Is it just me or do the meta-rare cards seem to be more common than the stated odds (1:124)

I just watched a break on YouTube and they pulled about 4 from a case
Also HouseOfBAMF pulled 4 from their case.

Could the 1:124 odds maybe relate to a gemstone version of the MR cards, not a HF or CR versions..

Great question.

While the Meta-Rare card art shows up in the Crystal Sparkle (borderless) foil slots, those are not technically the Meta-Rare "Refractors". Refractors are much thicker card stock and go through a lamination process that the other foils do not. Also, the Refractor background has a rainbow effect with no "sparkle" in the foil pattern. If you put them next to each other you will quickly start to spot the differences.

It was not originally intended for the Meta-Rare art to show up in the Crystal Sparkle slot, but we had to have something go wrong. ;-)

Regardless, the actual refractors should still only appear 1:124 packs as indicated.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for jumping in.
So the odds of finding a CS meta-rare would be less than 1:124
Would you say the card shown on the link below is a "real" meta-rare card?

Yes... the MR cards also come in the Holofoil variation.
6 of the 11 have been seen so far!! Cheesy

And 10 of Crystal Sparkle MR cards have been seen.. just missing the MR8 Year of the Ox

Happy to accept pics of any Refractor or MR cards for the card pics archive

Here are a few of the MR cards w/ both their HF and CS cards:

Got to keep going for all the holos and sparkles now. Pretty much everytime i open packs i get enough cards that sell on secondary market to cover the cost of the packs. Not that im selling them, but the strong secondary has been impressive. Just wait 5 years when all the cards are sold out and ebay starts to dry up. These are probably a better return than your 401k.

I keep making base card sets I think I have 4 now… working on holifoil and CS sets now…

Contemplating getting another large box but I have so many extra base cards as it is…

Where are you selling your extras?

[/quote] im not selling them. So many base cards theres no market for base cards yet. In years there will be a market but not now. Was thinking about a card burn.. like a token burn. Everyone burns some base cards and post pics. Decrease the overall market.
[/quote]
Haha, i love it. Wait till i have my base set together before the burn please Cheesy

If you need any CS or HF cards let me know what ones and i might be able to help you out. All you would need to cover is shipping costs.
I am just happy to make a base set, hopefully one with all the MR cards too

I bought 25 packs total. 13 randomly and then 1 - 12 pack 1/4 case. Received 3 numbered cards /149 x2 and /99. and also 2 redemptions (.01 btc and 1 ltc). I kicked the habit as I finished out a complete set of base cards, but now you guys are drawing me back in.

I will say the redemption process was easy. The cards are great quality and AWESOME.

Anyone know what it would take to frame my 60 base card set? These have too good of art to just be sitting in a drawer.

Dang! sounds like you made out pretty good! Glad to hear the redemption part was easy I still gotta go through the process for mine.

I put all mine in sleeves then top loaders numerical order in a binder that takes top loaders. All the really rare gemstone refractor ones are in snap slabs

Yeah MR refractor definitely pretty rare. Ive only seen a handful and do not own any. I have my eye on a ruby MR5 on EBAY but not sure if I want to fork over the fiat. not sure about official odds, but if there are 341 refractors for each MR card. Then that is a 1/2932 chance for pulling a refractor for that specific card.

The Cardsmiths website under series 1 currency has a image of the pack odds. Also if you scroll back coinagemint has attached a thread of another topic on these cards. Minerjones did some very nice posts on it. I don’t think anyone has disclosed the actual odds of what your asking and I haven’t seen anything about the cold foil numbers either.

Coinagemint has clarified some things… the numbers are infact pack odds not out of said number of cards. the MR cards are really rare and I haven’t seen anything about variations yet but someone on here may have touched on that with a separate thread.

JUPITYR helped with this project. He posted on the first page of the thread. Maybe send him a PM that’s who I would ask for clarification as he was a part of the project and would likely have more information than the average collector.

So if the odds of getting a MR are 1:124 packs, and the odds of getting a CS are 1:10 packs, does that mean the odds of getting a MR CS are 1:1240 packs, or 1 in 6200 cards?

480 cards total 4 meta rare… I would say it’s 1:120 odds of getting one per card for the meta rare. The cold foil and the redeemable cards seem to be the most rare to me both have been 1:480 cards

The odds I quoted are per pack (sorry, I should have made that clear), Meta-Rare Refractors are stated as being 1:124 packs Huh

Is there a difference between meta-rare and meta-rare refractors?

The redemption cards are 1:96 packs (48 boxes) so 1 per case.
The CF cards are very rare, exact odds not known

Edit: This post shows a breakdown of the odds:

(The post has an error, holofoil cards have a boarder and the crystal sparkle version is borderless)

So you got 4x Meta-Rare cards in 1 case, that's amazing considering the odds of finding one (1:124).
The MR5 holofoil with the gold boarder is definitely a keeper, beautiful card and in my opinion better looking than the CS version.

It still looks like more crystal sparkle MR's are showing up than the holofoil versions so far.
The MR4 and MR4a are the most common meta-rare cards I have seen.

Congrats on the gemstone cards, you got some nice ones there.
I would love to see pics of your gemstone refractor collection.

As a newbie I don't think you can post pics unless you upgrade your account, or become a member.
Only way around it is to upload some pics to an image hosting site and post the link, I think that's allowed...

Yes, the largest box, it has 4 boxes that contained 12-2 pack boxes in each a total of 96-5 card packs

MR4 (no border), MR4A (no border),MR4A (no border),MR5 (has yellow border). Total of 4 cards one duplicate

That’s the exact card so I guess it is the cold foil

The lambo is the One I’m missing for a foil set

I’m just now noticing the difference with the CS and foil cards

I’ve been putting all the cards in sleeves and top loaders and have top loader binders…

Gold; #12 7/10 #57 7/10

Emerald; #18 99/99 #1 10/99

Beryl; #46 121/149 #45 122/149 #59 103/149 #33 127/149. #57 66/149 # 55 70/149

And I see the Elon musk selling for a lot but I got a lot of those seemed pretty common with reflector/CS and type A I got like 3 sets of base and 2 of each of the other types…

Thanks for the info on the trade thread! Gotta check it out. How do you post photos from a I phone?

This is my first post and wanted to share what I got out of the collector box (largest box) it took all packs to get a complete set of base cards. My bitcoin redemption card was for .001 btc. I got a 5000 dogecoin card not redeemable? 10gem cards, 3 meta cards, and seems true 3 reflectors/holifoils per individual box. I am 3 cards shy of a reflector/holifoil set with many extras…
Most common cards #2 #15 #8 #3 #51 #39 #42 #41

Missing base cards for 2nd complete set #7 #30

I don’t know how to attach photos yet but when I figure that out I can post how I have them sorted and slabbed.

Thanks for sharing.
Was the case you purchased 48 boxes? (96 packs in total)
If so 3x meta-rare cards is very good, considering they are apparently 1:124 packs (This is why i wish case hits and above were numbered cards)
What MR cards did you get? Were they holofoil or the boarder less crystal sparkle versions?

1x redemption card is standard per case, sorry you didn't hit something bigger.
The 5000 doge card you speak of, are you sure that is not the CF Shiba inu card? Shown here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60617106

What holofoil and crystal sparkle cards do you need?
I suggest you post in the trade thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5407863.40
