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

[Mrstacy]

I won one of the recent #1A cards on eBay. My top bid was WAY higher than $60, because when you need one card to complete a set, that one card essentially becomes worth as much as a whole set.

given that, what would it take to make you let go of your set(s).  i'm thinking a #d/149 isn't enough.  maybe a #d/25.

I’m a collector - not a seller. I do trade occasionally. I speculated that the reward for “burning” 62 cards is worth the price of a completed set. Either way - we will see. I’ve been wrong before and spent more $$$ on dumber stuff… but will definitely be trading in one set. It’s just fiat - always more to be made

Hello everyone.  Good afternoon.  Heard about a card burn from a collector on ebay.  Found this thread after some google searches and decided to join the fun.  Been in the hobby for awhile but I like Bitcoin also.  This set is cool.  Will probably see yall in the the trade section also.  My ebay is the same as this one.  Thanks to anyone who has dealt with me.  Has anyone got any cards graded by Beckett or tried?  They wouldnt grade one of my cards about 2 months ago stating it was unlicensed.  I didnt ask Beckett any questions but maybe they were not familiar with this set since Cardsmiths is a new company. I did send an email to Cardsmiths concerning the matter but did not hear back. Cheers

Welcome and thank you for the info

I was going to try HGA grading.  They seem more chill.  Plus they do custom slabs to match card.  Will make those serial number Refractor types shine.  But... psa is still king.  You lose value not going with psa so hga for personal collection.

I'm starting to wonder if card #1 is more rare, in the crystal sparkle set. I have four #1 holos that were mistakenly (?) sold to me as CS cards. I'm too afraid to buy any on eBay without a pic of the specific card being sold, now... And there are no #1 CS card listings with pic, at all... If anyone has #1 CS, I'm willing to do a trade or buy for bitcoin at a reasonable price. Cheers~

Your hunch is spot on.  I open a case or 2 and no 1 or 1a cs ( unless I got confused and sold it inadvertently). In 2 cases I got zero 9s of any flavor so cardsmiths need a better card shuffling system. In same session got 5 or 6 1a base.

Until I see a pic 1 and 1a cs are dead to me lol.

I have noticed that one of my 1 holes has a different glow than others.  Dare I say "sparkle".  Hmm. Could actually be a cs with a border???

Cardsmithing mystery grows. I must say it isn't dull. Frustrating but not boring.

Hope these show ok but top is most sparkle.  Middle is base and bottom a holo I think.

Top looks like holo to me. Bottom looks like base. Middle looks like some sort of error. I only have a base and holo of these and it looks exactly like the top and bottom (1st and 3rd)

Here you go, looks like a CS #1a to me

Hmm. Inconclusive to me. Sparkle more glittery but angle is not ideal

[CoinageMint]

If you have one of each, weigh them. There should be a slight difference between the HF and CS cards as posted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5406560.msg61447125#msg61447125

This is a holofoil - the sparkles really freaking sparkle. The holos just “glow”

After seeing @Montreal pic above - confirms even more that the middle card is an error.

Welcome and thank you for the info

I was going to try HGA grading.  They seem more chill.  Plus they do custom slabs to match card.  Will make those serial number Refractor types shine.  But... psa is still king.  You lose value not going with psa so hga for personal collection.

I like Beckett mostly because they put a sleeve on the card.  Would like to know if anyone got any cards graded by PSA succesfully.  Custom slabs sound cool. Will do some research on those other companies.  Thanks for the feedback.
