If you’ve been following the collecting world, you already know that the next big launch from M1NT isn’t just another case—it’s a quest. A borderless journey into premium collectibles, led by a brand that’s redefining how enthusiasts protect and showcase their treasures. And if you haven’t caught up with the story of the man behind it all, Brian Pirrip, check out our previous feature: From Hobbyist to Entrepreneur: Brian Pirrip’s Journey of Passion and Innovation.


The countdown is on. The Definitive 1989 Upper Deck Quest launches this Wednesday, May 21st, and collectors are buzzing. The grand prize? None other than the legendary Mickey Mantle and Ken Griffey Jr. in a stunning dual on-card auto from 1994 Upper Deck. This card bridges generations—two icons, one masterpiece, and a true cornerstone of the hobby.

I feel the same about the hobby case. The sleek design is so simple yet perfect. The white is my favorite but the black is growing on me. The G1 launch is going nuclear! 🚀
