I would like to find a checklist of the cryptocurrency rookie and get one of each parallel but I don't know how many parallels they are etc

The pink wrapper?? Cool. How far back? Mid 80s?

Nice starter set on ebay right now.  Includes 3 black labels psa 10 . (Not mine). Given current pricing of base cards getting 50 bucks.  A black border easily worth 4x that

I also was interested in the cryptocurrency rookie card .. I have a bunch of garbage pail series 1 I discovered all neatly kept in plastic ..

gonna be sending them out to be graded .. also unwrapped an 1888 Goodwin company , old judge cigerrete card of Cap Anson .. and one in even better condition of a guy names Stovey L.F. of the Athletics .. gonna send these to bgs I think and hold .. did consider selling them

you may recall, this went to one of the big card consignment houses during a time when these cards weren't getting much attention.  it sold for only 1200 or so then.  this is a unicorn as being 1 of 25 or so of its kind getting a 10, so.. i can't blame him for pushing the envelope. (and whole desk it appears)

For ONLY $40,000 you can own a 2018 Crypto Card #83 X Mini PSA 10

interest in these cards increasing rapidly.  Starting to get $50 for Psa 10 Base cards.  Just keep hodling if you've got rare ones.  i see some ultra rare ones (red x, psa 10 mini x) on ebay at what could be a bargain if the card becomes like the black lotus card.

happy card hunting.

Makes sense.  Especially now that bitcoin has soared.  One gauge of interest in these cards is the price of the PSA 10 base card.  It was about 30-40 during initial release and now has returned to those levels.  So, if you have any graded cards, hold on them until you get your price.  Also, PSA takes a super long time now to return your cards.  The buyers are mostly paying to avoid a long wait.  That has a lot of value.  Also, PSA base rate to grade without a subscription is 50 bucks.   Even with an account, it is 15 bucks.

Hey all

Having spent mega thousands of dollars searching unopened packs and boxes of the 2018 A&G topps cards hoping to find the rare red or silver mini x I can assure you the bitcoin collector who has the funds and really desires the super rare bitcoin card will have no problem paying 6 figures for one of these cards.  It's just a matter of when these cards explode like the magic lotus card.  Look at what a 1997-98 skybox precious gem red Michael Jordan sold for.  Well into 6 figures and it didn't even have a grade because it was altered.  i am holding my super rare 2018 A&G x mini red until it becomes the flavor of the month on btc whales collectors must have list

This is just my opinion and always willing to listen to others

All the best, the dolphin

i would sell here a complete collection of the following series:

Allen & Ginter 'American Indian Chiefs' A Nostalgia reprint collection
Churchman's Picture Cards 'Boxing Personalities' collection

both collections are in mint condition and sealed
if someone is interested i can send him some pictures

I'm not being a wiseacre whatever that is.  I am giving you an assessment of what I think and I dont believe $100k is the market for this card.  Sorry but crypto is still so niche whereas sports are not.  It's a fact.  The demand for these cards is basically us here on the forum and if you think people are going to drop 10btc on this versus something like a loaded cas 10 I dont think you understand either the card market or crypto market all that well

You can disagree on facts all you want. Being a wiseacre your references don't add up.  Starting with the spelling of the sports stars you have referenced and the quoted inaccurate selling prices.   I know I can't make everyone happy, calumniators are going to calumniate!

Have a great day, sir!

We can agree to disagree.  Good luck with your sale

Does someone know the odds of pulling a Gretzky RC and Jordan 86 Fleer? It is my understanding that one of the BGS 10 Jordan card received a 100k in the memory lane Inc sale. That card was not a 1/1 and definitely is not the only one. There are 6 BGS 10 and 313 PSA 10 currently in population.

To answer your question, Yes it should be over 100k and I believe it will. Connor McDavid 2015/16 RC #97/99 sold for 135,000 (one example). To mention, that was a PSA 9 as well. Is McDavid better than Gretzky?? (absolutely not, IMO) This is not eclipsing any sports card records, not yet at least, maybe it could for you?!. Mike trout RC sold for 180,000 to Vegas Dave and then he sold it for 900,000 is Trout the best player ever? Also that was #/5  there are still 4 out there. Look up itsvegasdave on youtube. "Vegas Dave sells 900,000 trout baseball card" Who is bat shit crazy?

