Scarce City is leveling up. 🕹️
We're building a new launchpad that turns collecting into a game you can actually win.
Creators: if you’ve been waiting for a fresh way to launch your next collection, this is for you. Get in our DMs for an exclusive early look!
The first fifty hardcovers are going to be a different, because they technically aren't retail books at all.
They're the author proofs Amazon sends me so I can inspect the physical book before release, complete with the NOT FOR RESALE band.
You can't order one. A bookstore can't order one. Amazon won't sell you one. The only person who can request them is me... and I'm sending the first fifty somewhere else before I keep one for myself.
Every copy gets signed and numbered to the @scarcedotcity leaderboard.
#1 gets book #1.
#12 gets #12.
#50 gets #50.
So the number isn't decorative scarcity I made up... it's a receipt from the auction. Ten years from now, if somebody is holding #7, you know exactly how that copy entered the world and where its owner stood when the hardcover first existed.
And then, because apparently simply making fifty impossible-to-retail author proofs wasn't enough, every one comes with the squeaky duck. The leaderboard starts getting increasingly unreasonable after that...
PEPECREATURE at 25, physical metal coins at 10, and the Pond Guy cuffs at #1.
But the part I keep coming back to is mad simple: I spent a year making the definitive version of this book, and fifty collectors are gonna own it before I do.
That's Bitcoin

still testing capabilities
the second video I got the matador to move with the holographic patterns
so fun.
can u spot the differences in the two tests on the first video
Well... I finished it.
And before the Scarce auction next week, I should probably clear something up.
The Creature From Jekyll Island: Pepe Edition HARDCOVER is not the same book.
I didn't put a hard cover around the paperback and call it deluxe. I went back in. I wrote another 259 pages into it.
More history. More lore. More Crownes. More Beast. McAfee. Samourai. COLDCARD. Quantum. John Villar.
25 new pieces of art. More augmented reality.
This is the book I was trying to make the first time.
@scarcedotcity... Sept 8–10
And before anybody has to decide whether they want one, I'm going to read the whole thing to you.
I finally finished the Hardcover "Deluxe Version" of my book. It will be in the upcoming @scarcedotcity auction.
Auction will have physicals from @ScrillaVentura, @PepenardoStudio, and @MichaelNaples
More info soon, but this is the BEST version of the book
Added 250 pages of story/history/lore, better cover and about 25 more really good pictures that help tell the story
Great feeling

first test of a medium rarity card
shit’s about to get wickedly wild
i’ll share a little about my very own Collectable Trading Cards Project dropping very very soon.
a series of 750 original art mostly drawn at the same scale as any professional card ( 2.5” x 3.5”) and produce at the same quality as professional, trading cards, etc etc.
with my background in graphic design and being a wizard at photoshop I have the ability to do way sicker things than what Pokemon cards can do atm
a new series drops every three months with brand new art. no ai.
there will be packs, trainer boxes, booster boxes, special collectors, boxes, and more.
first series is limited. Only 10,000 cards at 1000 packs.
there will be art from my Fake Rares sprinkled out through all the series. @FAKERARES_XCP
same with my @FakeCommons, which I will be adding 81 new pieces to and dropping stat.!!
they will be two different collections form the 81 pieces.
both being in their own standalone series.
to all my #RAREFAKERS collectors, congrats!! 💎
you already own or will get your originals mailed out when the project drops.
and congrats to those who attended this years’ BitcoinConference in Las Vegas that found me and got a free limited edition *BTCLV26 originals.
and congrats to those that didn’t make it out to Vegas who simply DMed me to ask for one like I said I would. Yers’ will be mailed out when project droop.
