Congrats on the win TxCryptoKid! Hope to see more of these uncut sheet giveaways in the future. Maybe add a special artwork to the back of the sheet next time for extra counterfeit protection also. Cheers all~

Congrats to TxCryptoKid and thanks again to minerjones and Cardsmiths!

Not sure how I ended up with 2 spots, although it didn't help me win

Yes. Will add you to the list

I also just bought a box this week, and a couple cards on eBay too! Not sure if they will arrive in time. I will PM you details.

Can I get #92 please?

I've ordered two boxes, but there in the mail.

I'd like to pick 67 if I could, please?

I'd ask Charlie to sign that one for you.

   Hope you like it!  You should try looking for some of your Gemstone Refractors!

A bit narcissistic, but here we go.

i have ordererd teh cards

This sheets value will far outweigh the value of individual beryll cards. Its a one of kind uncut sheet. As of now the only one out there. Only an idiot would cut it up. But, sure, put something on the back to distinguish it. Might i suggest signatures from the creators.  That would be awesome

This is indeed just a test print of the front side of these cards. 

The reverse side of the cards in the set would contain a unique, hot-foil stamp number and a hot-foil stamp (with unique pattern) Cardsmiths "C" icon logo.  Even if you have the front side, you would have a hard time pulling off the back unless you destroy another card of that same type in the process.  However, if you already have such a card, why would you destroy it just to use one form the sheet in a nefarious way?

Also, Panini and Topps have inserted printing plates or given them away as redemptions in the past. True, one can not simply take that broken down plate and recreate cards with it.  However, you could use it as a basis from which to create new printing plates of that card.

I also don't think I agree with the premise that just because a card is a "base" card that it is any more or less acceptable to be offered in terms of a contest.  Fakes are fakes and none are acceptable in my opinion.

If we were concerned that it would be easy to pass the cards from this sheet off as fakes, we would not be offering it in this way.  Ultimately, anyone can copy anything if they so choose.  Million dollar paintings and sculptures are routinely faked. 

This board has been very supportive of our set and we felt we needed to reward that support in a meaningful way.  If you disagree with what we are doing, feel free to not purchase or participate.  It certainly is your choice.

I cannot say I disagree - I just hope there is something that distinguishes it - either in marking or size that would prohibit them being used fraudulently

Hey Mopar!

You've highlighted another issue with this giveaway. Your hope cannot be addressed by the manor this is being released to market. Price will be speculative unless the winner sells.

Topps will sell at auction blank back half finished cards from the Topps vault. They put a hologram on back. The card is sold publicly. A value is realized and set. Those are always base cards. Never refractors.

As for sheets, well for the 2018 ginter release, Topps released not entire sheets, but rather 3 mini cards connected, uncut as a single unit. Also released at auction. Also base mini card.

The difference I see between the 3 card & the entire sheet here is that this sheet has a lot of extra material around the borders. This allows for plenty practice cutting a good edge.

Further, let's say one particular card takes off to the stratosphere in value. There are plenty of other lesser value uncut cards to practice on in order to perfect completion of the reverse side of a card.

At best - release of this item is giving away a half completed product... And it's the hard half...of a chase card.

Not only should this not be released to the market in this manner, but it should be destroyed.

Again, base cards would be a different matter.

 
Held in Customs. Your item is being held in Customs at 9:13 am on August 21, 2022 in FRANKFURT/FLUGHAFEN, GERMANY.

I guess this was the best looking (prefer the Bitcoin cards though) and rarest of the bunch I got:

I can see the validity in your concern. I would hope that the value of the sheet intact would outweigh the value of cutting it to fraudulently use them as individual cards. but if there was some distinguishing mark that would be better.

Good to see ya Ticked!

Should any one of these cards take off in value, cutting the sheet, and stamping the back with a serial number yet to be seen online would be a distinct possibility.

Even if the back of the sheet is entirely blank, at the right valuation, releasing this sheet would still pose a risk of fraudulent items on secondary market.

Though I appreciate the idea of giving back to the forum, I cannot see a way that there isn't a credibility risk at hand.

I purchased a case before this thread came up. As a collector, I now have second thoughts of opening, keeping, returning the product when my initial intention was this to be my first of multiple purchases.

If there is some distinguishing factor that makes this print differentiable between the pack released cards, it could maybe quell this risk.

Please consider.

EDIT: If this was a sheet of base cards, there is no concern imo.

Looking good so far.  Keep the images coming!

Cool raffle! I will take #66, please



Good luck everyone!

Yup, all good
I know there are a few international orders (from me and the company) that have not arrived, but we know you have purchased cards and are eligible for the raffle

It looks like they arrived in the country last week, so should only be a few days before I get them.

I can provide proof of purchase if it looks close to filling up before I receive them.
