+Rustynails Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I was doing some cleaning and found my John Grisham Racketeer Trackable that resembles a gold ingot. It's not activated and sealed in the original plastic wrap. It had a limited release during a promotion ten years ago. Anyone know if it has any collectable value ?

Keystone Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I've moved this thread from the General Geocaching Topics forum. As a reminder, in this promotion the recipients of the trackables were asked to place them in geocaches. The trackables could be activated and owned by the recipients. 4 Quote Link to comment
+chase99g Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I have no idea if that has any value, looks like it may be worth something at first glance. Wish I had that! Looks so cool! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

It's difficult to activate a coin if misplaced. Interesting information that may make this sealed trackable even more rare. Edited December 3, 2023 by Rustynails 1 Quote Link to comment
+MNTA Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I wish all trackables including the boring ones would have a proxy or two to send out as they always go missing eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment

Promotion trackables we've seen were to be placed in a geocache within a certain timeframe of receiving it. Those interested would see it's a promotion trackable, so maybe if you find someone who doesn't care it could be... 1 Quote Link to comment
+Rustynails Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 It does have some value. I was offered $30.00 for it. It's a very nice piece to add to any collection. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

+TeamRabbitRun Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) I've had one of these circulating for over a decade. I feel fortunate that the last log I got on it was a DISCOVER in a California cache on 10/31/23. https://coord.info/TB5CY1W Sometimes I wish I'd kept this, but it WAS a promotional TB, so I was obligated to release it. 490 logs and over 33,000 miles traveled later, maybe I'll put a mission on it to make its way home......

I discovered one in the wilds that eventually went from Georgia to California, another one at two Events. After 2 years of travelling, it was beginning to show some rust, but it still looked pretty cool. https://coord.info/TL9V9WVN Edited December 7, 2023 by kunarion Quote Link to comment

Didn't you read that book? 3 Quote Link to comment

Through a series of "fortunate" events, I will be able to return this to its owner very soon - and it is in absolutely pristine condition - amazing!! Photo attached, and yes, it IS the same TB released by TeamRabbit Run....awesome story of how it came into my hand! 1 Quote Link to comment