This is the 1/1 rookie card for cryptocurrency. Why did someone pay $6500 for a mini card #25 (hand written even) or why is there 86 pages for this single baseball card/cryptocurrency #83? This card is the real deal for bitcoin enthusiast and collectors.  You can reference all of these facts on the web. Someone can send over 10 Bitcoins to my coinbase account and maybe this card can turn into 100 bitcoin for them down the road. This is an investment, just like bitcoin was for young Erik Finman's $1000.  

Consolidating my A&G collection of non-player cards like the famous EGG, Samesong, Bullpen Car, and Bomb. A lot of good stuff here. Would like to sell as one lot, or entire lot of each item. Open to trades, let me know if you see anything you likey

Got it, thanks. I did know the Silver Glossy had multiple printed. Interesting release that hopefully we're talking about years to come. I remember reading about the black minis where only at most 50 were printed and it reminded me if Honus Wagner which was over a 100. I think all of these - the wood, 1/1, brookie, red minis, x black minis, glowy, in various pricing levels appreciate massively over next couple decades. If China hears about them it will appreciate the pricing quicker. China massively increase pricing on Dr. J., Magic, Bird card as well as Jordan and Kobe, etc. Crypto and Basketball over there, barring things geopolitically cool down.

It is not salesmanship it is merely understanding the current sports cards genre and pricing.  While I admire you declining over $10k for the card I think you are bat shit crazy because what is this supposed to eclipse all sport card records?  I am not a buyer of the high priced crypto cards so maybe I'm "out of touch" but to say this should be higher priced than some of the most prized sports cards is well. ....a little insane

The grail of hockey in the gretsky rc you can get for under $10k
The grail of basketball jordon fleer 86 rookie you can get a cherry psa grade card for ~10k.  Why should this be over a hundred thousands dollars.  Cause topps made 1 of them...

Hi bucksbuck - nice pull. I also like how you're using my xrpchat posting in your ebay posting

So I had to chime in because I follow this thread. I think crypto cards are only going to appreciate from base and X 2018 A&G.

My question is, I'm confused what A&G did here? So the base set had a 'Glossy' 1/1? I have a 'Silver' Glossy PSA 10, with no number. Is a 1/1 in the base the 'actual card'? What was the point of numbering a Glossy but not numbering the Silver Glossy which implies a higher quality printing? I still think you get great money for it but a PSA 10 Red Mini out /5 would basically be the only one in existence in the better X set? Which unfortunately I don't have. The Wood? Even the X Black minis are priced below this base card? This kind of came out of nowhere. Not doubting it but it definitely reprices the market I would think? I hope this card does sell well because I think it greatly improves my PSA 10.

Here it is on ebay

@wheelz1200
I appreciate opinions,  I have already had 2 bids over 10k which I politely declined. It has been up for only 3 days. I am guessing the value you put on the card was what you would like to pay to have this in your collection and I appreciate the salesman approach you had choosen to take.

I have updated the OP to reflect the fact that the standard glossy is not handwritten.  Not sure where I got the info from originally, but seeing other examples on ebay with the typed 1/1 looks valid along with this card's PSA authenticity.  I have also included this card in the OP.  Congrats to bucksbuck on such a rare find! 

It has been professionally authenticated by the top grading company in the US. This is the first time anyone has viewed the photo of the glossy standard size 1/1. Mr. Hybridsole did such an amazing job in this thread, i felt it was necessary to post it here and also, hope to find a new home for it.  Anyone can reach out to PSA  and verify the validity.  You can view the 1/1 on the mini cards front. That is for the mini plates and mini, my cards #1/1 is on the back.  

The topps vault which is like topps now (if you know, then you know) puts out cards that you can purchase in auction or website which are nothing close to the retail cards. Ask a collector to compare topps vault or topps now to a retail card. Its like comparing an original Picasso by comparing it to a print.  There is not another card  like this one, no #/99, #/50, #/25 , #/5 . This is the holy grail, for the bitcoin rookie card. Feel free to ask me any other questions.

Yes, it is my Unicorn.
