Hopefully by now some of you are receiving your regular edition copy of the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies
Along with Elias and Matthew, I helped write some parts of the book, took roughly half of the photographs and served as editor. I am now assembling all the signature editions.
In a past life, I used to collect autographs from celebrities both in person and in the mail.
I wanted to gauge interest on collecting autographs from the various coin makers in the Encyclopedia. This would be open to anyone who purchased a regular or Signature Edition.
I am proposing putting together a list of all the coin makers who are willing to sign some labels I provide. I would mail them the official acid free labels we used to have Matthew (in UK) sign, then have those coin makers return the labels to me in the same envelope with a return label and postage already prepared inside. All the packages of blank labels from me can be sent at the same time, so we dont have to wait for each person one at a time. This could possibly be done within a couple of weeks I assume.
I then collect all the various signed labels, collate them into a set and mail out to interested buyers. Each maker that participated could get a free set or donation as a thank you, depending on how many sets are left and their preference. Proceeds of the sale of the autographs would cover my postage, supplies, possible import taxes, time, with a 5% portion made as a donation to a charity. Pricing depends solely on how many coin makers & buyers sign up and what country they live in with regards to shipping from the US.
At the end, I mail out a set to each buyer / maker and they can put the labels on each maker's page in the Encyclopedia or on empty pages in the front.
Coin Makers signatures (35) * Blazed (Silver Wallets) * Wheelz1200 (Genesis Coins) (Note: Being given 20 holos, so will offer for those purchasing) * OgNasty (Nasty Fans) *** BitcoinPenny * TheNewAnon135246 (LuckyBit) Technomage (Denarium) * TGBEX gravitate (Microsoul) * FiniteByDesign * SHIBANU * Bitguy2016 (aka Bitguy101...Cryptofreeze) * TitanBTC (Titan Bitcoins) Kialara * bigtimespaghetti (Anarcoins & Unobtanium Silver Wallets) * CryptoImperator * smoothie (Lealana) * Cryptolator *** MrWhiteBites (Cryptogifts Bitcoin, Litecoin, Peercoin, and I/O Tokens) * ny2cafuse (Guldencoin) *** cryptonic21 (Cryptonic Monero & Bitcoin) AussieBTCs * CoinHoarder (Cryptovest Litecoins) * serp Socal (Vericoin) * defcon23 (ometeotl) Satori (Japanese poker chips) *** mjb Monetarymetals (maker of the first Bitcoin themed round) Infinitum Bitcoins * miffman (Bitpieces) Note: Being given only a few holos, so will offer for those purchasing * Rmcdermott927 (Cryptocracy) * Xboxthreefixme (Supreme BTC) * killyou2 (3D Printed DIY Coins) * pawnshop770 (Z Mint) BTCC Mint * NattyLiteCoin (NattyMind)
Extras included in every set: - BitcoinPenny 2" x 4" Doodle Sketch - Up to 25 Holograms (denoted above with *. NOTE: If maker does not use holograms, denoted with *** ) - Also Ravenbit and bhCoins Holograms (Note: Being given only a few bhCoins holos, so will offer for those purchasing) - bithalo and Elianite author signatures - Some other surprises
EDIT: Removed the list of potential buyers, now that the project is under way. Sales are expected to begin in about a month from now.

I would be interested in having some more autographs on my book.
How much would you charge for this?

I would be willing to hear people's opinions. Like I mentioned earlier...it really depends on how many buyers (splitting up postage costs) and how many makers agree to sign the labels. Not sure what a reasonable price is yet. A few dollars per signed coin maker's label? I'll have to crunch the numbers to see what covers costs.

I'm going to do my best to separate coin makers from buyers. Let me know if I put someone in the wrong place.
Thank you so far for the interest.

I like your idea Bithalo, its a nice thing having the autographs of artist that created the coins. I will be interested if the price isn't too high.

Please let me know.....asap ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I will need to hold some of the books while the labels are signed. I really like this idea!!! Thanks ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I guess we can see if it makes sense for people to wait on their sig editions or just have me ship these labels direct to them. Costs for a envelope won't be too much for labels alone. It may be several weeks before I get these back from the makers. There will be a lot of logistics and details to figure out as well.

Yes, I would be interested as a buyer as well since I have a signature edition coming. You mentioned that it was signed by Gravitate as well? I missed that part in Elianite's thread, if so... Thanks.

He hasn't agreed yet. The OP shows the makers who have expressed interest so far. I may send a few makers a PM in a couple days in case they hadn't seen the thread.
