I finally got the chance to see a full set of the 2017 edition of Steem Trade Cards and it's exciting!

Since I'm also a big fan of supporting the internal Steem economy I am putting up a set of these cards for auction using Steembay (@steembay)

The Winning Bid Will Get a 100% Upvote From Me!

Take a Look at The Cards And Then See The Details of the Auction!

I'm really happy with the quality of the cards and with the nifty custom envelope that they are sent in!

Details of The SteemBay Auction!

I'd really like to see @steembay continue to grow and improve as it can add a lot of value to the Steem blockchain! If you haven't tried it yet please consider bidding on a full set of ten 2017 Steem Trade Cards.

Your bid is for: Ten 2017 Steem Trade Cards with photos and details of some of your favorite Steem personalities. The winning bidder will have the cards mailed to them anywhere world wide in one of our custom designed envelopes. 

The cards measure 10.5 cm x 7.5 cm (approximately 4"x 3") and are printed on card stock with a glossy finish.

For a full revue by a happy recipient please see the post by @papa-pepper here:

@papa-pepper is thrilled with the new bigger and shinier cards!

Here's How The Bidding Works (courtesy of @denmarkguy)

The opening bid will be 7.0 SBD

Reply (directly) to this post with "bid x" (where x is the amount you are willing to bid in SBD).  

Decimals have to be written with a period instead of a comma (5.9, NOT 5,9). Wait for the bot to log in the bid (it will tell you in seconds if it worked... sometimes it takes up to a minute due to transaction failures of the system)

 If someone bids higher than you, the bot will reply to your post and reference your username. 

The bot will reply to each accepted bid, stating what is actual  highest bid and who is the high bidder. The bot will also reply when you  are overbid, and state the new high bidder. 

If you need to retract your bid just enter "revoke bid" 

"Normal" (non-auction) comments will not interfere with the auction, and will not  make you a bidder! 

Upvotes are welcome and accepted with gratitude as  any rewards from this post will help cover the cost of this project. Please keep in mind that Steemtradecards is a make work project. We pay 10 Steem to the writer of each card, 15 Steem to the graphic artist for each card and we also pay to print and send a set of 10 cards to each recipient!

Shipping is FREE World Wide!

The cards are shipped form Ticino, Switzerland

After the Auction:

Payment for winning bid will be in SBD. I will need the winning bidder's contact/shipping information, which we can either exchange via Encrypted Wallet Memos or through Steemit.chat. 

Once you have sent me a mailing address you can pay via direct wallet transfer and the cards will be mailed to you.

The Winning Bid Will Get a 100% Upvote From Me!
