Hi everyone,

I am looking for a pure Price Check / Evaluation on a rare piece of early Bitcoin commercial history found in Japan.

This is a cut piece of an original shipping envelope from MemoryDealers Japan (株式会社メモリーディーラーズ). I don't know the exact year, but it is from the early era when Roger Ver was operating out of Tokyo (around 2011-2013).

The front clearly displays the vintage "BITCOIN preferred here" and "BLOCKCHAIN" blue dot design, alongside the official Japanese company name and their old office address in Shibuya, Tokyo.

*** IMAGES ***

Back: https://i.postimg.cc/dt2b6BXc/back.jpg
Zoom: https://i.postimg.cc/m2Yvjwn0/large.png

**Item Details:**
- It is a cut piece (only the main illustrated/printed section of the envelope has been preserved).
- The back side shows texture where the original inner bubble wrap was carefully peeled off long ago to store it flat in a file.
- It was originally used to ship networking hardware/equipment purchased with Bitcoin in Japan.

Given its hyper-localized nature (Japanese text/address) and the fact that almost all of these shipping envelopes were thrown away as trash by buyers back then, I believe the survival rate of this specific Japanese version is near zero.

I would highly appreciate the insights and expertise of the Collectibles community here:
1. Has a Japanese-labeled MemoryDealers envelope ever been documented or seen on this forum before?
2. What would be a fair and realistic valuation (in BTC) for this piece in the current memorabilia market?

Thank you in advance for your time and expert evaluations!

Answers real quick...

1. Not that I am aware of and I would think others may have commented sooner if they had.

2. No idea - like your other item, consider auction.  Wink

Which can be translated to:

Haha, my bad! 😂

But man, you're right—the matrix is real. "2-17-11" perfectly matches "Feb 17, 2011" in US date format. That is an insane coincidence! Maybe it's a cosmic sign that the envelope really is from 2011.

Anyway, appreciate you pointing that out and keeping the thread fun.I'll let this thread sit for a bit more to see if anyone else has a clue on the market value.
