[ANN/INFO] CARDSMITHS - CURRENCY SERIES 2 TRADING CARDS - NEW FOR 2023

[StorageCold]

There's apparently some big drama on the Reddit discussion about the distribution of the Series 2 cards.

Anyone here opened enough cases/boxes to shed some light?

There's apparently some big drama on the Reddit discussion about the distribution of the Series 2 cards.

Anyone here opened enough cases/boxes to shed some light?

i had the same thoughts. as example i haven't seen a single Nick Szabo refractor that was pulled.
And that is just the one card that i was following. From my view it looked like all the first batch of series 2 that were shipped didn't had some cards at all. And there was no chances to get them.
I could be wrong, but yet again, as example : card #36. Anyone seen it in gem anywhere?

I just hope I have cash ready when the series 1 mr's drop. I need to prepare.

Any word of a diamond redemption this time?

  Sounds like they will do diamonds, but will be much tougher to get. There was a hint it could be sending in a Crystal sparkle set.

Oh wow ok. That's definitely going to be harder. Especially with all the packs not being mixed. Several people are saying their packs are dupes. Some mix up with the sorting I guess. I have only ripped 3 packs. Because Im not that impresses tbh. But I love to rip and will have some fun. Just not going as hard as I did with series 1.  But good to know.

  Nothing for certain. He did say it would be harder to get. they had these sorting issues with 1 too. i had to wait till the last cases before #27 golds came out. Its just what they do with the gemstones. the sparkles, holos and iced foils should be fully out.

Are we still tracking Series 2 here? I just opened up a master case and can post results. Kinda surprised that there's no activity here for Series 2 - more activity on the subreddit

[StorageCold]

Definitely post your results here. There's a different group dynamic here. Many more collectors that started with Series 1 before the Diamond redemption program. The subreddit is cool for what it is, but more of a shitcoiner mentality there.

Will be interesting to see if they do another Diamond or other redemption program for Series 2. Many of the subreddit people only started collecting after GameStop started selling the cards. They were salty that they missed out on the Diamonds and quite a few claim that the 1/1 Diamond refractors aren't official Series 1 Currency cards and they don't consider them part of the set. I'm sure they will change their tune with a Series 2 redemption program because they actually have a chance to get in on it this time.

Guess ill kickstart the party -

Obviously, i pulled more from the Master Case, but this is the tally for myself, counting it as one each. Did complete a full base set. Almost 2 in fact, sly of one card.

Some crossover with Reddit, but definitely a different crowd here.   Would like to see the discussion continue on this side with the OG fans.  :-)

I've checked out the Series 2 cards and I am disappointed. The quality of the cards and the gamification are improved.

The art is bad. It's as if they came up with ideas for a card, did a little sketch and said... this is good enough... onto the next card.
There are definitely a few cool cards in the series, but overall, it feels rushed and unintelligent in design.

There appears to be less congruence in this series. The tone and feel of the set is just... what is it? The only word I can think of is, lame.

It's unfortunate, as I collected Series 1 with some serious fervor.

Couldn’t agree more. This is series two in a nutshell. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is. I have been accumulating but not like I did series 1. There are some card designs in series 2 that make tally sticks interesting. 🤨 More of the designs seem to have less and less to do with crypto, with many just having ‘art’ of items that have sold for money, so this somehow qualifies as a currency related card. Using this criteria would qualify literally anything as justification for a Cardsmiths currency card. I was hoping they would incorporate more alt coin art, instead there are more random things used as currency at some point in history or historically significant figures in history, some having some connection to currency, other not.. I get that it is a ‘currency’ card franchise but the primary base of collectors came from the crypto space. This is what made the cards interesting, and the art was captivating, mostly. They did improve the quality and presentation of the cards in many ways but overall, I couldn’t agree more with the statements mentioned in the quote above. To sum it up… Lame

Holiday packs sold out as a pre-sale. I went to buy some last week and they were already gone, all 2023 packs. Holy cow.
If anyone has some spare unopened holiday 2023 packs, let me know. Would love to pick up a few.
