[INFO]-Crypto Stamps- Collectable Blockchain postage stamps

Probably I have found a "variety" on CS1. (on the picture this is a black one token)

Take a look on the upper left corner of your stamp. Probably you can find these two black points.
It's not common since looking a lot of stamps on ebay I have seen just in a couple of items.

Some interesting items and also security issues with these new stamps mentioned on the following thread that all collectors should be aware of.....a good read.

Yes, I don't want to split up the conversation too much, if possible and not related to my sale, please quote from my thread and post here for discussion. Thank you.

For people not familiar with the philatelic worlds definitions of Errors, freaks, and oddities varieties, here is a good intro...

Errors, freaks, and oddities

[Sat0shisGhost]

quote from kryptowerk's sale thread:

hate to say it - with all the flaws in these stamps security wise - at least in my opinion, it essentially makes the resale value worthless as there is no 100% way to be certain you are not getting screwed. Even if you think you can trust the person. Because someone could have pilfered the codes before they got them.

IMO the only solution at this point is for resellers (especially for higher value red stamps) to use the flashlight method to redeem the code and then send the ERC-721 to the buyer's ETH address when they mail the stamp.
This is going to hinder ebay sales, where many buyers and sellers aren't crypto savvy, but hopefully shouldn't be much of an issue for sales on this forum.

I haven't decided what I'll be doing if I resell my physical stamps but I am considering this.

In one way, it's actually a feature because you can keep the physical stamp in 'mint' condition and still redeem the ERC-721.

Droove around with receipts from mailbox to catch the delivery car and found it with luck,

a really charming driver girl gave me 2 fatty envelops under a tiny summer rain to keep the scene fresh.

Post.at envelops, Redeemed, cost of gas, Safe Low (1 kilometer).

It strongly reminds me of the Panini football images of my childhood, all those little packages to open,
the little frenzy of contentment by keeping the suspense going and the friends to swap the doubles stacked and surrounded by a rubber band.

Thanks Crypto Stamps team and Post.at for this very enjoyable moment.

Presale orders at home, Safu.

Rololeau looking good, Touching with eyes only so far.

Concerning the current outrages fees for redeeming presale tokens, Andreas Petterson (one of the developers of the Crypto Stamp 2.0) announced the following today:

"There will be several improvements. The first which will go live likely early next week will be an option to redeem PS tokens directly to wallets which will lower gas costs on average by significant amounts. note this will help only presale redemptions > 10. other improvements are in the pipeline as well."

This are good news! I am also excited for the other ten approvements they want to add.

....

In Italian we say: "varietà di riporto" that it should be small difference in a design of a stamp that allow to differentiate a stamp from other ones in a same emission. I don't know how it's called in English @krogothmanhattan maybe you are aware of the right term https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filatelia I have found this definition on wikipedia (Italian). Below a generic example http://www.catalogospecializzato.it/francobolli/varieta-riporto/riporto-1945-1954/4511/653

If some one want check CS1 I am pretty sure there are more stamps with these 2 black dots on the upper left corner

I think the Austrian Post's motto: "You order one stamp, you get one." So you get a stamp and a NFT, that's it. After you get it they don't care what you want to with it. not their responsibility for resales, ebay,....

The seal from the outer package was first to prevent staff/customers to pre-scan the stamp in the post office branches. But I think they did not think about the possibility that online buyers can do pre-scan at home without breaking the seal and send the stamps back. In Austria (maybe European Union) you can send back online ordered items within 14days if the items are in original condition, except those stamps made with customer's instructions like stamped CS.

I would think that too. But since you could order stamped stamps in the main sale, this statement is invalid again. Because for stamping you have to open the card.
I do not know whether they are stamped by hand or by machine. But if they are stamped by hand and the person knows about the trick with flashlight...

yeah, but those are other staff from the Austrian Post. I think not many staff are working in the distribution department for online philately orders. Last year many red stamps came directly from the online orders and I don't think that those staff pre-select the stamps. They are busy with packing 100k+ stamps. ^^ But of course nobody can give guarantee.

[Tyffosy]

The printing of the three-dimensional barcode is the last impression, so on some postage stamps the code displaced.

I really enjoyed watching this video of crypto 2.0 manufacturing, so we have an idea.

When is the stamp more valuable? When the seal is unbroken and not stamped or when the seal is broken and there is a stamp on it. Of course under the condition of same colour and same digit.

Hi collectors!

What means "presale redemptions" ?

I have found a Doge, Black token, 5 Digits, ONLY LETTERS. Did you know how many pieces are available?
I downloaded the spreadsheet  Auswertung CS 2 .xlsx from github but it's not listed there
https://github.com/Viacoinnetwork/Crypto-Stamp/tree/master/CS2

Any suggestion?

most of my 5digits are only letters. the important fact is if the letters are only lowercase or only uppercase. See this table:

What means "presale redemptions" ?

The terms on your sheet are referring to the following sales:

Physical Sale:     1. Physical Presale on Webshop; 2. Regular Sale on Webshop for €; 3. Regular Sale in Austrian Post Offices for €.

Presale Redemption:     1. Onchain Presale with 2500 pieces each animal for 7€ in ETH each (started in May, "Presale-Vouchers/Tokens" can now be redeemed for regular tokens.).

Onchain Shop:     1. Regular Onchain Sale after the 25.06.2020 for ETH.

[chronicsky]

This Llama for example
FRONT

'Österreich' meaning Austria
'700' signifying 700 euro cents. Cost of a single stamp being €7.
'HIER ABZIEHEN' saying 'PULL OFF HERE' to pull it off and use as a stamp.
QR Code that takes you to the stamp ID.
BACK

[1] signifies its ID which is a number/digit and can be used to check them over crypto.post.at or opensea.

[2] is the 12 word seed that you can use to redeem your physical stamps over at https://crypto.post.at/collection/collectionname




The 220,000 physical stamps can be redeemed so they will appear on blockchain, and the physical stamp can be used as is.

The other 20,000 stamps will be available for Redemption at crypto.post.at and the physical counterpart will be sent to the address provided.


Initial means not sold yet.
Sold means it was sold to someone.
None should mean the shop status doesn't apply as it's a physically sold stamp.
The additional states of "ShippingSubmitted" and "ShippingConfirmed" will appear once shipping the physical stamps for those sold on chain will be possible again.

DO NOT USE OPENSEA TO MAKE ANY TRANSFER OF A STAMP/PRESALE TOKEN TO A COLLECTION:
OPENSEA used Transfer()
CRYPTO.POST.AT uses Safe.Transfer()

The stamps transferred to a collection using opensea, will not be considered transferred and thus won't contribute towards achievement.
You can use opensea to transfer to a wallet and then move the stamps to collection using crypto.post.at only.

Thanks Chronicsky.

Here another interesting table :

[haloxon]

I hope you all will receive your pre-ordered stamps.
my doge pre-sale order with (!) order confirmation has not arrived (the other motifs came within 2 days).
now after 11 days I called the philately, they checked their systems re my orders, result: "no there is no doge order, has never been one. order confirmation is not binding. online shop was congested during pre-sale. this can happen."

i got two emails - one that my pre-order had shipped but gave no tracking and then a second email for the order i placed on the 25th, that one had a tracking. but the tracking has nothing showing yet.
