I am selling my extensive library of scripophily-related literature for Bitcoin. For 1 Bitcoin, to be precise.

Scripophily is basically the hobby of collecting printed bonds and share certificates. Those of you who are not familiar with it can read more about it on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripophily . It has been around for at least 50 years now and, during this time, a rather significant number of books, periodicals, auction catalogues, etc. have been published on the subject.

My library is by far one of the largest in the world, both in terms of volume and in terms of scope. There are way over 1,000 different items including scores of auction catalogues, handbooks, runs of periodicals, pamphlets, etc., spanning several decades of scripophily-related activity worldwide and also quite a number of different languages, besides English.

Compiling a detailed list of all the items in this library would end up generating labour costs worth more than 1 Bitcoin, so I'm afraid I can't do that. I can provide, however, some photos (the library is now arranged on shelves in a clean and modern storage facility) and a more detailed listing of the main titles included, as well as the runs of periodicals and auction catalogues inside. In case anybody is genuinely interested, just reply here or PM me.

Viewing of the library could also be arranged, at its current location (Frankfurt area, Germany).

As far as shipping is concerned, we are talking about pretty much a small van full of books. I could deliver the library myself anywhere in Germany for a small flat fee (something like EUR 200 or so). I could also deliver it to most other European countries in the West/North/Centre/South-West of Europe, also for a flat fee (expect something in the region of EUR 500, depending on the location). Shipping to any other location, like the US or Asia, is of course possible, however I really can't estimate how much that would cost.

You might want to add the photos to your main post.

Ignore scammers on Skype, Telegram, etc. I will only ever contact you via forum PMs. See profile for fingerprint.

Up-date: due to the recent BTC price fluctuations, the library is now 1.5 BTC, only until the end of the year.

Here are some pictures:
