This morning I received emails from the forum containing attachments.  It was strange but I realized what occurred. The OP who made a new post, included a google doc link.  Gmail users automatically see google doc files as attachments in their emails.

What's concerning is that, while Gmail scans these docs files for malware, there could be remote code hidden that remains undetected, or any number of advanced attacks through this mechanism.  And users receiving an email from the forum may be more likely to click the attachment.  I'm not sure what the potential fix is, but just wanted to give people a heads up that this type of attachment could reach anyone's inbox who is watching a subforum or thread and gets email alerts.  

[Topps Allen & Ginter Reference Thread]

Topps Allen & Ginter Reference Thread

Last Updated: Sept 21, 2019

This reference thread is intended to contain information about all versions of cryptocurrency cards found in the Topps Allen & Ginter baseball card series.  Some have referred to this card as Bitcoin's "Rookie Card" because it is the first time a mainstream collectible card series has recognized bitcoin or cryptocurrency.  Topps released this card as part of the 2018 Allen and Ginter baseball card series, and it is numbered 83 out of 300 within the base set.  

Allen and Ginter was the Richmond, Virginia, tobacco manufacturing firm formed in 1865, and created and marketed the first cigarette cards for collecting and trading.  In 2006 Topps revived the brand and began issuing Allen and Ginter cards as part of their product lineup.  The Allen and Ginter cards are known for featuring hand painted cards of current baseball players, as well as various insert sets featuring standout athletes in other sports, pop culture icons, and historical figures.  

The 2018 Allen and Ginter series was released on the week of July 18th, 2018.  Following the release of the regular 2018 Allen and Ginter series, Topps released the more limited 2018 Ginter X series boxes a few weeks later on August 8th, 2018.  The X series feature cards which have a black or dark background.  

The various versions of #83 cards are listed below, and are grouped by which type of packs or boxes the cards were found.  In total, there are 25 varieties of the #83 Cryptocurrency card documented in this thread.  23 of the 25 types of cards have been identified and photographed.

      Note: The first ~50 of the revised hardcover edition did contain an error. A glitch in the publishing software caused two of Elias' personal vacation photo's to be used in place of the Cryptolator Unchained Silver 1 BTC. The images can be seen on page 38 and 150.  A second revised edition of the book was released which contained an extra page which described some of these errors.

Auctioning original Newsweek from March 2014 - Bitcoin's Face: The Mystery Man Behind the Crypto-Currency  

This is the magazine which Newsweek erroniously claims that Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of Bitcoin.  One of the more well known magazine covers featuring bitcoin, they are becoming harder to find.  This one in particular is in excellent condition and has been kept in a protective sleeve since purchasing it about a year ago.

Bids start at 0.01 BTC

Minimum Bid increments of 0.01 BTC

Auction Ends: Friday, August 5, 2016 at 7:00:00 PM (EST) New York Time

Sniping policy: No Sniping.  All Bids within 5 minutes of the end time and after will extend the auction by 5 minutes.

Shipping approx. - 0.01 BTC within the U.S. or 0.015 BTC to E.U.  I will contact winning bidder to arrange shipping options. Escrow available on request through blazed/ognasty.  

This is a thread to list out the various coins that I would be interested in buying to have in my collection.  I've seen many of these come up for sale or auction, but I was either not available to purchase or it was a price I wasn't quite willing to spend.  I'll entertain all asking prices, just shoot me a PM or reply to this thread. For some I will pay a higher premium than others based on  the rarity or condition of the coin. 

WTB the following:

• 2011 Casascius 1 BTC Series 2 (this is not the error coin but the one that came after it).
• 25 BTC redeemed/peeled Casascius coin
• 2014 Cryptonic Monero silver coin
• BHCoins (interested in any of these, I don't currently own any)
• 2015 Kialara Gold
• Crypto Imperator 100k Silver Dogecoin
• TGBEX 0.5 or 1 BTC
• Titan 0.5 or 1 BTC

If we agree on a price and you have good forum trust + send a picture with your username/date on it, then we shouldn't need escrow.  Otherwise I prefer Blazed for escrow.  Shipping would be to the USA, so factor that in if you're outside US and providing a quote.

Yesterday he was posting in the Altcoin forum that he was selling Dogecoins for cheap.  This transaction was for 25 million Dogecoins: https://blockchain.info/tx-index/e662db3e5e181826184a46bc4c538e2043512e6663e641cdf9bc340a90f1ee11

The seller has not replied to any of my most recent messages.  He is a scammer and should be treated as such. 

When researching coins, I kept going to each coins website or page here at bitcointalk in order to see things like total # of coins, block rewards, etc.  So I put together:

Feedback/suggestions welcome.  It's pretty basic due to my limited programming skills, but I'm interested in all suggestions.
