Hello again!

Following the success of the first run of four in my Cryptodeck release, im pleased to announce the second run, which will be diamonds!

Something else which i have been keeping quiet about is the super secret JOKERS! I have been working quite closely with "someone" on here and he has come up with something which i believe is quite incredible.  

Can you guess who done it?? 😂

Pictured below is AN ALUMINUM prototype of the joker, this was done before we added the lettering in the top and bottom corners however I have also provided s computer rendition of the image which the silver cards will be lifted from.

NOTE: There will only be 2 jokers made and they will NOT be for sale or auction. During the diamonds auction i will release ONE. This will be a game of "find the joker", i will secrete him somewhere on the internet and point you in the right direction, its your job to find him. There will only be one winner and il release the other joker later on in the Cryptodeck releases

Everything will be the same as before except the framed holders, which i sacked off because quite a few of them were damaged straight out the packaging which in turn delayed shipping of the spades while i sourced replacements.

The diamonds are currently being made and i expect them to be finished by the end of the week. Following that, i will be sending them to the Edinburgh Assay office for testing and for final hallmarking and then putting up a 7 day auction on here.

Below i will post some rough pictures of the current, unpolished state of these and some of the images to serve as a teaser.

Thank you for your continued support,

I'll make sure to have enough popcorn ready :)

That joker auction is gonna get nasty

Jokers are NOT being auctioned

Viz

oops!... cool idea of what to do for the joker though. Looking forward to it

That Joker looks really cool! What do you mean by 'release ONE' after saying they will not be available for sale or auction?

To be clearer, these wont be auctioned or sold. I will be hiding the joker on the internet somewhere with a very specific message attached to it. If you can relay this message to me before anyone else, you can claim the joker 😉

Everyone enjoys a treasure hunt  :)

Sounds cool! Looking forward to the hunt ;D.

Quick update!

Tomorrow i will have everything in hand, all the diamonds and the jokers too! I will post pics on here and maybe dish out a bit more info on how to find a joker. If there is enough interest for me to do so

Here is a truckload full of interest for ya !  :D ;)

Greets Hank

>find a joker

Like the sound :o

Anyone has an equal chance to find it. It should be fun

Are you joking?  ::)  ;D

The first silver joker!

Hand doodled by the man himself at BITCOINPENNY!

Simply stunning  :)

That special Joker was a fun project! Thanks for allowing me the opportunity, Corrosive! :)

Regards,
Chris

Holy shit that's amazing!!  :o

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.

https://i.ibb.co/BB6qSnw/20190906-195848.jpg (https://ibb.co/VTC2Pw3)

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

https://i.ibb.co/Ytzhtz7/20190907-100824.jpg (https://ibb.co/55NL5NW)

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

I love seeing procedural pics, thanks for sharing!

All cards are now on the way to Edinburgh for hallmarking now. Hopefully have them back this week! Then auction

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

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.

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.

Feedback required! Please let me know how you all feel about this!

I feel very good about it. :)

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.

Looks perfect in my eyes.

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

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.

Well said, JanEmil.

Regards,
Chris

Waiting on a couple of Jokers  :)

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?

https://i.imgur.com/y2fUsPah.jpg (https://imgur.com/y2fUsPa)

I'll try to get some better pictures later.

Waiting for the next suit.
-Dave

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.

Spades has been done and auctioned back in August.
