Today's promo is actually four cards. We're giving away two different Bench Warmer cards on Saturday and two different Bench Warmer cards on Sunday. The cards will be given away randomly in promo packs, one per show attendee, while supplies last.

It's Topps Friday!! We have two cards from Topps that will be distributed at the Philly Non-Sports Card Show while supplies last:
This Star Wars Jedi Legacy promo, numbered P-5, will be handed away from the Topps table.
Topps will be distributing the very first Mars Attacks: Invasion promo at the show. The art is by Ed Repka. It is unknown at this time where this card will be distributed from.
We hope we'll see lots of collectors come out to the show to pick these promos!!
The following two promos will both be limited and will be inserted in promo packs handed out at the admission desk randomly. Attendees will get one or the other.
The Adventures of Mac and Trouble unnumbered (Rusty Ink, art by Rusty Gilligan)
Portraits of Poe unnumbered (Rocket Ink Studios, art by Bill Pulkovski)

I don't recall reading about series 1 of Cryptids. I searched for it on ebay and google with very little luck. Problem is, above it's spelled wrong. I might try to track down this set. Is it discussed here? How long ago?

I found the manufacturers site. I guess they're just sketch cards with a few autographs. Is that correct? I'd prefer a small base set for my collection of this sort of subject.

We're considering a base set for Series 2, and also a Series 1 base set using the sketch card artwork. We're in the process of upgrading the website with more info on the past sets, as the current site is temporary.
Cryptids was our debut set, with 500 boxes produced in total. Each box had 1 premium pack containing 1 sketch, 1 autograph, and 1 stamp relic card.

Soooo many cool promos: Classic Mythology II, Game of Thrones, True Blood, and that Mars Attacks is out of this world!! (lol, ack, ack!!)
The Cards from Viceroy look good, too. Put me down for another who would like to see a base set with the next Cryptids release.

I corrected the spelled of Cryptids above -- Hey, it's a hard word to spell. LOL
Tattoox....We did a fairly lengthy story and interview about the series and the company who issued them, Viceroy Card Company, on the NSU blog back in September. You can check it out here:
