Can you add a countdown timer??
THe timing is so confusing

That's however a custom time setting, which can be adjusted in your settings (here), where an offset of 0 would mean default forum time, which is essentially the same as UTC/GMT.

As an ex-programmer / Linux guy, I would totally love it if people would all use that setting of 0 and just use UTC/GMT, it makes it all much easier when we can all be on the same timezone so to speak. I hadn't thought much about my profile setting on that, so I just changed it now, even though reading the 18:00 EDT is just fine as well! Thanks Lutpin!

It all adds to the excitement!

That said, I doubt anyone will be expecting this to be particularly cheap. It is a combination of the 'base' price for the hard cover, and the label set. You can make an educated guess by knowing that the paperback (with more numbers availible) originally sold for just over $100.

I will give you some hints;

Autographs for many very obscure celebrities often are $10-$20 at conventions to sign something of yours, which they aren't factoring in the medium to sign on, shipping back & forth internationally (hopefully no customs), packaging, and time.    The pricing for these isn't cheap, but its within the normal range for autographs, especially for a limited serialized set.

Pricing is planned to be $10 per autograph, sold only as a complete set.  Total edition will be 50 sets made, but all coin makers participating will be given a set out of the 50. Total amount released to buyers will be TBD once I know how many coin makers are participating. 

17+ signatures are included, and both comments were made before the holograms were added.

It is also safe to say that the 50 quantity (larger size) hard-cover will have a higher base price then the 100 quantity paper-back.

i guess that makes it around 400$

Another version of the book this early? I can't really say that I like the idea. However, I'll keep my eye out on this one. Things will certainly get interesting once you release the first batch.

To clarify, the book content is the exactly same (save for some spelling corrections, etc). It it just the format that is changing.
That said, a 2017 book is planned for early next year, at which point the collector base has hopefully grown.

hey,

so we have to pay within 12h but we won't get it till like August???

I'm pretty sure that's correct, but I don't know the date. If it makes you feel better, I bought a signature series edition of the first one back in like December (I think?), and I am still waiting for it!   (PDF is fine for now)!

Just so it is on the record.. the books are being distributed next week! MinerJones is taking care of it, and is excellent at what he does. The delays that took place with the paper-back will not happen this time around

12h is not a hard deadline, more to keep the train moving.

Timeline for production:

Task-list 1
Howard sends out labels
Labels signed & holograms sealed
Labels sent back to Howard
Howard puts labels into sets

Task-list 2
Minor book edits are completed
Book size is re-formatted. Cover is designed.
Book is submitted, along with metadata. Allow 1 week for approval
Book is printed. Allow up to 12 business days (hard-covers take longer)
Book is shipped to distributor (2-3 days)

Combined tasks:
Affix all labels to the books
Books are packaged and and sent off to buyers

[owlcatz]

30 minutes!

As tempted as I am, if I had not already bought a signed book, I would try for this, but I think I will have to pass. Good luck to you all, though!
