Metal trading cards with real embedded metal hits, connected lore, and a hidden 1/1 platinum hunt.
VaultMint creates slabbed steel trading cards built for collectors who want more than cardboard. Some cards contain embedded copper, silver, or gold coins, while every card connects to a deeper system of artwork, rarity, tiers, and lore. Founded by collectors, for collectors, VaultMint is built on one belief: Every Card Matters.

What Series 0 Is.
Series 0 is the Genesis release of VaultMint: one foundational Athena card, forged in steel and built across multiple rarity tiers. It's the foundation every future VaultMint release will build on.
Each tier carries part of the story of humanity's discovery, acceptance, and use of rare and precious metals, beginning with Athena pouring molten gold and silver into Earth's crucible. Embedded metals, connected lore, and the first hidden path to the 1/1 platinum all live inside Series 0.
| Pull | What it means |
|---|---|
| Foundation | The core Series 0 card |
| Short Forge | A rarer variant layer |
| Copper /150 | Numbered card with embedded 1 oz copper |
| Silver /30 | Numbered card with embedded 1 oz silver |
| Gold /9 | Numbered card with embedded 1/10 oz gold |
| Platinum 1/1 | Slabbed card with embedded 1 oz platinum coin. Earned through the hunt. |
Series 0 is just the beginning of VaultMint, built by collectors, for collectors. Every card is part of a layered collecting experience, combining premium materials, embedded metals, connected lore, numbered rarity, and hidden discovery.

The VaultMint Collector Path
Built to be opened, studied, chased, collected, and admired.
Rip
Crack the seal on a real slabbed metal card. Every box reveals a Foundation, Short Forge, or numbered metal-tier chase.
Inspect
Check the tier, serial, metal, symbols, and lore. In VaultMint, every detail is intentional.
Connect
Compare your pull against the rest of the set. Patterns emerge across Foundation, Short Forge, Copper, Silver, and Gold.
Chase
Follow the clues, share discoveries, and help the community piece it together. The trail leads to the Platinum 1/1.
Build the Set
Series 0 is only the beginning. Each series has its own theme, its own chase structure, and its own deeper story.
VaultMint is designed so the experience does not end when the card is pulled. Each reveal deepens the lore, brings the set closer to completion, and becomes part of a collecting path built to continue across future series.
What Makes VaultMint Different
Built around what collectors actually value.
A physical collecting experience built around premium materials, rarity, lore, and discovery.
Premium materials
Every VaultMint card is a slabbed stainless steel collectible, built to be more premium, more durable, and more permanent than paper or cardboard.
Real chase value
Numbered copper, silver, and gold tiers create meaningful chase value through embedded metals, limited rarity, and collector demand.
Structured collecting
Collectors Boxes, Inner Cartons, and Master Cases are built around clear pull structures, guarantees, and chase potential.
Connected lore
Every VaultMint series is built around a central theme. Series 0 explores humanity’s discovery of metal and the rise of value through copper, silver, and gold. Future series will expand into new worlds, themes, and historical collecting stories.
Fair treasure hunt
The highest-value card in Series 0 is not simply bought, pulled, or won by spending the most. The Platinum 1/1 is earned through clues, symbols, lore, and collector discovery.

Buyer Guide
Which one should I get?
Collectors Box
Start here if you want one sealed VaultMint card and a shot at a metal hit (copper, silver, or gold).
Inner Carton

Fair by Design
The biggest chase is not pay-to-win.
The Platinum 1/1 is not simply sitting in a random box waiting for the biggest spender. Collecting more cards can help, but the hunt is designed to reward attention, pattern recognition, and problem-solving. A smart collector can make progress without owning every card.
The Platinum 1/1 Hunt
One sequence. One card. One winner.
Symbols, lore, tiers, and card details all feed into a hidden mechanic. The first solver claims the one-of-one Platinum card.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before you collect.
VaultMint cards are premium, slabbed metal trading cards crafted from anodized stainless steel. Select cards contain embedded metal coins, including copper, silver, and gold tiers. Each card is designed to be a permanent collectible, not just something you open and discard.
VaultMint combines premium materials, real embedded metals, structured rarity, and connected lore to create a collectible experience that goes beyond traditional trading cards.
Hits are rare cards with embedded metal coins. Silver and gold are the precious metal tiers. Copper is a real metal embed with intrinsic value, but it is not classified as a precious metal. All three are randomly distributed across each mint.
Collectors Boxes are packed from the same mint distribution and target a 20% metal hit rate overall (copper, silver, or gold). Inner Cartons include 1 guaranteed metal embed hit per 5 cards (copper, silver, or gold). Master Cases include 4 guaranteed metal embed hits total (one per Inner), and one of those four is guaranteed to be a silver or gold case hit.
No. VaultMint is not a bullion product. The embedded metals are real and intentionally part of the value, but the full collectible value comes from the combination of materials, artwork, serial numbering, rarity, slabbed presentation, connected lore, and the Series 0 hunt. If you only judge it by melt value, you are missing the collector side of the product.
Yes - each mint follows the same structured distribution. All quantities and odds reset per mint.
