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.

But Brian isn’t stopping there. For every case purchased, M1NT will include a 1989 Upper Deck card. Plus, you’ll have a chance to receive one of five golden tickets, each with a shot at one of these epic prizes:

- Three boxes of 1989 Upper Deck, each valued at USD 500

All accessible through the new M1NT Signature Hobby Case, available in Frosted White or Frosted Black. Prices start at just $24,99 per Hobby Case—an investment in legacy, quality, and exclusivity. For serious collectors, these cases are more than storage—they’re a vault for story-telling, a bridge between eras, and a safeguard for your most prized cards.

Designed with convenience in mind, these cases give you the secure, stylish comfort of carrying your prized cards anywhere, anytime. It’s the perfect blend of protection and portability, making every collector feel confident to take their collection on the go.



The quest kicks off very soon, and only the bold will have their chance at the golden ticket. Don’t miss your shot. Order now at www.m1ntaverse.com. Join the waitlist, get ready to unlock treasures, and step into the future of card collecting. Because in this game, the real victory is the journey—and the stories that live on long after the last card is pulled.

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! 🚀
