I just want to give a nod to the tem at Ballet Crypto wallets (and, by extension MoparMiningLLC) for having created what I consider an essential product to securely cold-store crypto in an offline environment. I've discovered I can also add many crypto (coins and tokens) via their app and even imported forked variants of bitcoin via privkeys.
My only concern (and it's more a thought bubble) is wondering how durable the scratch off component of the metal cards are given I've heard stories of people having found old (unscratched) scratch lottery tickets in books or birthday/Christmas cards, scratching them off as best they can only to have the prize denied due to the scratch film having hardened against the playing coupon and being un-scratchable.

Received my PURE tenth, they look great in person. While I do like the acrylic slab they come in, I wish there was a regular plastic case included too.

a very large and beautifully presented Ballet collection. for me only the BTC wallets count - but everyone collects as he sees fit.
it will be really hard to get the rest of the editions - but wish you much success and luck. maybe someone will find it.
my current ballet collection -
https://streamable.com/9ymgz0
There are a handful that I am still missing.
1. 24k gold plated First Day of Issue REAL Bitcoin
2. 24k gold plated REAL XRP
3. 24k gold plated REAL Ethereum
4. Bitcoin Block 12.5 BTC
5. Bitcoin Block 6.25 BTC
6. Litcoin Block 12.5 LTC
7. FirstBI Exchange
8. REAL Digibyte
9. REAL ZG
That last 6 will be harder to get, partially as some of them are quite expensive due to the load value and no longer being made. Would settle for peeled BTC blocks even. And the last 3 were not publicly released.
If anyone knows of any others that are out there and not in my collection or in the list above, please let me know!

"So when exchanges claim, 98% of our funds are safe in cold storage, that fools the consumer"
Bobby shares his insights as to how exchanges are still vulnerable to attacks despite claiming most of their funds are in cold storage.

Strange. They took down the link and deleted the Facebook post. I wonder if it wasn’t supposed to be released yet. I managed to place an order this morning. We’ll see if it fills.
yea let me know if it does. and yea maybe someone jumped the gun.

yea I saw this but they do not go very well into details - it appears that it can be loaded but not withdrawn?
I would have liked to see the backside, but my assumption after reading this is that all of the key information will be on the back.
The collectible is sold as an empty container that users can load with bitcoin through the Ballet Crypto app or by simply transferring BTC to the address shown on the collectible or the app.
They also describe it as a physical bearer asset, which implies the keys would have to be on it somewhere.
they also state it needs no account or password. so how is the private key encrypted? is there one? or?
My assumption there is that they mean no online account or password is needed, which is true, as you don't need to setup an account or set a password to use the Ballet app. Further evidence of this is that they also describe their Bitcoin Block product the same way, which clearly has keys on that:
Bitcoin BLOCKs are physical bearer assets, with no external dependencies such as passwords or third-party accounts. Whoever has physical possession of the Bitcoin BLOCK controls the funds.
I agree, they should have posted more images, and I suspect they will eventually. Their current real series wallets have a bunch of wasted space on the back, so I'm assuming they made this design to make more use of both sides.
very true - just leaves much to the imagination when they dont show the full card. It could be like the block products like you said. I await to see what further info they release.

I am hoping to be able to buy them unloaded - I would prefer that vs loaded ones.
Where do we put the request in for denomination in sats?
looks like another one in the works too
Ballet are just teasing now. Shut up and take my money
