UPDATE: Drop is scheduled for July 21, 2022 at 7pm ET.

What’s the Slab Series?
The Slab Series is based on the RareMint’s Mystery Pack product. The theme, number of packs, and price will always be announced prior to each drop. The first drop is Pokemon but we’ll continue to advance into areas like sports cards, Yu-Gi-Oh!, magic…even comics.

Mystery Packs will be available for reveal 72 hours after the drop begins. You can then open it right away or keep it sealed. Your Pokemon Card NFT or pack will be available on OpenSea and in your RareMint inventory. If you choose to reveal, you will be shown the card. All packs are random to keep it fair. You can buy as many packs as you’d like. Keeping the reveal fair and honest is key to the success of the drop and very important to RareMint.

First drop?
Pokemon. As RareMint was being conceptualized, Niko (co-founder) would complain to Brett (co-founder) that it took forever to get the Pokemon cards he bought off eBay to show up at this house. They were talking about collectibles and blockchain, both are big Seattle Seahawk fans so naturally the conversation focused on sports collectibles. Niko kept complaining about his Pokemon delivery dilemma, so they agreed to find a solution at some point. That point is now.

What’s in the drop?
The drop contains 200 Pokemon Mystery Packs that each contain a 1 of 1 Pokemon Card NFT. The NFT can be redeemed anytime for the physical version stored in our secure vault. Here are some drop points:

  • Total Mystery Packs: 200
  • Price Per Pack: $335
  • Ceiling: $28,800
  • Avg: 0.25 ETH
  • Floor: $50
  • No Card Grade under: 7
  • Will a list of all cards be published: Yes (coming soon)

Biggest card in the drop?
The drop contains some epic cards including a rare 🔥 1999 Charizard Holo 1st Edition PSA 9 worth over $28,000 (One just sold at Goldin Auctions on 5/21/22 for $28,800).

What are some other big cards?

  • 1999 Pokemon 1st Edition Charizard Holo PSA 9 (Value: $28,800)
  • 1999 Pokemon 1st Edition Holo Charizard PSA 7
  • 1999 Pokemon Shadowless Holo R Charizard BGS 8.5
  • 2002 Pokemon Legendary Rev.Foil Charmeleon PSA 10
  • 1998 PM Japanese Starter Holo Articuno PSA 10
  • 2002 Pokemon Legendary Collection Rev Holo Pikachu CGC 9.5

So what if I want the physical card?
The Pokemon Card NFTs can be redeemed for the physical version anytime. The physical cards are insured, safe and secure. If you ever want the physical card, RareMint can send it to you and the NFT will be burned.

Do I need to pay for the vault?
Vaulting is free.

Can I not open the pack?
Yes. You can choose to keep it sealed. Your NFT, opened or unopened, will be immediately available on OpenSea and in your RareMint inventory.

Who graded the cards?
All cards are slabbed and graded by CGC, PSA, and BGS.

What blockchain will the drop be on?
Polygon.

How do I know it’s really legit?
Transparency, legitimacy, and trust are pillars to building a long term brand. This is part of the core belief system of the RareMint team and its founders. One of the founders, Brett Calapp, has been a leading expert in building legal online casinos, sportsbooks and poker sites for almost 2 decades.
