Topic: Autographs for the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins - page 2. (Read 2606 times)

Thanks mj.  I'm likely not going to do the auctions for #2-4, until I sell out of the $495 priced loose sets of autographs and holos.  Numbers 11, 12, 18, 27 are available. 

Also to reiterate mj's statement, I will not be doing another round of signatures or holos in the future.  As stated earlier, I may do a very limited amount for just brand new makers that weren't in the last Encyclopedia, if we decide to do that in next year's edition.  Right now, theres only 1 maker (tothemoonsands) I know of thats new that comes to mind.

Thank you very much.

I personally do not desire to repeat this project again.  As I mentioned, it was a lot more time and effort than I expected.  I'm glad I did it, but it consumed so much time then and now, putting the sets together.

There's always a chance I may contact only the late 2016 or 2017 coin makers next year for future 2017 Encyclopedias, but that book hasnt been started yet.

I still have 2 unsold sets and another 3 will be auctioned in the future, likely after all the other sets are sold.  2-3 more are set aside for minerjones at the moment.

If anybody has received their loose sets, I would appreciate if they could post pictures, especially if they add them to their books.  I've sent out to about 7 people myself, and minerjones should be sending out another batch shortly along with their books.

Just wanted to say great project, hopefully they can be repeated in the future as new coin makers come to light.

Thank you Pistachio.  I'm glad you like them.

Positive feedback left.

For anyone who cannot afford the premium color hardback version, it looks like Minerjones still has a few of the first editions for sale https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1528167.

I want to again congratulate Howard (bithalo) on putting this together, and nearly selling out in such a short time! I am also happy to say that most of the Autographs Edition books are now sold. Only the following numbers remain unreserved:

#3: Make Offer
#4: Make Offer
#5: $1250
#7: $1100

This is the last batch! One sold, there will be no more! (except #2.. which I am keeping for myself [for now] along with the #2 Signature Edition and #2 Makers Edition)

I also want to say that I am very grateful to those who have purchased the Autographs Edition of our book; it is you who are making it possible to publish the Encyclopedia for this small but growing niche.


EDIT: I'VE BEEN HACKED: see this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1724295.new#new
EDIT 2: Account is back under my control. All orders will be honored.

Bump. 

8 sets sold & paid for.  Only a few left.

I've sent out a few of the freebie ones to makers as well.  minerjones is handling a few that are going into hardcovers.

Time for another update.  5 sets sold & paid for.  3 more on reserve.  Only a few left.

Thank you bitkilo.


Thanks mj.

I think it makes the physical version of the book more special and personal with both the signatures of many of us in the community and the holograms added too. 

So far 3 loose sets are paid for, and 2 more may be reserved soon. 

The only interesting thing for me it the doodle. Whose ridiculous idea was to include the trash Defcoin poker ships? It feels like an addition of a random (and unnecessary) item.

Time will tell whether the book is great (lessons have been learned from the previous one). The idea is rather interesting, but I don't see myself paying $500 for 35 stickers.

Yep +1 to this from me too, great to see this has all been put together thanks for taking the time to do so.

Serial numbers #9-16 still available.  Only 8 left.   Out of those 8, 5 may be sold shortly.

You're very welcome. 

Bithalo this was a huge undertaken and am impressed how it all turned out.  Thanks for putting this together for our niche market.

Thank you very much.  If ordering a unnumbered hardcover or numbered Autograph Edition, just send a PM to Elianite direct.  I don't believe you would be eligible for a maker's edition, as that was only offered for maker's who signed labels.

Now if you throw in that nice miffman bitpieces #1 auctioned set from yesterday, we'll talk.     j/k

If ordering a loose set of labels (book not included), I take care of those.

I'll take #5.

PM incoming.

These look great and want to thank all who made this project happen.

Would like to order #11 Hardback Encyclopedia please!

PM sent to elianite

Serial numbers #5-6 and #9-16 left

I'm happy to announce the loose sets of signatures and holos for the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins are in stock and available for sale.  I personally wish to thank all the coin makers and others involved, as this project has brought dozens of members of our community together.  

Pricing will be 0.30 BTC per loose set (book not included), with only 10 sets for sale, and another 4 sets (with serial numbers #1-4) may be offered at a later date by auction.  I do not plan to do this project again, so this will likely be a one time opportunity.  These labels may be used for previous softcovers, current hardcovers, or kept for future editions of the Encyclopedia.  A book purchase is not required.

Serial numbered COA's available are SOLD OUT  The back of the COA will have a numbered list that will match to a number on the back of each signature/holo, so someone will know who is who.

Free First Class shipping with tracking to the US and overseas.    Additional Shipping options are available at additional cost.  

A black 10 3/8" x 4 5/8" genuine leather album is offered for $15.  I have a very limited amount of these, so buyers of a loose set are given first option to purchase one of these.

minerjones currently has a few sets so if you are buying a book from him, he can include the labels with your order.

Payment address is 123cCVQwF2rh8Stwrrgm1QRcHnPdKZkNHw
Watch for Scammers.

Out of the 50 sets made, 20 are set aside for the hardcover Autograph Edition, 13 are given free to certain coin makers who signed early in the project,  and 3 are reserved for minerjones.  

5% of sales of the 17 loose sets will be donated up to two charities or campaigns.  The first is a gofundme for a little girl fighting cancer at https://www.gofundme.com/elayna?ssid=838483386&pos=1 .  My wife and her mom are acquaintances through facebook.    

There will be in each AE and loose serial numbered set:

* 35 signatures: 31 coin makers, 2 people that wish to remain secret per request, my sig, Elias sig,
* Bitcoin Penny unique doodle
* defcoins' unnumbered black poker chip
* 25 coin maker holos (The loose sets will not have the bhcoins holo)
* my signed numbered COA with hologram.  

Signature labels are 1" x 3".  Most holos are affixed to 1/2" x 3/8" smaller labels, though some are loose.   Both labels are acid-free, archival paper on foil-backing.    Please note that these labels will add thickness to the pages, so be aware that pages will not lie as flat.  

Complete list of 31 coin makers' signatures:  (* makers included their holos too)
