Raffle timeline

1986 Rookie Icon Graded Card Raffle

One dated record of the whole raffle, start to finish. Most raffles run three months or less, so every milestone below fits on a single page — compliance approvals, each ticket batch release, the sealed roster hash, the witnessed drawing, and where the money went.

Financial waterfall

No money has moved yet. The waterfall publishes automatically from the immutable ledger once paid orders exist, and is finalized after the drawing is approved.

Full financial report

Every paid ticket is matched to a numbered physical ticket stub. The physical stubs are the entries placed in the drawing container; the digital roster and its SHA-256 hash are a supplementary audit record, not a replacement for stubs.

Prize provenanceDrawing evidence

Scheduled milestones show planned dates and update automatically as each step is recorded.
