Client stories
What happened after the pages were on the table
They made me sit with the kente border for twenty minutes before anyone mentioned the token id. I left with cover B and a wall text I could actually hang. The dossier arrived four days later than promised, which I still mention when friends ask.
I had a 2023 1-of-1 letter stuck in my head and no patience for marketplace refresh. Bytework Grid found the holder through a gallery contact in Manchester, not through a public bid war. I paid the retainer without drama.
The Foregate Street room is small. That helped. We went page by page through an afrofuturist splash I had only seen as a thumbnail. I did not buy that evening, and nobody tried to reopen the conversation in the doorway.
Insurance asked for something other than a screenshot. The dossier named the cover credit, the shared interiors, and the redeemable print stock. Dry, which is what I needed.
Two longer notes
Cover B, gold-rule, 2024 drop
Amara Osei came with a marketplace tab already open on a Black Panther afrofuturist cover B. We refused to talk token id until the kente border had been compared with two cloth samples in the room. She acquired the variant through a holder in Leeds; we wrote wall text that named warp direction. The dossier was late because the cover credit on the token metadata disagreed with the printed recap page, and we waited for a clarification rather than guessing.
A viewing that ended without a transfer
Nia Adeyemi booked a private viewing of a night-market splash. The lettering on the title plate used a condensed face that fought the stall lamps in the art. She decided against that letter. We kept the fee for the hour. Months later she returned for a dossier on a different issue she had found herself.
