Anyone in the US interested in trading non bitcoin extra cards?

I've got a bunch of base, random minis, and glossy silvers extras and have misc ones I want to complete the sets I do have.

If there's any interest I'll do an inventory of what I have/want. Eh? 

Good idea.  But we all seem to be seeking same cards - eclipse,  monument,  and cyclone

Outside of those cards you mention, I know next to nothing about the others though as I don't follow baseball anymore really, but obviously the rookie cards etc.

Regardless, I would like to find at least one or two glow in the darks of whatever type, or a few more NN's at least...

Question - Are the "Brooklyn backs" (reddish ink) ONLY on signed minis? thanks

No, take a look at the brooklyn backs I posted above.

I'm not seeking any of those cards — and I have a spare GLOW Cyclone, iirc — so I'm down for some good old-fashioned card-trading.

Let me finish cataloging my cards, so I'll know what I need. Might be a week or two more, tho.

Those No Number Crypto's are up to $1000...or close to it. Glad that I grabbed a couple of them..... when they were cheaper.....

The early bird got the worm for sure.  Just think about those nice 1/1 printing plates in the one hundred dollar range. 

When the first red crypto card was on ebay, i thought 100 was too high and offered lower than asking.  Hindsight is 20/20.

I feel there must be a ton of cards being graded.  Just no rare cards are showing up lately. 

[Fattcatt]

Even the base, A & G backs, black border, gold border, etc more common cards  Bullpen Car, Marine National Monument, Eclipse, Cyclone Bomb, Samsung Park have all but disappeared. Perhaps it's because of the end of the season.... that $230.50 Mini X RED that sold the other day, pretty much proves that the sub-set IS IN FACT being heavily pursued.

Totally agree with fattcat, when I saw the #204 samesong stadium red mini go for 230.00. That pretty much tells the whole story.

That would be a fair trade straight across, both are rare and equally sought after.  Best of luck

ISO a couple cards.


Gold borders: solar eclipse, samesong, national monument


Anyone with extras trying to help a hoarder complete some sets? Pm me.

I'll go thru my cards later today, Ticked. I've not searched for any Samesong cards. I'll let you know what I find.

Do this search in ebay and save it.  Set it to give you email alerts.  Better yet, do from ebay phone app to get instant notifications.

I think the black mini's have all disappeared, I have been working on sets I can accomplish like the gold border, black border, and the black mini of my six favorite inserts.  Not going to try for the red or silver mini unless I had the crypto #83 mini.  At this point I think only a few owners of the red mini's have a shot at doing this.  I doubt anyone has the silver mini of the crypto but, the red mini's are getting so expensive for these inserts and the crypto will be a fortune.  Anyway that's my opinion.

@dolphriends where do you see prices for these crypto cards a year from now? Considering whether to hold long term or sell some of mine while interest is high.

Of course it is just an opinion but,  I see the red mini #/5 @ 10,000.00  black mini @ 1500.00  brooklyn back  2500-3,000.   printing plate 25,000.00   the common mini @100.00   .   Any 1/1's will be super expensive like the blank back from the topps vault.

I put a value on my other five favorite inserts @ 10% to 15% of the crypto card.   The recent samesong park red mini went for 230.00 and the crypto red mini went for 2700.00 as an example of value comparison.  If a red mini solar eclipse comes up for sale right now I think it will take 275.00 minimum to get it and maybe more.

I often look at the pick your card sellers on ebay like the ginter black mini to see if they have one of my favorites and they are always sold out.  Gives me a good indication of the popularity.  This ginter x because it is so limited will always be a favorite and supply and demand is always in play   It isn't just the crypto collector but, also the mainstream card collector that collects these.

I have no experience with cards, but i'm bullish now that i see other cards start to increase in value.  I notice that graded cards seem to go for double of non-graded cards, so when PSA starts to release the cards they are holding - watch out!
