That solar powered solar eclipse that I gave away, went to a well respected member of this forum. Glad that he got it.

Me too, I am hoping the silver mini #83 will show up in one of the two remaining boxes owned by members on this forum.  As far as I know there are only three boxes left unopened unless there are some that have been tucked away and never opened.

I can assure you that there are probably dozens of Ginter X cases — not boxes, cases — left sealed and unopened. That's what pro card sellers do. They buy several cases at a time, store them sealed and in pristine condition, then place them on the market years later. Just because we don't see them on eBay doesn't mean they don't exist. (Lots of negatives in that sentence, but you know what I mean.)

However, I do hope that you pull the silver mini in one of your remaining boxes. It would be nice to see it found by a forum member. Good luck.

Regards,
Me

i don't doubt your experience, but when the boxes go for 500 bucks that has to get one's attention.  Do they think this crypto card is going to go even higher!!??  The rookies for that year are ok, but there is no George Brett, right?

jeez, i should probably pull all mine out, and the trusty 1980's blacklight to check. Tongue

Just a heads up, if you have the silver glossy #83 or the glow in the dark, hang onto those since they are no longer being made.   Cool Cool

if you see a glossy of any card, please post a picture or link.  Never seen one a full-size one if that is what you mean.

Someone scored the total solar eclipse glow in the dark on Ebay.   Congratulations whomever it is.

Whoever picked up the solar glowie made a nice investment.

Wink wink.  Grin

Always liked the Total Solar Eclipse, but with the glow one like having sun and moon on same card.   Very cool.

Supposedly there was one glowie per hobby case so at that amount there would be two glowie's per card based on 700 cases.  700 hobby cases would be quite a lot of cases.  I know that two #83 glowie's have shown up.  One bullpen car, one cyclone bomb and now one solar.  I don't know of any other's from the special inserts.

I looked on PSA to see how many total glow in the darks were graded for the entire set and there were only eleven.  No #83's at all.  Who here has seen an actual #83 glowie other than in a photo?  Just curious Cool Cool

Like you said, the glowie's are no longer made.  The #83 was only made in 2018 making the #83 glowie double exceptionally super rare.  Whoever picked up the solar glowie made a nice investment.

I purchased and flipped one. I had it graded and they mislabeled it as plain mini - PSA 10.  i have teo others mislabeled of regular players. so PSA does make mistakes.

So you had a red mini #83 and a glow in the dark #83.  Were those the rarest of the #83's that you had?

Correct. Never seen a 1/1 even though i was onlne when the person that found the mini glossy posted here.  he initially listed for one price and increased it by a grand once he saw us drooling over it.

Hindsight is 20/20, when i sold, i couldn't have imagined how high the prices would go.  Pure speculation but those glowies are special since they are no longer being made.  At one time, there were two or three on ebay just sitting there.  The whales just scooped them up.

Hey all, just picked up one of the last few ginter x boxes from 2018.  I only know of two others out there and feel if the silver mini isn't in these 3 boxes it isn't going to show up.  I am hoping for a black or red mini but, will settle for the silver  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Good score on that x box.  I do hope you pull an elusive red or silver. those are too good at playing hide and seek.  Remember, you could pull a glow too.  Any base looking card in an x box is a glow card.  They have case hits too.

Some ebay told me of a dealer site that has an annual fee where boxes and cases are sold.  Dealer dot net or something like that.  i'd be curious if there are x boxes there too.  Also, every once in a while Probstein sells an X box, so there may be some still hiding.

I also purchased the single packs and will be opening those today.  Let you know if I pull the silver mini.
