This past week we opened some fun packs from existing properties and original, trading card only creations. Quite a fun week with some great examples of the odd ingenuity and inventiveness that went into some of these original trading card properties.
We got movie photo cards from a pair of classics, Gremlins 2 and Little Shop of Horrors, and while Gremlins 2 are pretty standard movie promo cards Little Shop of Horrors adds some comic book stye flair to their designs along with original cartoons on some of the card backs.
You Slay Me! has original horror themed one-panel comic gags on the front with horror movie trivia on the back while Grossville High is an original cast of disturbingly sickening characters that populate the fictional high school, both students and faculty. Then we had Nasty Tricks - a mix of stickers and perforated cards that you can tear apart and hand out to people featuring fake coupons, certificates, and similar parody items. Very fun!
Last week we also did a longer, more relaxed look back at a pack from June including Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Equestrian Collect-a-Card, Battle Cards (My new obsession/fascination), and more: https://youtu.be/JHzgaAFvmRg
