I have a patent for lottery ticket where “Any ticket can win”, but it can be applied for cards.
This solves the reputation issue if the manufacturer manipulates the inserts or if a breaker takes your card. @garyvee

I’m pausing my spending on @veefriends.

I still believe 100% in the brand, @garyvee, and this unbelievable community. But right now, I can’t support the releases when statistical anomalies like this keep happening.

Black Gold coins are stated at 1:10. In my sealed 100-pack case, I pulled exactly ONE.

At those stated odds, you’d expect ~10. Under simple random distribution, getting 1 or fewer out of 100 is roughly a 1 in 3,100 outcome.

I love the coins, but results like this make me concerned that steps are being missed somewhere in the collation process. I’ve also heard from collectors who opened cases containing zero Black Golds.

Random is the random. Outliers happen. But when outcomes this extreme start appearing consistently, I think it deserves a serious look.

Hoping the team investigates and gets to the bottom of it going forward.

Yes! Please!

@jsON @veefriends @garyvee @Rossmonkey95 If that is the case, should I post my Gary Vee /5 auto cards, content condor autos and all my stickers?

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

I think maybe YOU should get this tattoo

We've got a problem here ... future @veefriends fan, @ngreenroom posted this. Action starts at the 11 minute mark: https://t.co/Do31UuH1r8 .... sooooo, cases are being curated at the packaging level and sent to breakers?

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

Gary Vee cards are my favorite @veefriends character- I have 55 base plus 1/50, 2 signed from 2026
I also have 2025, Stickers, 7 signed magazines, and a signed Green Apples hat.

I am so confused.
It seems that you are always negative about @veefriends

We are community that cares.
What is bothering you?

[Polish_Buddy🐧 @Polish_Buddy]

It’s funny watching @jeremyknowsVF claim he’ll gladly take an online meeting with me any time I schedule one to discuss the unwarranted bans he’s handed out..

..only to watch him cancel all 10 meeting attempts

@garyvee @Behindthekit you really need to crack down on your employe

The idea of pyramiding is similar to World Series of Poker can allow free entries but have a multi million pot

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

I have done an analysis on something similar I call pyramiding
In my model, the winners of chasers would be have the option to exchange their win for a chance in the next round.
This allows people to spend very little to get a hug win worth $10k or more

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

@nealstephenson is the real creator of Crypto. Read the Cryptonomicon - he describes everything years before bitcoin. Plus it is a fantastic book

Flight 93 Chalk Art update

Most of the portraits are complete. Only a few to finish. Most of the families have started to arrive and what a blessing to meet them and hear the stories and memories of those that we have chalked.

If anyone loves cats - let me know. I am giving them all up for charity
