You can always send it Registered Mail.  If you were to pull a 1 BTC we would also be happy to make special arrangements. 

Not the redemption card itself, but we do send you a "Redeemed" version of the card back. 

  Ok so here is my question…I bought a box of 12….will be keeping this sealed for now.

  Is there an expiration on when I can redeem any redemption card? So if I decide to open in 2 years time and redeem?

Also would love to know how many redemptions are left out there not claimed. Anyway to find this out? Thanks!

That sounds like a horrible process, why would you ever have to mail it in? Aren't there serial numbers on the redemption cards? What if the redemption card gets lost in the mail 🤔 I guarantee if I was to get anything larger  than .01 btc I would never trust any mail service with it lol
I have tried 0 so far but really would like a btc funded  ballet wallet for my collection if anyone is willing to part with theirs please send me a message 😉

Well I wasn't really complaining - mainly joking around.  Even talked a card buddy into buying some - I think he's on his 6th box ordered.

Here's my stats:

25 boxes ordered - 13 random singles and a 12 box 1/4 case

All base cards except 3

Best wins: #59 68/99, #5 04/99, #14 014/149

2 redemptions -  1 LTC and 0.01 BTC

The quality and randomness of the cards is top notch

100% satisfied and could easily make my money back if I wanted to but I'm a hoarder

Unfortunately, you don't keep the redemption card anyway...  Once you fill out the redemption form, they request you send it in to get your crypto.  So, in the grand scheme of things, I guess it really doesn't matter.

Understandable.  All of the possible coin types are represented on the card and there are more BTC redemptions by far, so it seemed fitting to have that be the main coin represented on the card. 

Congrats on finding a Redemption Card though!  Only 2125 in existence. 

My biggest complaint is the BTC logo on redemption cards no matter what crypto you win....







Most will say its no big deal until you pull that 1 LTC card - - -


Lol I thought I won the big one for a second

First redemption wallet cards are shipping out today and tomorrow!

Very good point, i am assuming these prices will only be valid once cases are sold out

Seems to me you could just buy a case for less than $1,500 & you’re guaranteed a redemption card.  This seller is getting all the rest of the cards for free.

I agree, i can't see anyone purchasing a redemption card for 10k, but i am guessing one for $1500 might temp some

Thanks, J

A case has 4 smaller sealed boxes of 12 boxes each with 2 packs of cards.
I opened some, catalogued and weighed the 12 boxes, individual boxes (two packs), and individual packs.
In my small sample size there was no pattern for the location of redemption cards, refractors, MR, or CF cards within in the full case, or smaller 12 box case.

The redemption cards are normal cardstock like the base cards.
Boxes (of two cards) weighed about 44-45g, most at 44g containing two 14g packs.
*Most of the time* a 45g box had one pack that was 15g, but not always.

Packs were always either 14g or 15g.
Packs that weighed 15g *usually* had a refractor (orange, green, purple, red etc.) always in the third spot of five cards.
Packs with MR, CF or redemption card were always 14g. MR, CF, and redemption cards were either 2nd or 4th spots.
This means packs with only base cards/HF/CS are the same as the ones with redemption cards. So purchasing on the secondary market is still a big risk with really no reward, unless you are looking for the refractors I guess, then 15g packs are higher chance of a good pull.

FWIW, the bottom pack in the box (if you open the tab up) *usually* but not always was the one of two with the crystal sparkle card. Holofoil cards are the 3rd card, crystal sparkle are the 2nd card if there is one. 

Hope this helps. Happy hunting!

when will my order be shipped . its stuck on USPS Currently Awaiting Package since July 20. all previous order arrive . same day ordered.   

Great questions.

All boxes are shrink wrapped with Cardsmiths logo cellophane wrapping.  Both ends of the boxes are sealed with tamper evident holographic stickers.

The redemption cards are not metal.  They are standard, holographic trading card stock.

Are the individual boxes sealed?  And, are the redemption cards plastic or metal?  I'm concerned if they're metal, people *might* try weighing the boxes and finding ones that are heavier as happened with the "Inverted Jenny" aircraft stamp from the USPS a couple of years ago where a redemption card was randomly inserted into packs and a few of the dealers were walking away with the prizes.

I'm referring to the secondary market, not this market.

FYI...anyone waiting for their order to be shipped.

Individual box(es) orders are going out today.

Sealed inner and master carton orders will ship once the main/final shipment is received from the printer.

Thank you for your patience!

No one had to contact PSA to see if they'd grade the 2018 Topps Ginter thin paper, only for entertainment, hard to get a 10, cards. Sooo many differences.

Cardsmiths have thick cards, curling...but nice looking. Maaaaybe they'll be valuable. I just don't think they're going to compare the the Topps cards. And I think the industry is going to agree with me. Yes, a few rarer ones will become sought after...mostly by us.
*But maaaybe we'll have a situation where there will be another:

After all, the cards weren't free to get, so there is some value here. I'll admit, some very beautiful cards. I guess that time will tell the tale if a cartoon unicorn Emerald numbered 09/99(is worth half a Grand)or any of the other, very much, less appealing cards will compare with top sports athletes in the world and Pannini, Topps, Donrus, ect....for low numbered cards or autographs etc. And I'm going to say it, the 2018 Topps Ginter #83 card, done 4 years prior.


No Mo FOMO!!!
