Got some pretty exciting news today, well, I'll just leave this right here:



 

There were fifty of the no #'s, what number was yours??

 

Hard to tell, isn't it?

Yep, this is a tough one, by the looks of it I would say it's the # 1, but don't quote me lol.   What # is your brookie?

[Fattcatt]

Hard to believe only a handful of these have been found.  That is what this hobby so interesting.   Always a possibility of finding more high-end  ones

If memory serves there have been about 10 Brooklyn backs that have show up and about the same for the no #'s.  Hang onto those PSA 10"s.  Also, I read where there were no more than one glow in the dark per hobby case.  Wow, the odds of finding a #83 glowie makes it near impossible at this point since two have already shown up.

At this point the odds on a psa 10 red mini for the #83 I would place in the not going to happen or maybe one bin and there might be one more PSA 10 black mini out there because I saw it up close.  It's a beauty

With about 30 mini x being graded with only one 10, the issue must be centering and not corners or edges.  In comparison,  1/4 (22) of the full size ginter x (88 submitted) are 10.

Wowzers!!! I just got some great news myself  My card guy (Dave) just notified me that my cards at Beckett's are in. My 5 x 7 Cryptocurrency ERROR card is in, and it finally got slabbed/graded...got a 9.5  . I could NOT be more THRILLED!!! You might remember that PSA sent it back No SLAB/NO GRADE...seems like it's been a lifetime to get this done...but persistence has prevailed. PSA never graded nor slabbed the Topps Vault "panel cards", with the blank backs 1/1's, either. Don't ask me why, because no reason or explanation was offered. However, June 26th was when I turned in these cards over to Beckett's, and I got the word that they were in yesterday afternoon. The Topps Vault cards didn't do so well for grades I'm told, only 1 of them got a 9. But, because they are all 1/1 cards I don't suppose that the grade is gonna matter much, they're a set anyways. And the important thing is that they are now sealed. If I remember correctly a couple of them were cropped badly....might post some pictures later, if anyone's interested in seeing them.

Congratulations, Fattcatt! That's amazing news! I do love that big error card.

The BGS slabs are more compact than the PSA ones which to me looks better.  Glad t ok see that error card protected

[Fattcatt]

Yeah, me to Mr.Stacy  Thanks

Good Morning Penny Man, I do love me some error card too...especially that one!  Thank You Mr. Chris    Very excited to see these card again, they've been gone most of the time I've owned them, sitting on someone's shelf, waiting to be acknowledged. But now they have their pedigree and can join the ranks of other cards, heads held high. lol

Wow, long time coming to grade.  Nice grades

[dolphriends]

Looks like only a total of 11 glow in the darks from 2018 were even graded.  Only about 50% scored a psa 10.   I am convinced unless any others show up there were only two per player or insert ever made.  That would be as thought about 1 per case.  The bomb cyclone certainly is a real catch and that should be held until that card has its day.  Glow in the darks have completely surprised me as I thought there would be a lot more.

Beckett's hammered me for centering (like I control cropping at the Factory) and the corners came that way, I handled them gingerly. I am THRILLED with the 1/1 Topps Vault panel card & the "UNICORN" ERROR Rookie 5x7 Card One-Of-A-Kind, only known Error in existance of the #83 Crypto Card. Gold labels and 9.5 BOTH GEM MINT    My face hurts from smilin' so much....


It's almost like the people at the factory said "Who cares if they're centered, or we ding the corners", "All we have to do is get the Cryptocurrency Card squared and centered",   ....if I didn't know better that is....

As far as I'm concerned   I HIT THE BONANZAAAAAAAAAAAA
