2012 BYOAC Token design thread
stan2323:
Now I am going to chime in. I would like some 2011 and 2012 token. I do not care who makes them if Santoro had made either of them I would have purchased them. In fact I have stated that I am in for 200 2011 any time. I am also in for 200 2012 any time. I am in for 200 of a year less design any time. I was very disappointed :( when Santoro was not able to do it. I understand things come up and family matters have priority. When Q-bert said he was going to do it I was very happy :applaud: and sorry to say this Santoro glad that another person was going to be doing this and maybe get it done instead of stringing things along for a year and then just getting them done in the first few months of the following year. Well now that someone got their feelings hurt it looks like it will not happen again this year. What a disappointment. Somebody that can do this man up and do it or just come out and say no more. I think it is quite low of Santoro to have a problem with it now that someone who may do this better than he can seems to want to do it. That said I am still in for 200 2011, 200 2012, and or 200 year less whoever makes them, Santoro, Q-bert or someone eles.

Santoro:
Look, from my view, I have been doing this for eight years and a courtesy PM to get my blessing was in order. I didn't respond to the the offer of help in the thread because I wasn't ready to relinquish control. I don't think silence should reasonably be construed as acceptance.
Yet I didn't complain when he first took over. A bunch of BYOAC folks I am friends on the side thought I should say something but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and let it proceed without a word. If you think that is 'quite low.' there is nothing I am gonna say that will change your mind.
The 2010 thing was over the line though and it really ticked me off - here you see the result. I am over it and I really don't want this thread to turn into the Great Token War of '12. Let's move on.
I am not able to manage the 2011/12 token threads this year. QBert has taken on the task, and I hope we get some great new ones.
edit: clarified the last sentence.

The BYOAC token designs were sort of a public thing, and if the original artists were willing to do business with you after this I suppose you could get new dies made at your own cost. Go for it, lets see who buys from you.

Just so I'm tracking and not to draw this out but even if the artist that designed the token authorizes a re-mint you will not contact the die holder and authorize Q-Bert use of those dies even though you are unable to make tokens this year?
If that is the case I will donate $200 towards die creation providing that the original artist authorizes the use of his original art.
Santoro:
OK Let me clarify (and I will edit the post above too for clarity..)
I am not making new token DESIGNS this year.
I AM making new remints of my more popular past tokens in the next few months - MAME /2010 minimally. Those require very little work.
AlienInferno:
I just want to say that I like Santoro and am more then willing to buy more tokens from him both now and in the future. Especially the 2010 tokens. But at the same time am really wanting a 2012 token. So whoever makes it first get's my money.
