[ANN/INFO] CARDSMITHS - CURRENCY SERIES 1 TRADING CARDS

[markinaz]

New to the forum. 1st post/comment

So...does the 1A crystal sparkle exist?

I've gone through 50 boxes bought individually and through a case and a half direct from Cardsmiths without seeing one.  Don't recall seeing one posted either.

Oh I recall the discussion.  The holo foil and sparkle look the same except for the sparkle.  Best to let some sunlight get on it

Yeah. I keep a flashlight handy when I'm ripping packs.  I've found 6-1a holo's.  No sparkle yet

I am curious, which version is this?

Opened some packs this weekend and these were the pills! Also can anyone confirm that the holo gold card is a miscut? It looks uneven on the borders and there’s that white strip in the back that seems to be telling me that it is lol. Thanks!

Hey, Mark. That looks like a Crystal Sparkle.

Yes, does appear to be offset by a small bit.

And nice refractor pulls.. the MR5 Amethyst has not been seen yet. Thanks for the pictures
Interested in selling it?

Everyone:

I just want to say thank you to all of you who have supported the Currency Trading Card project.  Many of you have been here from the beginning and were the OG collectors.  It's great to see the addition of the Reddit and GME Currency communities growing now as well.

We are definitely getting into the home stretch with respect to Series 1 inventory.  At the moment we are OK, but there are some scenarios where that could change very quickly.  So, wanted to give everyone here a heads up about that in the event any of you were looking to pick up a few more packs before they are gone.

Are we down to 20% or 10% left? Can you say?

[Mrstacy]

Need at least one more set redemption plan.  Lots more people collecting now. Maybe require multiple sets per spot.  Or. . Do CS or HF redemption?  So many possibilities 

[Todamont]

I agree another redemption thing would be awesome, and would help keep the resale value of the V1 cards up a little higher until it closes again. I had a lot of fun collecting the base sets. I would like to see the people on the waitlist from the last promotion maybe get bumped to the front of the line if they do another one, or give the waitlist people a gnome card or something cool like that.

Yup. That's fair for sure.  May need a cap this time as well.

[StorageCold]

I don't see another redemption program for Currency Series 1. Looking like they will sell out much sooner rather than later.

Currency Series 2 redemption program I'd like to see better organized. I was pretty shocked that there were no limits to redemption requests.
I know there were also many voiced concerns about sets people sent in and not having confirmation of receipt from Cardsmiths.

There also seems to be chatter that any special cards from a redemption program are not "legit" because they weren't pack pulled, and thus, not on the official set guide for this series.
Maybe some official clarification from Cardsmiths about cards from redemption programs would help as well. Maybe an updated official set guide updated with the diamond 1/1's.

I’m going to have to buy a case soon to hold before they sell out!

Also sorry to derail but have a question and figured this community would know and it wasn’t thread worthy. As far as trading cards go in this space - there is cardsmiths, 2018 Allen ginter cryptocurrency, btc trading cards, 2021 garbage pail kids complexland, and the 2022 garbage pail kids. Am I missing any big crypto related trading cards? Thank you

Duoverse Duo cards never hit big time but rare cards might bring a big price.  Some have scratch offs for crypto funded nfts

For the check list the Emerald I posted in case it was missed last time. Just pulled the beryl.

Question...do all the meta rare cards have gem refractor variants?

Just been thinking about some numbers.  The odds of pulling a meta rare refractor are 1 in 124 packs yeah?  Well if you take the 204,000 packs (2125 cases) and divide that by 124 that would mean there are about 1,645 meta rare refractors.

So there are 11 meta rare cards, and if each of them has a gem stone variant that is gonna be like 3,718 cards. That's not even counting the foil and sparkle versions.

I know this has been touched on before but has there been any clear answer to what cards do the 1 in 124 packs odds apply to?

 I believe the odds signify 1 out of 124 cards, not packs.

You kinda answered your own question. The 1:124 odds per PACK apply to ONLY the MR ‘Refractors’ which are the HF versions. Not the gemstone refractors cause like you said, there’s 3718 of those. (=1:55 odds to pull one)

That puts MR HFs (150 total of each - 1645/11) and MR beryls at almost the exact same card amount. 150 MR HF each vs 149 MR Beryls each.

I have a breakdown of how many of every card there is but it’s hard to put it all in text.

The only thing I’m unclear of is do they make MR8 in gemstone? Have we seen ANY yet? Maybe since they give them out with (re)redemptions, they cut out the gemstones on only that card which would skew the numbers slightly.

[Burntrub]

It’s also unclear of what the MR CS cards that weren’t supposed to exist did to the odds of MRs in general. Is pulling ANY MR (CS or HF) still a 1:124 chance? Or did more MR cards get printed to fill the CS spots? So far it seems that the MR CS are a lot more common. But does that put MR HF at even higher odds than 1:124? I think only Cardsmiths knows that one.

The odds of pulling a MR holofoil is 1:124 packs.

From what I have seen in breaks and info from other forum members, each case will contain about 4 crystal sparkle MR cards, whereas you will be lucky to get 1 MR holofoil card per case

Haven't seen the master checklist in a bit but last time I saw it, the Gold Saylor was not shown as found. I pulled 10/10 a couple days ago. New to this forum and not sure how to add the photos.
