Are these for sale Or will they be. I would like to purchase

I am currently working on producing the third suit of this deck, which will be the CLUBS. Once they have finished the etching stage, i will put up an ANN regarding them.

Please note that the other Joker in the deck will not be released until the final suit(hearts)

ETA on Clubs ANN. 1-2 weeks


Has spades been done yet or is that still in the works?   I need the ace of spades because you know, motorhead.

They have arrived.
Sorry about the crappy picture. I think I can actually hear Corrosive crying at the quality of the image. What can I say, I spend all my money on BTC stuff and none on a digital cameras.
So, anyone else want to show off their cards?



I'll try to get some better pictures later.

Waiting for the next suit.

Collectibles are 1/2 the item and 1/2 the story about them.
Your story is worth 100%.

Well said, JanEmil.

These cards are causing quite a stir. My guess is there will only be one deck made? That’s like 56 cards in total? Am I right? If that’s the case I will have to lay my dirty paws on one (with white cotton gloves on of course)

I patiently await this auction.

Corrosive, I understand that you are worried, but I think these look amazing and it's clear that your poured heart into it. You care a lot about your product, so I trust your judgement.

Update time.

I have taken the diamonds to a jeweller and he will be doing the final polish on these. I have tried my very best to show the polish lines on these which simply cannot be removed. This is due to the silver being rolled during the manufacture process, it causes these tiny little dimples to appear..... Well..... When you try to polish these flat, what happens is these tiny little dimples sometimes flake off and cause these tiny little lines to appear during the polishing process.

I can guarantee you that these are mirror polished to a very high level. The tiny polish lines you see are only visible at certain angles. I thought it would be unfair just to show you guys pics of these that didn't show the imperfections.  What is up for auction is a hand finished product and as such, will not be absolutely flawless and machine perfect like the coins you are used to buying. PLEASE take that into consideration if you plan on bidding.

I will include some pics here that show off the level of mirror finish, but also some pics from those angles which show the flaws too.


Here is a link to my YouTube with a very quick video.

Here is a pic of all the diamonds, they have had their first polish to get rid of the scorches and burrs.

Next step now is to get them sent off to an English metal finisher to get that flawless mirror polish I think these really need.

A slight issue here is that i disappear on vacation for two weeks quite soon so the auction MIGHT need to wait until i return.

And that's the cards back in my possession now. The assay office took MUCH longer than I'd planned for.

From here what iv gotta do is

1-get the cards mirror polished
2-get my photographer in to get pics
And 3- get this auction started!

Il keep you guys in the loop for now but at this moment its looking like next Friday is auction day. All going well....

Cheers

A quick look at the cards I currently have and a peak into the work going into them.

Here you can see all of the jokers and diamonds.



Let me explain.....

There are 3 silver jokers, one of which has a big flaw in it so il be sending that out to the man who drew the imagery, Bitcoinpenny. The other two will have to be "found" by a lucky person.

The other two jokers you see are in aluminium and were the test pieces. One of these aluminium jokers will be getting sent to Minerjones.

That leaves one aluminium Joker which i dont know what to do with.

Here is the King of Diamonds as it appears straight off the machine...



And heres how it looks after about 40 odd minutes of polishing and buffing



Iv got a busy day of polishing ahead of me🤣


Next step is to get these sent to Edinburgh for hallmarking and then ALL GOING WELL, the 7 day auction will go live next Friday
