What size are the Menkos cards, traditional cigarette size or traditional bookmark size or something different?

John:

I am unsure as we do not have them in hand yet (the image above was supplied by SideKick). And I would imagine SideKick is setting up at New York Comic Con right now so I can't really ask them.

If you are still curious, you might ask me either late next week when we have the cards in-hand or early the week after.

Sorry I don't have more info for you, John.

No worries

They'll be no promo preview today or tomorrow. I have two other exciting groups of promos that are being worked on for Philly Show attendees from companies everyone is familiar with but until I feel more comfortable that we will definitely have them in hand, I won't post anything. If I get some advance previews, I will post them next week.

And even beyond that, there are some other surprises as well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend.

Thinking of that Carly Simon song, "Anticipation."

Not an official 'promo' as such as it it not regulation trading card size, but I will have a very limited number of UK CardCast stickers available to anyone who sees me at the show and says "Hello"!

I will most definitely try to locate you at the show and politely say Hello. And then ask you for the "UK CardCast" sticker.

Just in time for the Philly Non-Sports Card Show this weekend (October 22-23), we've got word that Rittenhouse Archives will be handing two further promo cards in addition to the Marvel Universe 2011 I posted previously.

Above are Star Trek Classic Movies Heroes & Villains and The Complete Brady Bunch Trading Cards. The Star Trek promo is numbered P4 and The Complete Brady Bunch promo is numbered P2. They will be given away at the Rittenhouse Archives tables.

Hope to see lots of folks at the show.

Cool Brady Bunch promo!

Over 12 promos at this point, more depending on how you count the sidekick promos.

If anyone who is attending the show would be willing to buy a second admission ticket, in order to pick up a second pack of promo cards, I would be willing to buy/trade/make it worth your while to send me the promos. Please let me know at zoesfriend@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Hi all,

Is there any way for non-attendees to get some of these? As in paying for an admission via a Con goer or something?

Would the card companies be willing to put together non-attendee packs?

I know the purpose is to attend the Convention to get these, but not everyone can do that so...in the spirit of trading cards for the masses <g> any chance of offering a way to get some for the non-attendees?

The manufacturers are usually pretty generous by letting attendees pick up more than one promo, unless it's a real short-print. So, attendees have the extras, and they are TRADING cards. Should be easy to find an attendee since there are over 50 Card Talk members going to the gathering.
