Does anyone know how many of the standard card size, black background versions are being produced?  Apologies if this was already answered elsewhere; thought I read it was estimated to be 500, but now I can't seem to find where I read that.

I have heard the actual production numbers don't come out until later once all the cases/boxes have sold?
I am sure other collectors deeper into the baseball card scene know more...

That is correct, also any short prints that were not noted on the checklist will be noted .

Most of us that have collected sports cards over the years knows if one card gets hot, we will crack open our boxes we put aside to hold, to look for a special player card knowing if we find the hot selling card it will pay for our box.   In this case #83 is the hot seller and it appears here is what is still left out there.  20 redbacks, 3 reds, 1 printing plate, 1 silver, 1 glossy, 1 wood stock.  Not much of the super rare.  Probably around 15 of the black mini's, and 30 of the no #'s.  This is as close as I can estimate at this point.  My best assumption is that the super rare remaining cards are either unopened or being held for a much anticipated sky high price after beckett lists pricings.

Good luck fellow treasure hunters

Do you know when they anticipate listing them in their price guide?

Talked to Beckett, person on chat told me print run info is usually updated about two weeks after the initial release.  So he said it should be updated any day now.

Selling one case for .17btc 12x24x8 cards in it first come first served.  Will throw in four white base cards ensuring you'll get at least one Cryptocurrency card unlike  me with first box.

Just saw the Oversize (10x14) #83 Cryptocurrency card sold for ~$200 on eBay. That's Kialara-grade investment profits!

Looks like the black mini's have all but disappeared, a few left until the next leg up.

how can you tell if a glow in the dark card is manipulated?  I read that in your other post that you said you are avoiding them because of that.

I'm looking at buying the one on ebay right now.  I'd like to have one of each variant for my collection (less the 1 of 1's).

looks like the border should be slightly raised

I'm avoiding the glowies too, that one has pictures of it in the dark, the glowing part seems off center and messy in spots....doesnt take long to conger up a fake.

They kind of all look like that though

Did you find gold border in hobby box or ??. Is there any rhyme or reason where to find cards?

Sorry I completely missed your question.

No I didn't pull any, unfortunately.  I went retail and bought them on ebay.

Pertaining to the glow in the dark- I can imagine there is a huge race getting those cards to the authenticators. Can you imagine the price on the first glow in the dark "10" condition?

An authenticated 10 gem mint holy grail is going to be an incredible find, 10 is rarely given.
