To The Moon Issue CGC (9.8)

To The Moon. Spring 2022. The phrase had already been in the culture for years before this issue, but Bitcoin Magazine put it on the cover at a moment when the market was doing the opposite. That tension is part of what the issue documents: not just the price, but the conviction that held through it. This copy is graded CGC 9.8. Near perfect. The highest grade awarded to this issue. Population of six: only six copies in existence have achieved this grade. The graded Bitcoin Magazine back catalog is a collecting category that is still being discovered. The people who understood comics, baseball cards, and first editions before everyone else are the same people looking at this now.

Curatorial Commentary

Bitcoin Magazine is the longest-running publication in the Bitcoin space, founded in 2012 by Mihai Alisie and Vitalik Buterin. The Spring 2022 To The Moon Issue was published at the start of the drawdown that followed the November 2021 all-time high. The cover's optimism was not naive. It was a position held in the face of the market, which is what distinguishes Bitcoin Magazine's editorial record from most financial media. CGC graded 9.8, the highest grade awarded to any copy of this issue. Population of six: only six copies have achieved this grade. 9.8 is near perfect by CGC standards, typically indicating extremely minor handling imperfections invisible to the naked eye. The graded Bitcoin Magazine back catalog sits at the intersection of numismatic collecting, ephemera collecting, and Bitcoin cultural history. None of those collecting categories has fully claimed it yet, which is exactly the position that produces outsized returns for early collectors. BMAG offers these as what they are: primary source documents from the formative decade of the hardest money ever created.
