Collect the things your grandmother used to say.
88.years is a sticker album for proverbs. Eighty-eight sayings from each of eighty-eight countries, drawn one at a time, printed on vinyl under a clear epoxy dome, and numbered by hand.
You will get one email asking you to confirm. After that, two kinds only: a design opening, and a country unlocking. Read the privacy policy.
What you are actually collecting
A proverb is a whole argument compressed into six words, and every country has its own. We source each one in the dialect it is genuinely spoken in, check it with native speakers, draw it, and print it small enough to live on a laptop lid.

Your country is not here yet? Suggest it. Once a country collects enough votes it goes into production and the sourcing starts.
Being early is worth something here
This is not a discount code. The list exists because the first people through the door shape what gets made.
The low numbers
Every design is numbered from one and stops at 880. Numbers go out in the order people pay, and the list hears about a design before anyone else does.
A vote on the queue
Countries do not all open at once. List members vote on which sheet opens next, and on which country joins the list at all.
Your own proverb
Send us the saying your family actually uses. If it clears verification and gets drawn, your name goes on the packaging.
A quiet inbox
No weekly newsletter, no launch countdowns, no offers. One email when a design opens and one when a country unlocks.
Nothing gets printed until someone wants it
Four steps, in this order. Eighty-eight claims start a print run, and a design is never printed more than 880 times. Your card is not touched before step three.
A design goes up
Finished artwork, a verified proverb, and no stock behind it. Claiming a spot costs nothing and commits nothing.
Enough people claim it
The running count sits on the product page. At 88 claims the file goes to a printer in Dubai.
You get a window to pay
Everyone who claimed a spot gets an email. Pay inside the window and the sticker is yours.
Numbers go out in payment order
First to pay is number one. Unclaimed spots go on open sale at whatever number comes next, until all 880 are gone.
