Doing some digging around on the PSA site.

https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices/non-sport-cards/2022-cardsmiths-currency-series-1/240381

This has a few of the diamond refractors listed as:

1 Bitcoin Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof
1A Bitcoin Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof
7 Nikola Tesla Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof
10 Bitcoin Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof
14 Ethereum Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof
28A Elon Musk Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof
41 Abraham Lincoln Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof
57 Salvatore Mundi Diamond Gemstone Refractor-Proof

Perhaps they pulled this information from ebay, as I know a few of these were listed on ebay at some point.


The page also lists most Onyx under the proper card number and name, e.g.

1 Bitcoin Onyx Gemstone Refractor 1/1



I thought what submitting some Diamond proofs to PSA would do is that they can verify that the 1/1 Diamonds are official cards that they can now grade and include in the Series 1 Pop, not now include the proofs as official cards.


Just to clarify, we have no control over what PSA includes in their population reports.  That said, the Diamond Gemstone 1/1's should be listed separate from the Proofs, which it seems like PSA is already setting up since they specifically listed the Proofs in a way which we assume will be separate from the 1/1's.  If they end up getting lumped together at some point we can mention it to them, but ultimately they are the ones controlling the report.

Still, I wouldn't be overly concerned about what PSA shows on the population report.  They are always more of guide than an exact number.  For instance, if you submitted a 1/1 to PSA and got say a 9, but later cracked it out and resubmitted and again got a 9, it would show a total of two 9's in the population report.  Perhaps they'd catch it, but grading millions of cards a month it might be tricky.
