so I ordered a value pack ( it says 3 packs + 3 exclusive gold parrelells )

the thing is I had 3 of those packs last time so I must have 9 parrelels that I don't know are parallels ..

I need to find out what a gold parallel is and go back through stock again ..

also I ordered another blaster box

then on an app 2 other boxes they look different so im think 1 blaster and 1 hobby

does anyone know if the blaster box is possible to pull something valuable thats on that checklist?

by parallels, they mean cards that exclusive to that particular set.  In this case, they mean the gold border mini.  It looks just like the black border.

The gold borders are more rare than black borders and A&G Backs, but more common than no numbers (population 50).  If you were fortunate enough to pull open a value pack (which contains a sealed clear pack of 3 gold borders) with a cryptocurrency card on top, consider not opening the pack and getting the sealed pack graded.  There are under 5 such graded packs on the PSA population report.  They sold for $500 before the latest 6x bull run, but now that more whales are looking to stock up, I'd expect 4,000 or more for one now.

They used to pull in about $250 for a PSA 10 before the latest 6x bull run.  I'd imagine one for sale at $1,500 would be sold very quickly as folks are likely seeking to complete their sets and a bidding war would pursue if one were to show up.

If i recall correctly, a 1/1 mini glossy was pulled from an Amazon blaster box and sold in the $2,000 range when the market was a little soft.  I think all the 1/1s on the non-Ginter-X lines have been accounted for, but one could still find a Brooklyn Back (#d/25), No Number (pop 50), or Black Border.

hypothetical question ..

If you could anyone to autograph the cryptocurrency RC , who would you try and get to sign it ,
and what would you ask them to put ?

For example Vitalik with ETH on the signature ..

who do you think is someone connected either to crypto / blockchain and or the finance world that would
add value to the card knowing in all likelihood that your card would be the only one with that signature.

Charlie Lee ? Maria Bart ?

It sounds like one of those cases where the signature would damage the value of the card specially if it's an unusual one. If it's a base card with not so good condition maybe would be a good idea to make somebody interesting sign it and then certify the signature with PSA/DNA.
If it was an ETH bitcoin suisse certificate could make sense to have a Vitalik signature on (maybe?) but on this one I'm not too sure.

yeah I was thinking base card defiantly wouldn't want to alter a rare card / serial number card ..

Not much damage you would do to a base card vale .. I just think it would be cool as hell ..

Glad to help.  The way we all prosper is by bringing more into the fold.  many are late to the game and having to wait a year for a psa card to be graded and to have it get a bad grade is a bad thing.

Hey blue_label, out of curiosity, which #d/49 for the Jumbo Crypto Card did you receive? I’m a fan of the Jumbo cards and own a few.

[blue_label]

I think it was number 37 .. I haven't received it yet because I haven't paid yet ..

il be in the office tomorrow am and gonna send payment then..

but I think it was 37/49

Thanks for getting back to me, blue_label. The image of the representative jumbo card is 37/49, though the #d/49 sent is randomly assigned, which is stated in the description. I’m familiar, as I too have purchased from Mr. Stacy.

When you do get your card, I’d be interested to hear which one you have. Am enjoying collecting again. It’s clear to see that your are too. =)

[blue_label]

ok I will ..

and yeah I am enjoying it for sure ..

I am looking to expand what I have of the crypto card ..

I  have appx a dozen base cards ( 2 graded thanks to Stacy ) ..

A silver glossy gem 10 .. a silver glossy raw

a mini base and now a jumbo serial numbered ..
