R&D Promo

The Rainbow Holoforge R&D Promo

The Rainbow Holoforge is a Series 1 R&D card featuring Series 0 artwork. It is NOT part of the Series 0 checklist, original odds, or hit structure. Series 0 Mint 1 production remains unchanged at 945 cards.

What it is

The Rainbow Holoforge effect is created through an experimental metal-finishing process that uses laser energy, heat, and controlled focal variation to create color directly in the stainless steel surface. No foil. No sticker. No printed holo layer.

Distribution: 15 R&D Promos total

Mint 1 was built from 15 Master Case-equivalent allocations. Each allocation represents 20 Collector Box equivalents. There are 15 Rainbow Holoforge R&D Promos, one tied to each allocation.

Master Case buyers

Every full Mint 1 Master Case purchase receives one (1) Rainbow Holoforge R&D Promo.

Split allocations (Inner Cartons + Collector Boxes)

If a Master Case allocation was split into Inner Cartons or Collector Boxes, one (1) buyer from that 20-box allocation will be randomly selected to receive the Holoforge R&D Promo. Random selection occurs after the full 20-box allocation has sold out. Approximately 1 in 20 buyers in non-Master allocations will receive a Holoforge.

All Holoforge R&D Promos ship separately from your original order.

This applies retroactively to all Mint 1 purchases already made. Early buyers are included.

Contingency

Master Split Contingency

If Collector Box and Inner Carton inventory both sell through before all Master Cases are sold, remaining Master Cases may convert to Master Split inventory:

• —2 Inner Cartons sold at $475 each
• —10 Collector Boxes sold at $100 each

The Holoforge R&D Promo allocation continues. The Master Case-equivalent 20-box allocation from the split Master will randomly select one buyer from the 12 split buyers to receive the Holoforge R&D Promo. Random selection occurs after the full split inventory has sold through.

Master Split inventory does NOT carry the Master Case Hit guarantee (guaranteed Silver or Gold tier metal hit). That guarantee applies only to original Master Case purchases.
