Here's a video on Goldbacks.

So if I'm counting correctly you have ~$210 worth of gold in those foiled cards. But you payed roughly double the price... Not sure if the claimed utility of the cards can justify the premium.

I mean yeah, I suppose if you look at it that way but I'm just going off what they're selling for. I feel like I paid a fair price, I am sure that hypothetically you could find a cheaper variation out of there somewhere but with goldback it's a symbol of trust in the value. If you don't recognize it that's okay, I do, we're all free to choose our preferred currenc(y)ies. For me, I personally prefer Bitcoin, Monero, Z-cash, and Goldbacks over Fiat, etc.
