Personally I have long been a proponent of vellum paper & laser printer for any and all paper wallet functions. This combination is not an ink printing process susceptible to degradation at the same rate of an inkjet on semi gloss which is what many makers used for paper source early on for some reason I cannot understand.
Vellum + laser. Vellum paper is water proof & tear resistant. I can't tear a sheet with bare hands. It also has a semi porous surface. A toner based laser printer prints by melting plastic particulate onto the print medium. This combination should make for long lasting adherence without the risk of ink fade. Directly out of the printer, I cannot even smudge or scratch the ink with a coin. I have left privkeys printed like this in a glass of water for over a week resulting in zero state change. I did not test further as I felt this was adequate for personal use.
I am not in support of printing on any gloss or semi gloss paper surfaces including waterproof variants as adhesion to a gloss surface is inherently more difficult to achieve.

Interesting. I would imagine with so many cards in production there would be some errors. I say these error cards fetch greater value because of there rarity. Especially the off center card. Thanks for sharing
In the card grading industry uneven borders receive a lower grade, therefore always are lesser valued. It's easy to misalign, it's harder to perfectly produce an individual card repeatedly at mass scale. As for ink coloring printing differences... Those end up to the preference of the secondary market. Sometimes it matters to the value sometimes it doesn't.

Should any one of these cards take off in value, cutting the sheet, and stamping the back with a serial number yet to be seen online would be a distinct possibility.
Even if the back of the sheet is entirely blank, at the right valuation, releasing this sheet would still pose a risk of fraudulent items on secondary market.
Though I appreciate the idea of giving back to the forum, I cannot see a way that there isn't a credibility risk at hand.
I purchased a case before this thread came up. As a collector, I now have second thoughts of opening, keeping, returning the product when my initial intention was this to be my first of multiple purchases.
If there is some distinguishing factor that makes this print differentiable between the pack released cards, it could maybe quell this risk.
Please consider.
EDIT: If this was a sheet of base cards, there is no concern imo.
I can see the validity in your concern. I would hope that the value of the sheet intact would outweigh the value of cutting it to fraudulently use them as individual cards. but if there was some distinguishing mark that would be better. Good to see ya Ticked! Hey Mopar! You've highlighted another issue with this giveaway. Your hope cannot be addressed by the manor this is being released to market. Price will be speculative unless the winner sells. Topps will sell at auction blank back half finished cards from the Topps vault. They put a hologram on back. The card is sold publicly. A value is realized and set. Those are always base cards. Never refractors. As for sheets, well for the 2018 ginter release, Topps released not entire sheets, but rather 3 mini cards connected, uncut as a single unit. Also released at auction. Also base mini card. The difference I see between the 3 card & the entire sheet here is that this sheet has a lot of extra material around the borders. This allows for plenty practice cutting a good edge. Further, let's say one particular card takes off to the stratosphere in value. There are plenty of other lesser value uncut cards to practice on in order to perfect completion of the reverse side of a card. At best - release of this item is giving away a half completed product... And it's the hard half...of a chase card. Not only should this not be released to the market in this manner, but it should be destroyed. Again, base cards would be a different matter.

Legend has it Reginald was sent to the moon in order to mine gold for the 2021 BP release. Lovely to see he made it there atleast, but as for the gold, if it exists I have one question and one question alone.... Where doodle?

I've been marinating in thought waiting to craft a reply to this.
First off, kudos on your efforts to innovate. Really love seeing new ideas brought to this space.
First off, easily the most attractive Holo in quite some time. Great job capturing it in photo.
Now the coins. I'll just be honest.
1. Litecoin - overall I dig it. Samsara did it first, do nothing groundbreaking here, except this one comes loaded, so maybe that is a first. Anyhow, I think if find the coin more attractive if the load values were related. Maybe 1 ltc and whatever the ltc/btc ratio is for the btc value at time of making the coin. I think this would be a rad way to time stamp the coin personally.
2. Doge coin. - I hate doge/memecoins. So I didn't like this coin. Then I read the quote on the rim of the obverse. Lol'd. Immediately changed my opinion. Good coin. Good design.
3. Raw transaction - no feedback, but I dig the innovation. Cool idea.
4. Multi value. Really cool, tbh, I think it would be more well executed in bar form. More space for holos/values/abstract. Nobody wants to peel, but if you're gonna do a multi value item, I'd love to see as many holos/keys as possible. Makes it a peel as you need kinda item. Good long term storage physical format for a savings brick. Like the coin, would drool over a bar.
5. Multisig - no thoughts as I am not comfortable with multisig yet, but two of those holos is twice as nice!
Keep it up krogo!!!

Yeah these have been around for a while now, but there's one or two of the altcoins I'm not sure if I can remember ever seeing. Appreciate you sharing with everyone. They also have pretty cool stands if I'm not mistaken and stands with lights that are pretty cool. I've yet to purchase any coins from them so I'm curious if anyone in here has and what they thought about the quality of the coins?
Have a couple sets of these laying around. Will photo at some point and post. They are not low quality imo. Good product.

In maybe 2013 I bought a loaded 2011 cas s1 error coin off eBay for 2x face value. And thus the addiction began. Graded it in 2019 came out as a MS68. Probably the only coin I'd never sell.

What the hell, put me second in line with the same request. Hope you don't mind me piggy-backing here. If so, I'll erase this post.
