Agree. just pull the few stars from the base backs and use others as fire kindling.
Plus when you open packs, you bought yourself a job of organizing them and selling or trading the plethora of cards. For that ginter box, i gave up a weekend organizing the cards. it was fun, but thank goodness we have a ping pong table that is perfect for that.
Skip the base cards except the RCs, Make insert sets, and you're handling the minis just fine. The time it takes to organizing a base set that sells for $30 is not worth it. That said, I too organized many cards. Without use of a large table I first broke it down by hundred. Then each stack of 1-100, 101-200, 201-300 was split into high or low (above or below the fifty mark), then organized by the tens, then singularly. It was time consuming but manageable. Not worth it for the base sets imo, but for the glossy & ginter X... time well spent.
Here is another thing that PSA grades: Sealed packs.
I sent in a sealed 3-card pack with the crypto card on top. The odds are getting that card on top are lower than a 1/3 of 1 percent. If you were to order a ton of value packs in hopes of getting a crypto card on top - 350 of them, you'd have to pay about $2,300! (3 packs of value backs cost about 20 bucks, 350/3 = 116.67, 116.67 x 20 = 2,333.
If you are in the market for a PSA 10 one, let send me a PM. No pictures yet, they are still sealing it.

That's a pretty cool pack you got but you cant extrapolate costs like that and how much that turns into value of the pack you own. It should certainly get a little more than the card is worth but not nearly the amount X odds of getting one
i see your point, but i now many of us buy packs with the goal of pulling a certain card (brooklyn, silver 1/1, etc) i'm just trying to make the case that it is better money management to buy the card you want with an analysis to back it up.
I've purchased 2 full cases of ginter cards and an X case. As fun as it was to open those packs, it didn't make financial sense.
Oh absolutely, it's extremely tough to find the card you want on top. I'm an old school sports card collector and still have rack packs with Jerry rice rc on top, graded. Roger Clemens fleer rc on top of a cello pack, Lawrence taylor topps rack pack with taylor rc on top..bonds, Griffey jr, ton of rcs on top. Insanely hard to keep unopened but that's the collector in us all
Wish I just had that jordon 86 fleer rookie card on top
This is interesting.....prices seem to be on the incline

Only a precious few of the ginter x red mini ever showed up and from just a colorful point of few they are my favorite of the cards. Good luck to all in finding one
Agree. i bought a Aaron Judge one. The crypto ones may never show up. Now that the prices have reached the statosphere for 1/5s and 1/1s, the serious players may hodl those.

From just a financial point of view I have always said just buy the card, but it's more fun opening packs. That's just my opinion .

Funny thing is that i bought a ton of packs and i literally pulled a crypto card on top with second pack. if i'd been smart, i would have returned the rest unopened. Well, i opened the rest and not even one additional crypto card anywhere.

There’s still a chance that some of the non-player base cards (and matching rare mini cards) will be crypto-related, such as Satoshi Nakamoto (Guy Fawkes mask), Craig Wright, Charlie Lee, whomever. Fingers cross’d

Hey crypto card fans
Looks like there won't be any follow-up to the A&G cryptocurrency cards this year. Hopefully we will see some crypto related cards in basketball, hockey or football sets in the future. Keeping my fingers crossed
Best to all and happy treasure hunting

Do we have an official list of all the players for 2019? maybe they'll sneak a few players in like Bit Coin and Ethel Reum. i didn't see official list. i won't believe no crypto cards until i see the list. 1 to 350.
Nothing official that I can find, we can hope

Topps just did the Crypto-Collectables sector a HUGE favor, as far as I'm concerned..... Looking like even the 5x7's, and the posters, the triple in one cards (Topps vault), plates, etc.......all THAT...is now going to do nothing but increase in value (imagine rocket ship take off) ALL varieties of the 2018 ROOKIES just took a leap in value 
*I wouldn't be surprised if one of the other makers does a "follow the leader" move though.....time will tell

I'm not all that surprised at topps doing this as a one time, I dont think they want a continuous run on their non baseball cards and have all new non sport cards to offer in 19.
