Raw Full-sized x in final two hours.   can't be too many of these around givein that packs are 600 bucks each (psa 10)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324567051722

So if you want to try and get a PSA 10 you can add another 300.00 to whatever selling price this ends up.  

Card sold for 420 which is all-time high i think for this variety

I think you are right for an ungraded.  Never know how it will grade but grading cost isn't cheap.

A rare Brooklyn back of the legendary 83 Cryptocurrency card was listed on ebay and sold quickly (I wasn't buyer or seller btw).  Things are heating up still

Notable sale

Raw 2018 Topps Allen and Ginter 83 Cryptocurrency - April 18, 2021 - $7,000 (price confirmed on slabwatch)

Let me know your thoughts.  Another one sold for almost 1k more, so this is a steal imho.

I would prefer a graded one, anyway a psa 10 is certainly into the 5 figures for sure.

With the #83 continuing on its path to new highs I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to purchase one of the cards, if it falls within your budget, to get authenticated/graded ones.  Most card collectors know that unauthorized reprints start showing up when there is money to be made.  Anyway just be cautious when purchasing these cards.  If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS.

Went through my book and found several extra base cards Smiley

The Acuna Jr cards are going up, too

Also, the market will get flooded with the cards that have been issued a lower grade by PSA. Cracked 5's etc...Like what happened to GreenPlastic. Gotta be mindful of that as well.  Undecided

Personally I would rather have a low grade than an ungraded card when reprints hit big

Yeah seeing prices go up only increases the chances that reprints are coming if not already here and this card doesn't look all that intricate to reprint.  Buying authenticated cards does help but its not fulproof.  

The ones I could see being reprinted  are the no #'s since they arn't numbered but, limited to 50 and highly desired, also the glow in the dark.  Until there are 50 graded no #'s the risk is high.  The risk of the black mini x and regular will be very high and the #1 #2 #3 red mini and silver mini you can add to the list.

It IS a personal opinion......one that only time will tell....and my money's on the 1 of 1's.  Cheesy  We can revisit this in 10 years, and see who's right.
That being said, I don't think anyone would turn down a plate, if one were offered. Collectors, all of us, ALL of these variations are very cool.  Wink

also in the card collecting world printing plates dont usually fetch anywhere close to regular 1/1 cards. often times they wont sell for more than 10% off what a regular 1/1 if the same card would do

Did you read this somewhere or has this been from your own experience.  Have you ever owned all four printing plates?  You may be correct, but as far as the #83 printing plate goes, I would strongly disagree with any general statement on card collecting. 

no i didnt read that somewhere lol, its just been that way for printing plates for sports cards
is the CC plate pack pulled or someone got them from topps somehow? if its pack pulled (at least to card collectors) its still a 1/1 but like i said in the post above, theyre worth considerably less than a cardboard 1/1

maybe someone on here would pay the high for it.. but the general card market wouldnt. just check ebay sold listings to see how much printing plates sell for

and all printing plates are 1/1's


Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  I threw away the book when it comes to the #83.  I will stand firm on my opinion that the 4 printing plates together is hands down the greatest achievement and by far the most valuable.  I would personally rather own all 4 plates than all the other 1/1 's, 1/5's 1/25"s and 1/50.  Personal opinions is what makes all of this such fun and enjoyment for me anyway. 

Again, these printing plates are not just an average printing plate. This cryptocurrency collectors market is pretty aggressive for cool things, especially 1 of 1’s and these plates would fetch far more than most of not all plates selling on eBay. They were pulled from packs and several sold at very low amounts at one point, but the market has grown 1000 x over for them since then. I would absolutely love to own one of these.

The black cards come from the X Hobby box, current asking price $10,000 in Ebay, for a box of those.

Does anyone have any idea what this is? I had a few random packs of 2018 A&G I just opened (not an X pack). No markings, lower corners of card are rounded. It’s looks like a hologram on the card over the top of something that appears to resemble a baseball home plate in the lower left corner. It was the last card in a pack. Probably nothing but a spacer or something, thought I would ask?

I had a bunch of these too. I bought 2-3 boxes of 2018 A&G..the hobby box and whatever that other one is called..and I could swear in one of the boxes every single pack had one in them. Maybe every other pack..either way there was a bunch. I’m surprised you hadn’t seen them before.

I agree, I think that collectors would rather have the actual card than a faded plate. Most of us in here, if we were being honest, would agree with that. ANY 1/1 card is ultimately EVERY card collectors dream. The fact that THESE plates are #83 Cryptocurrency plates does make them "special", but each one would be 1/4 the cost of a 1 of 1 card, logically. Kinda like the Red Mini's, rare and really nice to have, but plates are far less desirable than a UNICORN card.  Cry   But hey...I do enjoy rainbows in the sky!!! Wink
