I know. I've bid on another 6 or so. I'm not sure if I can really afford to win them all, but once the old master kicks the bucket I'm sure they'll be worth more than 1k a piece, easy.
Not to mention all the indescribably awesome times I've had on some select chemicals  . Beats having some lame ass painting on your wall.
People be like "Whats that picture?" Oh shit. Its 3 different blotter paper prints signed by the inventor of MDMA, you say.

I bid a bit more than I could afford for each print, and then ended up losing on three different ones.
Oh well.  At least I got one print and didn't over extend myself.

Out of the hundreds of chemicals he synthed you picked one that was synthed by somebody else.

I know, I've read shulgin's books. But still, he deserves credit for most of them.

I really wish I had the money to buy one.
Maybe some people think it's cool because it's like, the history of drugs as art. But really, it's much, much more. It's the silent voice of a generation. It speaks about the views, the culture, and the politics of the people. It is art which encompasses viewpoints, thoughts, laws. It is an amazing piece of the history of popular culture. I'm surprised that it hasn't been more advertised or sold for more. They are ALL remarkable pieces.

Hi all,
The current batch of sheets is nearing the end and lots of those sheets are ludicrously cheap. Grab some bargains while you can - you'll never see psychedelic artefacts like this at these prices again!
Who can help me send out the following Bicycle Day Bulletin?
Bicycle Day 2012: The Shulgin Blotter Art Fundraiser
eBay store: http://tinyurl.com/shulginfundraiser
Website: www.theshulgins.com
Today is a particularly special Bicycle Day anniversary, as it celebrates the accomplishments of two great psychedelic scientists: Albert Hofmann, the father of LSD, and Alexander (Sasha) Shulgin, discoverer of the therapeutic properties of MDMA and hundreds of novel psychoactive chemicals.
It was 69 years ago today that Dr. Hofmann embarked upon the world's first intentional LSD trip, and his otherworldly bicycle ride from his laboratory to his house gave name to today's anniversary. LSD first started being distributed on blotter paper around thirty years after Dr. Hofmann's premier journey, and after a short time this gave rise to a specialised art form - decorated sheets of blotter paper. After some time, art lovers and psychonauts began to collect the unsaturated (inactive) artwork, and since then its popularity as an art form has blossomed.
This Bicycle Day marks the launch of the fifth and final round of auctions in the Sasha Shulgin Blotter Art Fundraiser. The remaining 10 of 58 sheets of rare blotter-art, signed by Sasha and Ann Shulgin, Stanislav Grof, Ralph Metzner, James Fadiman and Dennis McKenna, will be auctioned on eBay to raise money for the Shulgins' extensive medical care bills.
In late 2010, Shulgin suffered a stroke. Although he is recovering, Ann and Sasha are struggling against a tide of medical and care bills. Sasha has spent his life doing basic research and giving his work away for free and although large sums of money are being made from the fruits of his labour, Sasha did not make much money. Funds raised from the auction of these limited artefacts of psychedelic history will help an elderly couple that together have transformed psychedelic science in a way that no fundraiser can ever repay.
These sheets, which are signed by some of the most brilliant and influential thinkers in the past 60 years of psychedelic science, have been estimated to have current values in excess of $750. These values are expected to rise substantially in the future. Yet, the sheets have been selling at well under half these values. Please, dig deep and consider bidding on these important items, either as a wise investment or as a kind donation.

Final round is now on sale - your last chance to get a great sheet, and some of these are signed by one of Leary's Harvard Trio...

I am writing to you either because you have a direct link with the Shulgin Blotter Art Fundraiser or because you have a mailing list or circular that reaches large numbers of the psychedelic community.

Only 6 hours left on the final round of this fundraiser for the Shulgins. Now, we're still a fair way under our target of $20,000. These sheets have got to sell for a minimum of $320 each if we're to make that bell ring. Who's going to help us reach that target?
Blessings to you all!

I wish i had funds now. I suppose if someone wants to resell me a sheet for slightly above paid price, id gladly pay it. Wont have the scrilla for at least 5 days. assuming they all sell, which they will
I have a small collection of autographed blotter if someone wants to work out a trade. Have three signed by randal roberts(that one trippy homer simpson portrait) and 5 different alex gray autographed blotter.
