What are the odds? Understanding Trading Coin Rarity Scales

In the world of collectibles, rarity is everything. While many of you may be familiar with our standard rarity tiers—like Masterpiece and Ultimate Mintage—our trading coins follow a different rarity system designed specifically to enhance the thrill of collecting. This article will help explain the difference between the two systems. 

The Unique Rarity Scale for Trading Coins 

Unlike our standard collectibles, which focus on rarity through limited mintage numbers, our trading coins introduce an exciting twist with an odds-based rarity system. This approach not only makes collecting more dynamic but also adds an element of surprise and exclusivity. 

Odds based systems are more common in trading cards or collectibles with a chase component. By assigning different odds to various items, these systems introduce an element of chance and rarity, making the process of collecting more engaging and rewarding. 

Here’s a breakdown of our trading coin rarity tiers:  

What Makes These Tiers Special? 

The rarest of the rare, these coins are nearly impossible to find. With only 0.4% odds, they are the crown jewels of any collection.

Still exceptionally rare, Amethyst coins add a touch of mystery to your collection with their deep purple hue and limited availability.

These coins offer a balanced mix of rarity and accessibility. Their striking blue color symbolizes the preciousness of the find.

Red, bold, and eye-catching, Ruby coins are highly sought after for their vibrant color and moderate rarity.

These coins are more accessible, with a warm yellow hue that brightens up any collection. Ideal for collectors who enjoy the thrill of the hunt but want more frequent finds.

Every collector is guaranteed an Emerald coin in each box. These serve as the cornerstone of our trading coin collections, ensuring everyone has a precious piece to enjoy.

Note: Every box includes one Emerald coin and one coin from another odds tier. 

Bigger Markets, Bigger Ranges 

For larger markets, like Major League Baseball®, we sometimes extend the mintage ranges, allowing for more opportunities to discover these beautiful coins while maintaining the excitement of rare finds. 

Why This Matters 

The odds-based rarity system for trading coins adds a layer of excitement that goes beyond traditional collecting. Not only are you purchasing a collectible, but you’re also engaging in a game of chance, where every box could hold the key to a highly coveted treasure. This unique system allows us to cater to a wider range of collectors, from those just starting to seasoned experts. 

So, whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind Onyx coin or excited about the guaranteed Emerald, our trading coin rarity tiers offer something special for everyone. Happy collecting! 

Still confused? That’s okay. Our friendly team are here to make the most of your collecting experience.
