THE BRIGHT IDEA BOX - $81.81, shipping included in USA.
Alright, we named this in jest. Thanks to those who purchased the dumbass box last year. We are introducing a new backstamp, which will be the last of the 5. We call these DFX Testers. Before any design is produced, we stamp up some ideas that are sometimes amazing, sometimes terrible, and sometimes in between. I have slowly swooped enough from Thomas without him or Michael knowing for these boxes to be ready, 92 to be exact. Sometimes these discs are molds that weren't used in the actual runs (again, these were test runs). Sometimes they were combos that eventually DID make the cut. No matter the case, they have been given the almighty light bulb backstamp, signifying DFX Tester.
These boxes will feature PRIMARILY MVP/Axiom discs, but some discs may be Streamline. There are 130 boxes in total. These boxes are pre-sealed and we cannot accept requests on colors or molds. These 130 boxes include:
3 DFX stamped misprints, featuring a new EGGs out stamp that lets most of the design shine through.
1 DFX LTD double stamp, stamped at MVP HQ
1 disc that is first quality in 95% of boxes, see below for details
Within the 130 boxes, each will have ONE disc that is first quality. Primarily, these will feature discs that are what we call "Testers", which are essentially test prints. These are discs that were used to come up with foil combinations for the production runs. These tester runs were sometimes used for the production run, and other times they were complete one-offs. Some foil combos are simply not meant to be in a full production run. 92 of the boxes will have one of these testers. Each tester is bottom stamped to denote its status. No additional testers of these designs will be released. If you receive one of the 38 boxes that do not have a DFX tester, we think you'll be pretty stoked with the fifth disc.
Of the 38 other boxes that do NOT contain a DFX tester, you can expect to find the following:
14 misprints that look much like a Golden Goose
12 Artist Variants
12 Golden Geese
Again, these boxes are sealed and will remain sealed until they arrive in your hands.
These boxes are already numbered 1-130. If you want a box number 1-90, you can fight others to race to that box to purchase. If you want to avoid the fight, I suggest picking an unpopular number OR pick the 91-130 option. If you select 91-130, we will randomly select one for you within that range.
While we worked pretty hard to mix these up, I might suggest you buy numbers that are far apart from each other if you want to avoid doubles of the same misprints. This is only if you're wanting multiple boxes. We worked pretty hard to avoid putting the same design in a box twice.... and while we tried hard to avoid duplicating molds, it's possible you could get 2 of one mold.
note: this is the first time that we've dropped true misprints since we started stamping in-house. We did a few bar stamp ones, but these are your first chance at snagging the only time that we have proof of thomas making a "mistake" in his life.
Update: boxes sold out too fast. Don and crew created another 40 boxes.
