Maybe Next Year :( 2011 BYOAC Tokens - FRONT Side design thread

Pages: << < (14/28) > >>

80sMike:

I think after nearly 10 years doing this, Dave has a pretty good handle on the make-or-break to get this done.  There are a few of us who have been collecting these from the beginning, and like Chad said will buy regardless of the design, if for no other reason than to have a complete collection.  Heck, I've been away from this scene for four years (starting to ramp up again), but still pop in once a year to see the new token design and buy some when they're ready.  I do agree that there are plenty of excellent designs from previous years that should by default be entered in the running.  Not having a large number of new designs isn't necessarily an indication of a lack of interest...  :cheers:

people won't commit to a purchase without a design being selected.

Sorry, but even without a decision being made on a design, people chimed in above for a total of ~4-5k.

However, if I read that as you won't commit to a purchase without a design being selected, I'll respect your decision to wait.

However, if I read that as "bleargh don't care understanding my posts", it makes more sense.


There is no point to commiting to a certain number, if the maker of said tokens is no longer interested in producing them.

I can do like others and say fictivious numbers of what I would buy. Let say, a whole thousand. Or twelve, why not. No matter, being that nobody will ever produce the 2011 tokens.

The main problem here isn't interest in purchasing tokens, but in interest making them.

You know, the same person taking charge of thise yearly isn't a small task, its OK that he found something else on which spending his time.

I just wanted to chime in.

I love the guy climbing out of the machine. That design is awesome. I want a couple hundred of them. :(

Zlaticko:

Work in progress.

Yearly does seem like a lot of trouble. How about making a BYOAC token with no date? From what I have found it's a one time charge per side for a custom design. Run a first batch of tokens (minimum 5,000). And if there is enough interest a year or more later, it wouldn't cost as much for the next batch of the same design.
