I have no idea what this is, but it looks like the next evolution of Ultra Breaks, Vault Box, and other tchotchkification of the hobby...

    I don't know. Hard to tell what that site is selling. [And I'm not giving them my email address to find out.]

    This should help clear things up...

    Haha. If I had to speculate, it's celebrity signed cert labels.

    Just following up on this mystery...

    Soooo... if you're interested in paying $299.99 for 2 ounces of silver, or $259.99 for 0.5 grams of gold I've found your shop!

    I don't see where the metal is. Like for the Mike Tyson .5g gold... is that just a half gram of gold, paper thin and colorized to look like a card? Or is it paper? They sold 13 of those so far. Wow...

    Appears to be something like a foil note. Example

    FWIW, these are not all the same. Here is a breakdown of the 'Flair' offering:

    That's what a propane torch is for - melt that gold right out of everything real quick.

    This is a US Coins venture, Kenny Duncan has been promoting it. I’m not really sure exactly what’s being sold either but looks like a lot went into it.

    It always amazes me when coin collectors don't understand the nature of "collectibles".

    You don't buy a Michael Jordan rookie card for the paper content.

    [Note: Does that make these a great "investment"? Probably not. But if you collect wrestling items, you can pay more than that for a plastic wrestling doll from the 1990s.]

    Items like this have existed for 20+ years. They are neither new nor, in my mind, at all related to UB or VB.

    I guess I was expecting more of a coin. And calling it the Celebrity Mint implies some kind of coin or metal content. I never conceived that they would produce a metal card and refer to it as minting. I agree, not related to UB or VB but we didn't know that at the time I made the first post.

    What a strange offering, I'm sure the 2oz chibi Logan Paul Niue "coins" will maintain their high premium on resale. I also have a very profitable bridge to sell you.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    They may not be related corporately, but IMHO, they are similar in that they each involve a chance component.

    Select CM offerings:
    ~ Trading coins (base, colored, and colored with autograph);
    ~ Chibi (colored, and gilded).

    Note - the winners are bolded.

    Pretty stupid idea IMO, but some people might fall for it.

    It's like VaultBox, but worse. :D
