To clarify, if I were to purchase two (2) tickets, and I were to win the first prize with one ticket, am I eligible to win the second prize with my second ticket? (Or is it one prize per person, regardless of the number of tickets purchased?)

And a little more FYI:

The original (2015) cards were printed five (5) per sheet (8.5x11") on standard white cardstock, then hand cut on a Dahle 533 Professional Guillotine paper cutter, so many of those first-year THANK YOU doodle cards are a little off, dimension-wise. Some are a bit smaller; some are a bit larger. (However, my personal notes confirm that the intended dimensions of those 2015 doodle cards were exactly 5" x 3.25"...so well done, MJ.)

For the 2016 release, I decided to splurge and have the THANK YOU doodle cards professionally printed as 6" x 4" postcards. (No more measuring and cutting for me!) However, because of the limited size of our padded shipping envelopes (which are just under 4" wide) as well as the smaller of our two standard shipping boxes (which suffers from the same limited width), we were forced to repeat the 2015 hand-cutting process for many of our 2016 shipments. (My personal notes confirm that the intended dimensions of the 2016(B) hand-cut doodle cards were exactly 5.25" x 3.5". Again, well done, MJ.)

As for the "C" vs "Chris w/ smiley" signatures, I really hadn't noticed the signature change, so I have no clue as to when we made the switch, and it's quite likely that we made the switch sometime during 2015 (or 2016) and not exactly between the two releases. (Does that confusing explanation of jumbled words makes sense to anyone?)

MJ has done an OUTSTANDING job of cataloging these Bitcoin Penny™ THANK YOU doodle cards!

Thank you for taking the time to do this, MJ!

Chris

Thanks for the kind words, Sky.

I doodled it. (And I'm not the best poet in the world, but I did my best.) MJ and Lauda asked me if I would make a special doodle for our friend Mitchell as part of a special gift package, and I was honored for the opportunity. MJ and Lauda gave me advice/suggestions/guidance about what to draw, so it's really a group effort. I couldn't have doodled it without them. (Thanks, guys!)

This is definitely one of my favorite (and most elaborate) doodles of all.

Enjoy our special doodle, Mitchell!

The original doodle to Lutpin...




The replacement doodle I sent after he playfully insisted that I owed him a glass of wine...




Thanks for the creative inspiration, Lutpin! This special pair of doodles will make an excellent addition to the doodle book, someday.

Can't wait until next month when I can start spending again. This is first on my shopping list! =)

Well, not so much "colored" as sometimes drawn with blue ink instead of the usual black. Of course, that's solved with a simple asterisk and a footnote stating that the original was drawn in blue ink.

But then, there's one of my favorites, which is colored multi-media...



I couldn't print a book of doodles without including my favorite Dogemon doodle, and it can't be printed in black-and-white, so I'll either need to pay a ton extra for all pages to be color, or simply add the Dogemon doodle to the cover (in full color).

Umm...yes. Dogemon on the back cover would solve the problem. Lots of money saved.

Thanks, minerjones.

Thanks for the encouragement, Zeroxal.

I'll definitely try to make this a quality print, and I'll ask for plenty of input from the community to make it so.

However, I'm not sure that a book of silly doodles justifies a museum quality printing. On the other hand, the people get what the people want. If the people want hardback, full color (for the very few colored doodles), glossy pages, and a limited printing of only XX numbered/signed books, then that's what I'll do. (I could even have a doodle tutorial in the back -- "Learn to doodle in 87 easy steps!" LOL)

This is going to be fun.

Chris

Thank you, minerjones. Since my post above, I've been giving this a bit more thought, and I think that I may just do it. In fact, I'll likely start a new thread dedicated to crowdsourcing ideas about the book, from collectibility (a limited number) to contents (your favorite doodles) --whatever people think might be fun. After all, this should be a fun project for everyone.

I'll keep you posted.

Chris

Actually, I was joking about the book. Please don't get me wrong. I'd absolutely LOVE to print one, and I even started planning the lay-out (in my mind) several months ago. Unfortunately, I can't think of how I might sell enough of them to break even with the publishing costs.

I've never published a book (or a collection of doodles), so maybe I'm totally wrong about the perceived publishing costs vs public interest.

Perhaps I'll make it my resolution for the New Year of 2017 to look into this "doodle book" as a viable project. There's got to be a way to make it worth printing. (And I'm always up for suggestions!)

Thanks again for your interest in this (possible) future project. You guys are the best!

Chris, le Doodlier

Seriously??? You posted this a few seconds before I hit the POST button on the post above. LOL

Luckily, I did remember to make hi-res scans of all 50 encyclopedia mini-doodles. Those autographs mini-doodles will make up their own little chapter in the Bitcoin Penny™ Doodles Book: Senseless Scribbles of a Mad Coinmaker.

Some of the last doodles of 2016...





Happy holidays, everyone!

I'm not sure why it was redeemed (I'm not the original owner), but I do appreciate those people who redeem pre-funded coins. It lets the rest of us know if the coins are really funded or not. And that's a big area of paranoia for me, so I'm happy to see the BTCC Titanium was swept without issue. 


Payment received, cryptoheadd. I'll get this package out ASAP. Thanks again.

^ The highest bidder and winner of this auction! Congratulations, cryptoheadd!

Once payment is sent, please PM me with your shipping info, and we'll get this BTCC Titanium in the mail to you ASAP.


And thanks again to all of you for playing in our little auction.

A little less than 1.5 HOURS left in the auction.

Good luck, everyone!

So, basically, this is a collectible item only (non-redeemable)?

It's pretty darn cool.

LOL Sure, I'll add a special doodle.

Thanks, Sky. You're the best.
