Auction Title Crypto Stamp Milo Manara for Poste Italiane - Lithograph "Caravaggio" (Torino Comics 2026) - N. 73/1000 (Top 100) - Rare hand-signed & FDC special postmark presentation 01/06, Crypto Folder Lot Description An extremely rare, top-tier lot for elite collectors, merging historical philately, comic art, and Web3 digital innovation. Up for auction is the prestigious "Litografia d’Autore" (Artist's Lithograph) folder by Milo Manara dedicated to Caravaggio, officially issued by Poste Italiane for the 30th edition of Torino Comics 2026 at the Certosa Reale di Collegno. This lot represents an absolute milestone: it is the FIRST ever NFT in Poste Italiane's "Litografie d'Autore" series, chronologically following the highly sought-after Priority Mail philatelic collections. It is, to all intents and purposes, Milo Manara's first NFT. RARITY UPON RARITY: LESS THAN 5 SPECIMENS IN THE WORLD OUT OF 1000 This specific lot is not a standard folder, but a unique investment piece personally customized during the key days of the event, as proven by the postmark dates shown in the photos, which certify the "genesis" and birth of the item: • Elite Edition (Top 100): This lot is the exclusive number 73 out of 1000 specimens worldwide. An exceptionally low number, among the very first printed, highly coveted by collectors. • Less than 20 Hand-Signed Specimens: On the day of the official presentation, the comic master Milo Manara hand-signed a total of fewer than 20 lithographs. • Absolute Rarity (Fewer than 5 specimens in existence): This lot radically stands out from all the others. While only 20 pieces were signed, fewer than 5 in the entire 1000-piece print run combine the artist's signature with the FDC special postmark of 01/06/2026. An item of unprecedented philatelic and collectible scarcity. CHRONOLOGY OF THE SPECIAL POSTMARKS (as shown in photos) 1. Postmark of 30/05/2026: Present by default inside the envelope, corresponding to the very first day the item was officially put on sale at the Poste Italiane booth. 2. Postmark of 01/06/2026 (Presentation Day): Stamped on the lithograph inside the NFT envelope (inside the case) and on the outer cardboard sleeve, historically certifying the physical presence of the piece in front of the Master at the exact moment of the launch. • Extra Rare Content: Inside the case, 2 extra Caravaggio stamps from 2010 (extremely hard to find today) have been added. They were specifically included to receive and accommodate this additional and crucial special postmark of June 1st, both on the NFT envelope and on the outer cardboard sleeve.
