowledgeable , just my opinion. |

I agree with you completely. |

Yep without a doubt, I have been lucky enough to have seen the exact 1986 fleer Michael Jordan RC that is displayed in the beckett magazine of the first complete 1986 fleer complete set auction. I forget what month and year of the magazine, but they were all mint graded cards. Probably went for a fortune.  |

Plus when you open packs, you bought yourself a job of organizing them and selling or trading the plethora of cards. For that ginter box, i gave up a weekend organizing the cards. it was fun, but thank goodness we have a ping pong table that is perfect for that.
Only a precious few of the ginter x red mini ever showed up and from just a colorful point of few they are my favorite of the cards. Good luck to all in finding one  |

Here is another thing that PSA grades: Sealed packs.
I sent in a sealed 3-card pack with the crypto card on top. The odds are getting that card on top are lower than a 1/3 of 1 percent. If you were to order a ton of value packs in hopes of getting a crypto card on top - 350 of them, you'd have to pay about $2,300! (3 packs of value backs cost about 20 bucks, 350/3 = 116.67, 116.67 x 20 = 2,333.
If you are in the market for a PSA 10 one, let send me a PM. No pictures yet, they are still sealing it.
That's a pretty cool pack you got but you cant extrapolate costs like that and how much that turns into value of the pack you own. It should certainly get a little more than the card is worth but not nearly the amount X odds of getting one i see your point, but i now many of us buy packs with the goal of pulling a certain card (brooklyn, silver 1/1, etc) i'm just trying to make the case that it is better money management to buy the card you want with an analysis to back it up. I've purchased 2 full cases of ginter cards and an X case. As fun as it was to open those packs, it didn't make financial sense. From just a financial point of view I have always said just buy the card, but it's more fun opening packs. That's just my opinion . |

From the looks of the picture of the backside with the hologram,
You can make out the square recess where the key should be.
It looks "depressed" thus making me think there is no private key underneath
I would also recommend swapping out the coin in to a new capsule. I would fear that since it's already broken, it would be very easy to chip off more and those pieces could scratch the coin or scratch/tear the hologram. Just my 2 satoshis.
Great observations and very meritable too  Good eye Krog  |
