   Holo: 53,34
   CS: 57

Can you please post a pic of the MR 3 holofoil?
I don't think this has been seem yet by most collectors here, I don't see it on MJ's tracking list

Thanks for sharing but that's the CS version of the card, we are looking for a pic of the true holofoil MR card (the one with the 1:124 odds)
The CS meta-rare cards are no where near as rare as the HF versions, we still haven't even a few of the MR holofoil cards.

Did anyone redeeming a set for a Diamond refractor fill out the form on the link below?
I don't remember filling it out myself or seeing it before, I just got the first confirmation with a form to fill out and sent in my set.
Is this something we need to fill out be for receiving the Diamond refractor?
https://cardsmiths.com/pages/currency-series-1-redemptions

Ok. My bad on mislabeling the mr3. Could it be none were made? Normally a CS is more rare than a holo.

Yes. I filled out a form before sending and waited for confirmation email

No problems, easy mistake to make. I was just excited to see the HF version of the MR 3
Usually the CS cards are more rare than the HF version, when i noticed the crystal sparkle MR cards being pulled at a much lower rate than 1:124 it was explained here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61181212

So the CS MR cards are not true meta-rare cards, they are rare, just not as rare as the HF version. (Most case breaks have about 4 crystal sparkle MR cards, whereas you will be lucky to even get 1 holofoil MR in a case)

Regarding the base set redemption program, did you fill out the form online now asking for the Redemption Code?
I only remember being asked to fill out the form when accepted and that was sent back with the set.

Did the original form we filled out ask for a Redemption Code? I don't remember seeing that, and even if it did ask none of us would have had one before actually being accepted

You have it correct. Just meaning that there are no specific "Hot Cases" that we have labeled or would even know how to identify which might have a better hit rate in terms of the crypto card redemption denomination or types of variant cards within the case like multiple 1/1 or 1/5 Gemstones for example.

In the sports and TCG card world many manufacturers will order "Hot Boxes" or even "God Cases" from the printer that have an outsized number of hits and/or quality of hits within the case. Often they will send these to VIP's, key influencers, or breakers to give the impression that their product is loaded with nothing but great hits.

We find that sort of practice offensive and insulting to collectors, so it's not something we will be engaging in. When the warehouse pulls boxes or cases to ship. we have no idea what's in them which is the way we like it.

Sorry I'm confused as well. My understanding is that redemption card are not exclusive to cases. Can a box or pack (as opposed to a case) also have a redemption card?

I'm guessing they are opening cases at the warehouse to fill single box orders, so if there is a redemption card in that case, some lucky buyer could get it by just purchasing a single box.
If you order a case you will get a fresh case, guaranteed to have a redemption card inside

That would make sense less confused now ty

Cleaned out my closest Gamestop of 3 boxes. I think there are 8 stores left in the area. should have them all emptied within the week. So nice to want to buy a box and not have to wait a week to get them. Here is the tally from my 3 boxes

21- base cards, some good ones #4,5,10,29,30, 21,22,32
4- holofoil cards #29,34,38, and the Lambo!
3- crystal sparkle #38,47 and the Lambo!
1- MR7 Holofoil
1- Beryll refractor #49 bag holders

Pretty good pull I think

Good pulls for sure. Cardsmiths has pretty good roi. With about 100 dollar investment. You should get that back on MR and beryl alone. The CS cards worth 12 each low end and foils 6 bucks.

With more collectors. the value goes up

Four boxes from two GameStop's and nothing of note. xSlyy definitely got some lucky boxes.

Hate when that happens. There goes my in store hot box theory.

Once word gets out on how a box could realistically have a 250 usd .01 btc redemption, these will fly .

Still hoping these go on blowout cards. Folks have more spending power if they use comc credits there. . And they send out constant email blasts marketing new products

I can tell you unequivocally that there are no such thing as "hot boxes". The warehouse team pulled the Gamestop units completely at random from the on hand supply. It's total luck of the draw.

Even if we wanted to pull a "hot case" from inventory to send to a VIP or whatever, we'd have no idea which case to pull. Maybe we should have thought to do that, but didn't occur to us at the time. Embarrassed

One thing that did happen when we received the pallets from the printer was the warehouse team spent 12 hours over two days breaking down the pallets, mixing up the cases, and rebuilding the pallets. That way, even if the factory had (despite our instructions) "track packed" the redemption card values in consecutive cases, we wanted to make sure redemption values were even more randomized. So far, the effort seems to have paid off as the redemption values are all over the map.

I’m confused. I thought it was 1 redemption per case - no more, no less. Am I wrong?

Welcome to the forum! GameStop having ‘hot boxes’ was only speculation. And after JUPITYR’s post above we now know they implemented steps to randomize the distribution.

Great to see the cards Spreading out across the land to multiple stores. I noticed that Cardsmiths increased their price for boxes to $33. Still same price for quarter case and full case.

They are still $30 at GameStop. Just bought two packs.

Update: From four boxes I received a CF Nikola Tesla, a Beryl #24 The Moon 088/149 and a CS MR5. I should leave some GameStop boxes for other people Grin

Nice score from a few boxes, well done

A wee bit off center

Someone snagged it 10 bucks too low for a CS also uniquely off center

After putting together the CS set, I can say those low-numbered ones can be tough to find, that was a good deal at $10. I think being off-centered is less desireable in card-collecting, whereas it is more desireable in most numismatics.
