Everyone has heard about the fantastic Treasure Chest of Art which was available at the Chicagoland Entertainment Collector’s Expo this last weekend. Not everyone can afford to buy them, even though the $395 price tag is not excessive for 50 original pieces of art with the proceeds going to the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. So I came up with a plan where you can get involved for a much smaller price tag.

I have purchased Treasure Chest of Art #24 of 100 and I’m offering the chance to purchase a random sketch from this box. That way you can help the Treasure Chest Foundation in a small way and get a piece of art as well.

So, here’s how it’s going to work. I’ve numbered each sketch in the treasure chest. Card Talk members can request up to 3 different cards on a first come, first reserved basis. You can take 1, 2 or the maximum of 3; whatever works best for you. The price is $10 per sketch, and that includes First Class Mail to anywhere in the world. If there are funds left over after shipping fees, PayPal fees, and the cost of the Treasure Chest, they will be donated to the Treasure Chest Foundation.

The only oddity is that there is one puzzle sketch, and those two sketches must be taken together.

Payment works best by PayPal, but if you would like to make other arrangements please contact me directly. PayPal payments can be sent to scificards@scificards.com. Cards will start shipping next weekend and we’ll continue until all the cards have been taken.

Please post here with the card numbers you would like to reserve so we have a timestamp on your reservation. Do not pay until your name goes on the list, please. After you are on the list, your reservation post may be deleted so we don't clog up the forum too much.

Post or email with any questions.

Jewel,

That wouldn't be fair to everyone else, sorry. I've seen the sketches and it just wouldn't be right to pick for you.

I reserved #2 for you, let me know if another number strikes your fancy.

Unfortunately, 11 was picked 13 minutes before you did, sorry.

Does another number feel lucky?

Remember that you're posting your choice so I have a timestamp on the post. That's the only way I can resolve duplicates.
