Thanks MJ!  Do we know who are on cold foils.  A few think the binance chief is one.  CZ

[StackItUp]

will there be Hal Finney or Mike Caldwell cards in series 2? ☺️

[StorageCold]

Thanks for the new thread, MJ!

Me and a buddy went hard collecting Series 1.

Hoping to see some cool stuff from Series 2, however, the preview cards are a bit underwhelming so far.

Really think that the artwork should have been a big improvement for this series, but the wine bottle and Einstein, as well as the emerald black cloak satoshi? are really lame. Just looks like cheap copy and paste clip art.

The promo pics for Series 1 with the Bitcoin Bull, Satoshi Jones, Elon, etc. are really eye catching. Nothing really comparable in the Series 2 promo pics.

You would think they'd add some of the best artwork for the Series 2 promo pics like they did with the first series.

I'm keeping my hopes up, but will wait and see before I jump into collecting Series 2.

In series one chat @jupityr was pretty cheeky when someone mentioned one of those.

Ha. Yup and the whole reddit community is full of peace and love  over this. 

[Mrstacy]

So..the one lower right cf was revealed to be Elon.  Do we know others yet?  One looks to be SBF has an afro style hair

[MahlNinja]

Don't think it's sbf. Toynk was like we only got one right(elon)

Went over very badly on Reddit. I'm ok with it. Hope sweets gets compensated somehow though.

Hmm ok. In a week we'll know

Has this ever been done before? Wouldn't it make more sense to just destroy the cards that didn't make it into the Series 1 packs?

I get why they would want those cards to be distributed, but to me, it's part of the history of Series 1. A production error meant certain cards
never made it into the packs and that should remain as is.

Someone had the idea of inserting the missing S1 meta-rare cards into S2 and call them "retro meta-rares"
I like that idea

I agree with you
Should have just let Series 1 be done and move on to Series 2 with no additions

That would have been my opinion, but the decision was made.
But anyway, now I'm looking forward to the new series which comes out in 2 days and of which also some sealed packs remain on the shelf.

Had so much fun with series 1 discovering all the cards.   Cant wait for series 2.  Ill order some once they are released.  I agree some of the promo images are a bit underwhelming, but the excitement is going to lay in pulling all the new cards.  Once these are released I will have to avoid reddit and this thread until I get some and open them myself.  Each card pull is exciting before you know what all is available.  Cant wait!

[Mrstacy]

Often times, Panini has special early adopter boxes called first off the line. I wish I had mentioned it earlier.  The FOTL have special cards inserted.   that would double the anticipation
