Charity Donations: Game of Thrones Coin

We continue to spotlight donations from dealers, members, and staff

Another one of a kind... or rather 1 of 10 in existence donation will be available during the Charity Auction.  This iron coin features the Faceless Man, from A Song of Ice and Fire, and is #4 in this very limited run.  George RR Martin was given #1, and has signed a card included in this package. 

Crafted and donated by Shire Post Mint, this coin was actually sent into the stratosphere via a weather balloon in 2015. The manufacturers call it the “Spaceless Man Coin” when discussing it among themselves. It includes a piece of the balloon and other event artifacts, including a thumb drive with video and stills of the coin's assent into the stratosphere.

Charity Donations: Dragon Egg!

 

 

 

We continue to spotlight donations from dealers, members, and staff.

We get donations from dealers, local merchants, artists and writers, and that's all expected. What's not as common and always a delight is when regular members of the convention, and sometimes staff, decide to make a donation to the charity auction. 

This time we're talking about Robin M Gage, who is donating one of her dragon eggs. We haven't seen it yet, but she sent us this picture to help entice future mothers and fathers of dragons to come to the charity auctions and get their bids in!

Again, I hope you'll come out and support the Worldcon76 in San Jose Charity Auction, the beneficiary of which is the Alzheimer's Association. If you're a fan of fantastic art, unique collectables and just really cool stuff, there's sure to be quite a few items that you'll need to add to your collection.
