So... Does this mean physical stamp buyers need to do anything to ensure it's not redeemed/whatever? I guess I'm more confused now..... How do you know the eth addy unless you bought via OCS? Is there any way to tell if a physical has been redeemed other than scratching? My point is - could someone sell a physical stamp as "unredeemed", when in fact it is not? Thanks....

Well, the OCS stamps have the Token ID 149.500 - 149.999, the ones with paper wallet have the Token ID 0 - 149.499.
Once you know the Token ID, it helps a lot.
If it is between 0 - 149.499 and the scratch layers are intact, you are sure the digital asset still is attached.
How to find out what Token ID you have...
Scan the QR code or enter the "Code [1]" at
https://crypto.post.at/asset When you see:
TRANSFERIEREN SIE IHRE CRYPTO STAMP:
Diese Crypto stamp wurde mit einem
Paper-Wallet gekauft.
Then know it is one of the 149.500 with a paper wallet, if it is unscratched, you're fine!
When you're on that page, Right-click (or tap with with 2 fingers (mac)) on any page element and select
Inspect Element.
Then search for "Elements", "Console", "Sources",...
Choose "Console" and you will you will find between the text:
Edition: 1 Asset: ... (between brackets is the Token ID!)
Now you have the Token ID!
If you have an OCS stamp, you can place the Token ID instead of the "
0"

>>> Edition: 1 Asset: 39YLhW (74097)
