You have a great card coming to you. I made sure to wrap it up so there will be no damage. Too bad i'm only into sports cards, I may have kept it a bit. So everyone knows, I pulled it from a blaster box I bought off Amazon. I'm a hobby box guy myself and never thought something would come from a retail box. Happy hunting everyone.

Devils advocate.  But wouldn't a coat of matte polyurethane do the same thing?  That, and a ball point blue pen saying "1/1".    It's too much like a base mini to tell 100%.  I think it's most likely genuine, but then again how hard would it be to fake. 

No one will know for sure until/unless it’s sent to PSA for authentication.

However, it looks pretty legit, so I’m inclined to believe that it is.

The card gods were so unfair to FrankBitcoin and I.  I bought 3 cases and i know he bought a ton too. and someone not wanting a crypto card draws the mother of all cards.  Geez. 

I'm looking for the the super rare non existent card

One interesting concept is the box break.  I'm not the best to elaborate on this, but it involves a bunch of people paying a fee for all the cards associated with their favorite team.  Obviously, the Yankees will sell for more than the Marlins.  

In prior years, I"m speculating that they'd sell non-team cards as a separate "team", but this year, they might be willing to sell the 83 Cryptocurrency card as its own team.

I asked a few card people about this, but no response thus far.

Of course, when the pull is done, you could be left with nothing instead of having some cool rookie cards to recoup your investment.  But, i think it is more cost effective than buying cases.

Sorry my dude, I didn't even know the value of it until I checked Beckett and saw the glow in the dark was priced at $1,000.00. I almost shit myself. I would say that your best bet is to buy the blaster boxes. More packs for your money.

Is there a link to the Beckett prices? I’d love to see how they value all the various #83 parallels.

Good information. Thank you!

How about the Ginter X cards?

[Mrstacy]

I believe it was our walking talking encyclopedia of baseball cards that said that the Ginter X black cards would be hard to impossible to get a 10.  Indeed he is correct (again).  I pulled one of the ones i submitted myself and was ultra careful.  The highest i got was a nine.  Opening bids 1 BTC. takers?

[Luckysoab2121]

X doesn't have a price point yet.

That is black border for reference, not ginter x black  I think

[dolphriends]

So far my favorite of the cards is the ginter x red mini as far as appearance goes.    

[Fattcatt]

So far mine was the Topps Vault 1/1 that sold for $2500 way back when....sparkly serialized hologram WITH a letter of authentication, Nice, very NICE!!!

As far as super special guaranteed one of a kind directly from the Topps vault goes I agree the original blank back.  I could go on on about this card

Updated OP with the latest 1/1 glossy mini find. 

[BitcoinPenny]

I won the Javier Baez (Cubs) blank back card from ToppsVault, and it’s one of my least favorite cards. To be honest, I find it a bit boring due to the blank back. Sure, it’s a rare 1/1 baseball card that will be worth a little profit someday, but that’s all to me. I prefer my various, less rare mini cards.

Chris

[Fattcatt]

Actually, that popped up yesterday....was $150, then they marked it down...my guess is another mark down is in its future
