Project
It was the 19th April of 2022 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395188.msg59904848#msg59904848) and Artikando (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=889300) had presented its first bitcoin-themed artistic work.
After a year, his second idea... arrives to public  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448888.0) with a "special stamp" ... Cinderella! ;D (also known as "back of the book stamps", or erinnophile). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_stamp)

Obviously they can be used as a stamp... in addition to the price that would be paid for a shipment, or as a "back of the book for closing a letter" ;D --> See here the FDC! (First Day Cover) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5449989.msg62141048#msg62141048)

In short, this is a limited edition collectible (20 sheets produced - 2 already reserved by authors - here the last auction (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448888.40)). Each sheet is notched and gummed like a classic postage stamp. The proofs were prepared on card stock or A4 paper. No Gum. The mini sheets were printed on Fabriano Italian high quality paper (weight greater than A4).

What authors says?
Cryptoverse is for obvious reasons the achievement of Astrobit's beloved crypto realm.
The jump and moonwalk is where the "astronaut" takes action!
He starts to dance, "jumps because  is happy". Here in this moment he discovers the real potential of these innovations (obviously "B" is at the center, just look at the details ;) )
Even for this work, all the drawings you will see are original and created by Artikando with a BIC pen. Yes, just a pen and fantasy! Even though this is a sales topic, we gladly accept criticism and/or advice to continuously improve ourselves!

Just to clarify - these stamps are like stamps you can lick and stick on paper? I guess the idea is not to rip up the sheets and stick them all over the place, but...just wondering...for science...

Yes you can use like "classic stamps", these are designed like this.
just note these are not gummed on the back so you need to use a white/stick glue.

I have already used one sheet for some envelopes in Italy see here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5449989.0

Thank you all for bids and interest!

According to OP


and double-confirmed on another post (in case it was a typo)


according to my math, the auction is still ongoing. That's the reason I didn't place another bid -although I wanted to place another bid(s).

Not quite sure what a "forum time" is (but irrelevant since "forum time" was not being mentioned in the OP), however the current EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is:

7 March 2024 Thursday
01:44 (am)

"07 MAR 2024 - 19:00  (EDT Time)" is 7pm & currently it is almost 2am...


https://www.utctime.net/edt-time-now

Edit: Even if the "forum time" exists, I am not quite sure if it was "08 Mar 2024 - 00.00" at any place on the planet (when you announced that the auction has ended)

My mistake Sorry @tweetious and everybody, accept my sincere apologies
I made a wrong calculation with time zones auction Is still on going
Please consider end time as announced 7 march 2024 7 pm EDT.

Edit:
Please note below shipping fees (tracked with poste italiane)
EU/Europe area 11 Eur
USA/North america 13 Eur
Rest of the world 16 euro

all good, thanks for the confirmation!
