I would just like to point out that the first blue (virtual) leitmark has been awarded. Congrats oliverkeers13!
And it would appear that my linear regression was at least close: I said the blue leitmark would appear at 7700. From the leaderboard right now, oliverkeers13 (8051 points) has it, ManleyM (7683) does not.
Edit: 7700, not 7900 - thanks lhall.

Ollie did say that he thinks it came up at 7900, so that's what's on the wiki for now.
(Altho, your linked post says 7700...typo?)

Got the blue leitmark at 7900, Players should get the purple one by around 9500 & Black leitmark around 11000, Silver well probally when every card has been solved

Thanks to the forces of luck being less than favourable, I got a Wave 3 box that gave me a complete set of wave 1 and 2 up to black (minus one purple and black), me having all wave 1 and 2 already. Only got one wave 3 black and not a single wave 3 silver. Overall it worked out 27% wave 3, not 33%
[/violin]
Upshot of this is, if I can solve the 3 remaining unsolved cards I have, I get the next leitmark by about 7 points...

a bit off the topic of leitmarks but dont you find that so far all the wave 3 cards have so far been relativly easy? 48 confirmed solves & 1 more silver card all but confirmed by MC? Maybe this is just a warm up for wave 4 just a humble opinion

As we're discussing the new leitmark, I might as well detail it's hidden message, for the record.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's braille and says 'I Can See You', pretty cool huh? And no, I don't have it, but it was just about visible from that small image.

Let's hope that the silver leitmark is actually made of silver! That would be so cool!

If we have to solve all the cards including riemann to get the silver leitmark then I think it should be made out of platinum!

If we actually have to solve the Riemann Hypothesis, they may as well promise it will be made out of mithril...

That... is one clinically blurry photo.
But, the hazy outline of it looks fantastic, Ollie!
EDIT: Thank you, Fuse. I was only gently ribbing Ollie, but this is fantastic as well.

Just for GasparLewis,
Here is a clearer photo, though the Leitmark is still in it's bag.

The blue leitmark is in Braille. It reads ICAN SEE YOU
