There have been 11 graded so far and only 6 have obtained a grade of 9.  With such a limited supply of these, it pushes the grade 9 to an even higher value than I had first thought.  Quite a challenge this little mini has turned out to be.   Smiley

Good eye. Wow that is why no 10s for this card. 

So is it possible that all 50? were printed this way?


I have a few that were better centered but, many of them could have been off center just out of the 5% tolerance allowance to grade PSA 10.

A mini Ginter X sold for $650.  Must have sold in seconds.  Didn't even notice it before.



If you look closely at the photo it appears off center.   Look at the left and right borders.

There is no doubt that the hottest card from the 2018 A&G release was the #83 cryptocurrency.  Without a doubt this forum put this card into the fastest rising star category for a non sportscard.  Great job collectors Smiley

Hmm. A 2017 Ginter x box can be had for 120, so 2018 is a unicorn year.

Still. that is a good return 50 bucks per box-600 per case.  You can buy a ton of cards with those profits.

This was an exceptional year for A&G and I'm sure they know it.   Smiley

I know collectors that never crack open boxes, if they want a specific card they buy the card and whatever the cost is they feel it is less than opening boxes.  Right now if a ginter x red mini comes up for sale at say 5,000 it is an absolute steal and would be sold the same day.  Doesn't need to be graded because there are only a few that exist.  I won't even guess how high a PSA 10 would go for.  I try never to look at past values but, rather where values are headed and do I like the card.  This works for me and I have fun with it.  Have fun out there fellow card collectors Cool


That hodl to boxes strategy would work like gangbusters this year.  i can't believe every year shows this much appreciation though (10x!)

There was an auction selling all 350 mini ginter x cards for 450 or so.  Now the one crypto card is worth 600.  Hindsight is 20/20.

We will have to wait and see when a red mini 1/5 or silver 1/1 comes up for sale Smiley Smiley

My theory holds for ginter x mini 1/100 ( recent sales in 600 range) and no numbers  150 (recent sales in 1200 range). I see no reason why a Brooklyn 1/25 would not go for 2400.

We will need to wait awhile to see if the theory holds true all the way through the 1/1 but, I believe the mini red #/5 will near the 15,000 range in the not to distant future.  In the non sportscard collection community spending 100's of thousands on rare cards goes on all the time.  Example the black lotus that I posted.  I for one will not be shocked to see a PSA 10 red mini go for 100,000.  Time will tell, but think I'm fairly close Cool

Man, i love Dolphriends optimism and insight.  Makes all this so fun. Thanks

Thanks Mrstacy, if it ever becomes work and not fun it's time to hang it up. Smiley



One interesting and exciting thing with trading these baseball cards is that on two occasions, the relative of one of the players bought one of my cards.  Ok, i'm not 100 percent sure, but they had unique  last names (Buehler and Banda).  It's still fun and you can make walking around money doing so.

That is pretty cool Cool

I think I need to get busy and send my cards in to PSA for grading: can't get top dollar on eBay without that good PSA grade.

I feel very fortunate that I have a friend that helps me in pre grading my cards before I send one in since I am looking for 10's, saves me time and funds.  Good luck I hope you get a bunch of 10's.  Roll Eyes

Yeah same here. What's the best way - the automated form, or the paper form? Tongue

Thanks!

Hands down it is the automated form.  It allows you to start a submission and save it for later.  It also has stored descriptions saving you time entering each name from scratch.

 Sadly ,That is also a clue that you don't have a pop 1 if it suggests card you are entering.

I do offer a PSA 9 trading service at 0.007 BTC per card for base cards (25), A&g backs (2), regular mini (5), and black border (3). Saves you 3 months' time and uncertainty.  Can do PSA 10 trade case by case.
