Thanks guys, I love tracking down the rare stuff....and always enjoy sharing the joy on here!!
The Cash Cards are not the most exciting cards in the Futera lineup however the fact that many of you have never seen them helps explain their rarity. They were inserted into both the 4000 First Day Issue boxes and also the Regular Issue boxes (unknown production numbers). Assuming there were around 10,000 boxes all up that makes the Blue Cash Card a 1:400 pack pull and the Red Cash Card a 1:4000 pack find!! And given Futera's notoriety for not including all the inserts in the boxes it is easy to believe that some the only inserts which could be redeemed for cash might have easily been "accidentally on purpose" left out of the final product! Pessimistic view I know, but who really knows - you would think there would be far more of the blue ones turning up than there have been.
In answer to some of your questions:
Liam: I wish I used to work for Futera, but I have been lucky to be referred on to a couple of long time collectors who have been willing to sell off the few remaining cards that I have struggled to track down. Offering above market prices doesn't hurt either!
Daz: I only have a couple more rabbits in the Futera hat before all inserts and autos are accounted for........stay tuned!
Ron: My address is 1 Insert Rd, Futeraville
Raj: Yes the 93/94 Master set is complete, and this red cash card has almost completed the 96/97 Decider master set.......I just need the 2 Michael Bevan distributor cards /50. I know a guy who has them, but he is asking a price that even I won't pay!!
Justin: My Futera collection is 99% complete but there are a lot of people out there with big cigarette card and turn of the century trade card collections that would be worth far far more than my lot. Unfortunately a lot of the biggest and best collections are tucked away and some people don't like others to know exactly what they have, which is a shame if it means people don't get to see the rarest of the rare cards.
Share share share I say!!!
