Been seeing a ton of listings for cards on ebay.
Perhaps people are trying to unload product after putting sets together for the redemption program.
Can't wait to see what these 1/1 diamond refractors are going to go for.
Word of redemption program is not widely known. I'm changing my Ebay ads to explain that there may be future programs. Also, I put a note in each package explaining how to get here. With the cards now on target, Amazon and gamestop, some folks just going for ballet wallet?? Or they are seeing that a cardsmiths box is pretty good roi compared to a sports box. One could spend 200 on a ginter box and have 30 bucks in resell cards. The 4 foil cards in a cardsmiths box return that (almost) alone Where was future redemptions ever mentioned? Possibly said off hand but was that confirmed??? Maybe I missed it There were hints and chatter in the forum of future redemption programs, but nothing was verified. I think the Diamond redemption program was to generate interest/sales in the product. Without having inventory numbers to compare, I believe the redemption program was successful to a certain extent. Greater number of listings and sales on the secondary markets. Boxes now available retail at GameStop. It also added a bit of fun to the whole thing. A cool idea overall. I'd imagine that if sales really started to stall out, they may create another redemption program. However, that would really start to get into the shitcoinery behavior of printing more coins/cards and diluting the value of the rest. It might be in their best sales interest to do another redemption program, but may not be in the best interest of those collecting these cards as an investment vs. a novelty. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

We will definitely be doing more redemption programs in the future for our other sets. Just not sure we'll do another for Currency 1. Not saying we wouldn't consider doing another in the future, but not likely to be the same as the current one. Also, the redemption item would likely not be another 1/1 Gemstone Refractor. I agree that doing too many of those would not be a good long term strategy. |

Or.. a series 2 inner case box. |

I think that Cardsmiths should dedicate 100% of its efforts toward BTC and Crypto related cards and projects. I think that in the years to come it will become evident that this is the route to go. Dont get me wrong, I love Golden Girls and Bob Ross as much as the next guy. However I think there's a real opportunity to grab this corner of the market and make Cardsmiths the #1 company. I stand behind you and am actively working to promote all your BTC related goals. Just an opinion

We certainly will always prioritize crypto, even in our licensed sets when possible. We developed the Gnome Program specifically as a way to interface our crypto redemption model into trading card packs developed for collector audiences who may not already be "crypto aware". And of course we will continue to produce the Currency series at various points along the way. |

I think we calculated that less than 1% of the base sets have been redeemed, so there is probably more room for those. I would imagine it helps pump sales and gives more value in the secondary markets too if people have continued motivation to put together multiple base sets. For example, I kept two base sets, one for my collection and one to eventually potentially sell for profit, in the distant future. I even went through my base sets again and found one holo card and had to fix that! Maybe more refractor sets could be made, or even new art cards could be added for redemptions in the V1 series. If you do another base set redemption for a new refractor set, maybe allow 73 (rather than 62) people to turn in base sets, so you can include the meta-rares in the new refractor set. With the diamond refractors, they are sort of a unique refractor set now because there are no existing meta-rare diamond refractors, as I understand. Or maybe allow 110 people to turn in a base set and make the diamond refractor meta rares a 1 of 10 card set with 110 total cards. |

I would have definitely paid closer to $10 for gold tally sticks (Any gold should be worth min $200-$400+ in my books) My guess is that the cheap cards being sold are from non collectors who are just purchasing packs hoping to get a 1 BTC redemption Re man mobile grading, I haven't looked at the site much yet but yeah, if they grade that card as a 10 mint they are not off to a good start |

That card slid by and nobody saw. It should of went for much more. For some reason it wasnt coming up when you searched gold. Maybe something with how it was titled |
