Thanks! Must have missed when it was posted it earlier. I managed to get a few of the more rare gemstone cards so far and I only opened 2-3 of the packs so far. Probably get around to opening the rest today.

Nice
Post some pictures if possible.

I think the confusion comes from "1:#" being used as "1 per : #" of packs odds,
while also being used for the 7 gemstone cards as "1 of : # made" per base card.

Pack Odds:
1:1 (1 per pack odds) -  Holofoil
1:2 (1 per 2 packs odds) -  Crystal Sparkle (BORDER)
1:10 (1 per 10 packs odds) -   Gemstone Refractors (NO BORDER)
1:96 (1 per 96 packs odds) -   Redemption Card
1:124 (1 per 124 packs odds) - Meta Rare

Gemstone Refractors
1:149 (149 made per base card) - Beryl (Orange)
1:99  (99 made per base card) - Emerald
1:49 (49 made per base card) - Amethyst
1:25 (25 made per base card) - Ruby
1:10 (10 made per base card) - Gold
1:5 (5 made per base card) - Sapphire
1:1 (1 made per base card) - Onyx

Haha will do later today! Gotta run out and find penny sleeves or top loaders for em first . 2 packs open and the best I got so far was an amethyst "moon" card. Still have plenty of packs to go. Really hoping for a redemption though (I'm sure all of us are)

[xSlyy]

So I caved and opened my first pack! I ended up buying a few more because of FOMO. From my first pack, this seems to be the 'rarest' card I found. It doesn't have a border, and it's way more reflective (rainbowish) than the others. Seems like this far we're putting pieces together of what rare cards may look like so here's my contribution. Hope it helps! Will open a few more packs later in the week and will post back with my findings.

[minerjones]

Nice pull.

That is the Crystal Sparkle version of the card.
Can tell by the full art/no border on the front.

[Jambo USA]

My best 3 so far.

Also is anyone else having issues with the Gemstone refractors cards being bent? All my cards are fine EXCEPT the GR cards which have a pretty bad curve in them. Not sure if it's just from the weather during shipping or maybe the materials contracted or something.

Yes.. I think it is the nature of how they are printed.
I put mine in one of the hard-plastic magnet-snap toploaders.
Hopefully this works in keeping the card flat.
Can get a 5-pack at Wal-Mart for about $7-$10
Look like the ones seen here:

[Cryptogreatdane]

Thats a ruby and an amethyst refractor. Those are selling on ebay right now for $200 and $400 respectively.  Almost better yhan a redemption card. Congrats

Yeah I've got some top loaders coming in for them. Still kind of a pain that they show up super curved. I've got em tucked under some weight so hopefully that helps retain the shape til the holders get in.

Refractor cards like these are layer-constructed cards consisting of thick card stock, holofoil film and laminate.  They are prone to the "curling" effect as it is referred to in the printing industry. 

We do what we can in the production process to minimize the effect, but there is no way to completely prevent it.  Keeping them in a top-loader or One-Touch type case will help to correct them back to the intended shape.  Grading cases like those used by PSA and BGS would also help correct the shape as well.  There may always be some minor curling though.  It's the nature of the beast.

I got my 12 packs and got a few cool cards, but this one is the best!



Has anyone redeemed one yet?  I have yet to scratch it off.

Well done!!

And yes.. there have been a few redemption cards obtained by collectors here on the forum
There should be a numerical code, an amount and what currency you won underneath the scratch off area

[Cryptogreatdane]

Alright, dying to know. You gonna scratch that bad boy? How much? Can you retire or do you have to go back to work tomorrow.

[markinaz]

I'll be going back to work in the morning and showing up promptly...lol  .001 BTC, still a cool card though!

   I say you dont redeem it. yet, anyways. try to sell it like physical bitcoin. The redemption collector card has to be worth 0.002 unredeemed, or more

Do you think there is more value in the redemption cards or the Ballet wallets that hold them?
Those might be ever rarer than the redemption cards if people don't open packs to find or redeem their redemption cards...
