Nice! i hope they get it.  that'll help everyone.   Someone try to get this on Wall Street Bets (the gamestop and doge hype people)

Not sure how to get this out there but, Elon Musk would be interested I'm sure if he knew of it.  Would appreciate anyone getting this out there .  PSA 9 high grade mint.  NONE higher

Thanks all

regarding grading cards ..

I just got off the phone with Brian at S G C  ..

their old pricing model on volume of 7-8.00 a card is being drastically increased
wouldn't give me a number but 12-20 would not surprise me based on how strongly he set my expectations for it.

The reason I contacted SGC was because of a large lot of vintage NBA and NFL ( 70-74 ) collection I have..

Also I have some modern cards I need graded ..

PSA only offering entry level membership .. BGS has contacted me but they are such tough graders compared
to psa ...

so not sure what I'm going do .. between my vintage lot, hundreds of series garbage pail kids and some of my modern stuff
which I knew would be expensive but now its more expensive and there are other factors such as my bias that PSA
grades improve based on familiarity with the submitter .. I have never submitted to them before.

Eventually there could be a major breakout and these cards become mega cards that the world in chasing.  We need exposure on reddit and other media and then we see the boom.  Like anything the more rare the higher it goes.

Yes. exposure on multiple platforms should help.  At some point, the price alone will get attention.  it is funny how once something gets pricey, we value it more.  that seems to be happening.  A lot of new people buying at listed price instead of making offers. that is a good sign.  New money coming into the segment.

As the price of a  BTC gets away from them the rookie card might be the only option.

[Thomas_Guide]

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 ..

Sweet, blue_label! I received #25 in the mail a couple days ago. Which serial # did you end up receiving? Thanks!

[blue_label]

I love it thank you Stacey !

This is most likely the truth.  Pretty shocked to see the prices of those base cards right now.  If we see BTC at $100K I can easily see those graded PSA 10 base cards going out the door for $1k+

Looking at these latest sales this red mini is getting close to being sold

[Mrstacy]

Base cards are becoming very hard to find.  But...the word is getting around slowly to some not paying attention.  One can buy the whole 350 card base set for 50 bucks still.  someone has a 350 card complete gold set for 800 and that may be a good way to get a gold border crypto card.  There is also a full-size, 350-card ginter x set for sale.

I have nothing in black .. the X set ?

and in mini ..

 the only mini I have is base regular border and back ..

no gold border .. no AG back or other .. just one one ordinary mini

as far as base card raw I have been buying them as fast as I can spot them ..

was paying 4.00-17.00 .. then 20.00 now its costing 30-40 per even in a 3 card lot but I am close to my goal
for base cards so I'm gonna overpay a bit longer to get to my goal .. I had a dozen or so I bought at 4.00 so
I had room to dollar cost average up

Yes. The all-black ones are an x box Exclusive.   The one being auctioned now is an example.   There is also the #d/5 red and the unseen #d/1 silver.

Until the silver is found,  unopened x boxes will sell for a premium.

Good way to stack base cards. Buy as you find them.   Also look for sellers not getting the memo (on crypto card appreciation) that sell cards as a complete set, lots, or pick your card auctions.

Some people will also buy psa 9s and crack them open to send them to bgs in hopes of getting a 9.5.  That half grade might be huge in the future
