Part 4 (new items)

Update


I have found this interesting table related the frequency of x-digits inside each token.
So even a black token (4 digits) can be an interesting stamp to collect, but I will not give so many importance or any surplus (just a curiosity).

For what I know the only difference is related the way you can buy the item and not the stamp itself.
But lets see if Austrian postage will provide a special cover/physical support to stamps redeemed.

How the onchain shop (500 limited edition stamps) differentiates from the rest 149500 stamps? The physical stamp that you receive from the onchain shop (after filling the form with shipping address details) is the same as the rest of the physical stamps? Since you receive the digital token at the time of purchase, how the physical token looks like? (ie the right silver scratching area with the digital token is missing?)

Very well done!

PART 2
Austrian postage are famous for their innovations. It seems that this time they have launched something pretty interesting that can receive a lot of attention also from "the masses" and not only from collectors.
Plus they have achieved the interest of an entire Blockchain communities, since the buzz-word on these last days around these stamps is already enormous.
I decided to create this guide / catalog in order to have a common basis for discussion, evaluation and classification of this specific stamp.
Please see PART 5 for "definitions" and PART 7 with some useful links for any biggest update.

PART 3
There are 5 tokens available (apparently you can discriminate ONLY with an online system, otherwise you should download an entire list). but... if you look better... Each stamps is DIFFERENT from another one.
They have emitted 150.000 singular stamps!  You can't assume that for all tokens there is the same “interest”... but each stamp is interesting is a sort of variety with a series of unique data! (code [1]) ^[6]
Here I create a list of all combinations possible, with a minimum of interest for a COLLECTOR.
Please note, there is not any value, but a simple grade of scarcity (I will keep update).
