Here it is, finally! I am delighted to present to you guys the 4th and final suit of the Cryptodeck...... THE HEARTS!

ALL BIDS ON PREVIOUS AUCTION ARE NULL AND VOID. THIS IS THE AUCTION THREAD NOW!

I can only apologise for the time taken on producing these! This run has been crippled by delays because of the virus but its done at last, albeit a bit later than I had anticipated. This thread will be for the auction of the Heart cards only, for information on the Joker raffle, please see my other post on the board which will run in tandem with this.


https://i.ibb.co/Ln8bqmc/rf4.jpg (https://ibb.co/Gc0B1y8)

This auction will have 13 lots which I will list underneath and will consist of the Hearts only.


What is included in each lot is as follows

1x Unique .999 solid silver playing card
1x Polymerbit first ever COA, done on a polymer medium
1x Magnetic acrylic case
1x Polishing rag
All of which will arrive contained within a black gusseted envelope



These .999 silver playing cards are the standard poker size, rounded up (65mmx 90mm) and are 0.5mm thick. This is the closest dimensions i could use to achieve a weight of very close to 1oz. They did not arrive to me in a polished state so I have done my very best to get them to as close to a mirror finish as possible.

There WILL be imperfections on these cards due to the fact they have been hand polished! I have done my best to get the finish to as high a level as possible, they absolutely DO have a mirror finish but at the same time, because of the nature of them being hand finished please dont expect a machine perfect and defect free card!  The silver, because it was rolled, has lots of tiny dimples which are impossible to remove without the removed pieces getting caught on the polishing mop and dragging across the surface. I have been as open about the finish on these as possible and got the photographer to try his best to make sure these flaws are visible in the pictures taken.

Each card takes about 6 hours total machine time to make and is done by use of a fiber laser. The design was lifted from an existing set of playing cards and has been changed, not only to include the Bitcoin B, but also to incorporate the circuitry which serves as the digital theme.

On each card, EVERY pip has the circuitry design on it which can be seen quite clearly under a magnifying glass, it is very very fine detail and is almost undetectable to the human eyeball!
 Please note, that i know this is a Diamond pip, however, the same circuitry is imbedded within the Hearts too....

The COA provided in the package was done by Polymerbit on the forum and is made, funnily enough, from polymer. It is a work of art in itself and as far as I am aware, is the first COA that they have done. It is absolutely beautiful

Something else which I think is noteworthy is that all of these cards have been sent to the Edinburgh Assay office for testing and each one bears my unique hallmark, the 999 to verify purity and the logo for the Edinburgh office itself. This is VERY small and i have done my best to picture it here....

Here are some pics which include every card in the set....

for some reason, I am missing a four from these imnages. it kinda looks like a 6 TBH, only with 2 less pips :D

Heads up everyone!

I have changed the minimum bid to 0.0005 (approx 25usd)

Admittedly i copy pasted the bid template from a previous auction but i feel that a 50 buck minimum bid is a bit excessive.

Cheers, as you were chaps

I was following this auction post-by-post during the last minutes.

Then I went back and realised that a bid was modified (ie changed, after it was placed... without any further notification by the user).

@corrosive Is this action allowed in this auction?

Same, just saw I was outbided for card 6...

Number 6, post was also modified and no further notice...

kryptowerks bid will stand as it wasnt an edit. he corrected his bid in a self quote. The correction was also the highest bid at that time. im frantically flying through everyones posts and replies just now. apologies for my shortness. i will address this issue in more detail later. Thank you

I agree, this is hard to follow. I am trying my best

https://loyce.club/archive/posts/5640/56406860.html

He corrected his correction...

If not mistaken, general auction policies are that when a bid is being modified, then it is invalid. However, there is no mention in the OP (if bid modifications are allowed)....

https://loyce.club/archive/posts/5640/56406875.html


3   0.003   Abiky   CLOSED

Assuming one magnitude lower.

Lot Q @ 0.005

OK. i will offer this as a solution.
I will make the winning bid for 6 NULL AND VOID as i can see the issue. I will run the auction for #6 again. That way everyone gets a fair crack at it and it eliminates the issue at hand.

 If there is any confusion regarding the 3, I will do the same for that as well.

please give me time to assess the situation.

Thank you to everyone who bid on these cards! this auction concludes the Cryptodeck.

Regarding the editing of the bids on 3 and 6, I feel that the FAIREST thing to do in this scenario is to re list both lots in a separate auction and simply run them again. I can only apologise for letting this happen. Juggling 13 live lots is a tricky thing to do and I can only try to do what I think is the right thing.

Info regarding these lots will be released tomorrow once i sleep on my decision.

That aside. THANK YOU  all for participating. I will be in touch with the winners to get shipping details etc.


oh.........1 other thing! once the 3 and 6 are finished I can get round to drawing the raffle for the 2nd Joker.

cheers all, Corrosive

Yes it was me. Very sorry about that, I noticed a few minutes max. after posting I had bid 0.003 for the Q (which was already bid by someobe previous of my post)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5317274.msg56406814#msg56406814
Changed it as soon as I noticed. Then noticed I should better make a new post and thus created my "correction" post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5317274.msg56406860#msg56406860

Sorry, in the heat of the moment I forgot correct bidding etiquette, but since no new Q bids between my "edit" and "correction" were placed, I think it does not matter too much.

Also note: I did not change any of the other bids, just the Q bid.

my objection was for "3   0.003   Abiky   CLOSED", not for your bid.

Okay, still sorry for any confusion I may have caused. Editing bids just isn't good practice. :\

So We all get a shot at the six again?

Back on main pc. let me know if the six goes back to auction. As I have the six of diamonds. Would like a pair of sixes.

OK.

I have decided yo go through with my re run of the auctions for the 3 and 6.

This will be posted up tomorrow and will run until 7pm on Sunday. I know its an extra week delay on the Joker raffle but we will get there in the end.

Starting price will be zero.

Cheers guys

A suggestion.

0.0001 vs 0.0005 minimum increases  may lead to  a more lively bidding war.
