Yeah 325x12. Almost a 5x return on investment. Nice

This is great info, Chris.  I think I am going to open a few more boxes.

UPDATE: Tonight's research on Blowout Forums adds another 61 silver mini cards to my list of pulled 2018 Ginter X silver mini cards. My running total is now 162 silver mini cards that have been discovered. (So far, none are the elusive #83 Cryptocurrency.) Many more baseball forums and auction sites to search...

That is so true!!!

never say never 

There might be a small percentage of 1/1 silver's and red's that get pulled and kept.  I doubt that would be the case with #83.

...got those wheels turning...lol 

I think the cases hold 12 boxes of 18 packs each. I could be wrong tho.

Wow. an unopened case or is this the same one i drooled over.  man. 325 x 18 boxes. you are doing well.

So...I was crunching some numbers to get a better idea of the ever-increasing odds of my sealed Ginter X case holding the magical #83 Cryptocurrency 1/1 silver mini. (I'm equally fond of the /5 red minis, TBH.)

First, I searched all the current and previous eBay ads with the keywords "2018 Ginter Silver Mini" in the title. I listed a total of exactly 101 FOUND silver minis, including my own Walker Beuhler RC. Unfortunately, my search would only go back as far as August 31. That means I'm missing all previous sales for the earliest 3+ weeks, so I'm quite sure that several more silver minis have been discovered than my 101-card tally. Plus, since my search was limited to those exact words in the title only, I would have easily missed any listings with slightly different titles such as "2018 Ginter Silver 1/1" etc.

Regardless, according to Blowout forums and based on the pack odds of silver minis (1:107), approximately 173 Ginter X cases were produced. The odds say there should be exactly 2 silver minis per case. (My personal experience agrees with these odds.)

I'm considering buying a Worthpoint subscription in order to search for all the pre-August 31 eBay listings. I'm quite sure that the bulk of sales happened in the first few weeks, and I'm very interested in calculating the odds of my last Ginter X case holding the 1/1 silver mini. (I may eventually calculate the /5 mini red odds too, which are stated to be 1:22 packs.)

I'll keep you guys posted...

Regards,
Chris

EDIT: According to the official pack odds, a case should hold an average of 2 silver mini 1/1 cards and 10 red mini /5 cards (as well as 12 Brooklyn, NNO, or Glow-in-the-Dark mini cards — one per box).

FYI:  I'm going to have some graded cards next week.   Let me know if interested in purchase/trades.

One interesting note is that PSA does not put "glow " on the slab label.  Here's an Ebay example

Thank you for those kind words, appreciate it

Dolph,

Glad you made your way to the collectibles section.  Constant sound,  unselfish advice in this thread from you.  Cheers!

That is a keeper, put that in a safe and lock it away.  Wait until the common mini's break the 100.00 mark.  That's what I would do or invest in a brinks truck

Look into a platinum plan. Get 15 cards graded with 15 days return time. More like 6 weeks

If you send more than 100 cards it's much cheaper but takes longer to get cards back.

Compared to the veterans here I have a small collection but I do have some nice Ginter X minis. It is a pain but I think I will go ahead and send them to PSA for grading the consensus seems to be if I ever decide to auction on eBay that certification could double the value. Any tips on sending to PSA or just follow the instructions on their site?

Checking interest in a PSA 10 glow-in-the-dark 83 Cryptocurrency card.  Prepare to back up the Brinks truck beep beep beep.

They're numbered SETS  1 thru 49 ..... the Cryptocurrency card alone will do as well as the brooklybacks, blk. minis, or any other LIMITED to 50 Cryptocurrency cards. IMO  Especially as time marches on. You saw what happened with the JUMBOS, so yeah.  


I'm just wondering...what do you guys think a REDneck mini card would go for in today's market ungraded? $100, $200, $500 ? Graded? A year from now? (I know it depends on the grade, huge factor)

I hope that someone in here won the X box's. Congrats if it is so.
