I've not been shy in telling you folks that I'm a big fan of these independently produced sets. These sets are usually the brainchild of one or two of the artists and it seems like they then get their friends into the project as well. As such these tend to be labors of love and the artwork is normally far superior to that found in regular sets. I came home from work and found this quite large box sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for me. Once I saw who it was from I was kind of surprised how large the box was as I had only ordered 10 sets. Well once I busted the box I found out why the box was so large. Inside the box were these beautiful oversized packs. The packs are approximately 6" x 9" and each pack has a nice illustration on the front and the back has a small write-up about the charity. Each pack is sealed is a stunning illustrated label. Now the fun doesn't stop here as inside the pack is cardboard folder which is also illustrated front and back and on the inside contains another illustration along with a detailed write-up about the charity. The actual cards along with the sketches are inserted into a team bag which is attached to the folder.

The 15 card base set is very colorful and Trev Murphy has the honor of being card number 1 and his baby orangutan in the beach print shirt is a blast. I missed these last year, but was lucky enough to catch them this time around. Hope you enjoy the scans.


Jim Ferguson, Diane Wickes, Francios Chartier
Francios Chartier, Neil Makohon, Walter D. Rice Jr.
Johnny Segurra, Emily Riggsby, Walter D. Rice Jr.



Steve Lydic, Neil Makohan, Jesse Hughes
Fraim Bros., Randy Kintz, Vince Sunico
Jesse Hughes


?, Jim Ferguson, Ashliegh Popplewell
Scott Ethan Glenn, Jesse Hughes, Elias Chong
Jason Shoemaker, Dianne Wickes


CD Redemption Cards


4 x 6 Vanessa Farano and Anthony Hochrein

The top Francios Chartier is super thick and the cut contains colored sand. The first Neil Makohan contains what appears to be a vintage coin, such as you might find if you were beachcombing. Not sure how the Star Wars card got into this set, but whoever the artist was they signed the card in gold pen.

I think the 'colored sand' is actually silver. . .

And you pulled at least one autograph, perhaps two. . .

You really killed it out of 10 packs.

My two packs completed their journey across the Atlantic this morning and I have to say I am very pleased with the contents. I pulled a total of five sketches including one of the special 4" x 6" pieces. Hanie Mohd is one of my favourite artists, so very happy to find one of her cards and the Crane by Tim Proctor is gorgeous Smile

Hanie Mohd, Stephan 'Dangerskillz' Lynch
Tim Proctor, Jason Roussel
4" x 6" by Johnny Segura



If anyone has one of Hanie's 4" x 6" sketches that they'd like to trade, please let me know.

I do have a Hanie 4 x 6 left that I pulled. It's posted on NSCF if you are on there, or it's the Mermaid card posted on the Island Dreams' site. Drop me an email if you're interested.

Nice pulls!

Hi,

My name is Juan Rosales, and I'm the person who drew the relic card that you pulled. I'm pretty much just a lurker on this site and I clicked on this thread, and I was surprised (and excited) to see that someone pulled my card.

Anyway, I hope the card came out okay. Those relics were a challenge to create!

Thank you so much, and I'm glad you like the card.

It was a lot of fun to do, but at the time I wasn't really familiar with using color. I did some Jimmy Buffett signature cards for the set too, but those were done in black and white, so the relic card was a bit out of my comfort zone.
