I didn't see a thread about this but right now there's a trading card event going on at Aaron Brothers Art & Framing for the upcoming Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole movie.
Everytime you spend I believe it was $20 or $25 in "Big Top Artist" products at Aaron Brothers you get a free pack of 3 trading cards. There's 8 different cards total to collect. Each card is a character card for an owl. Apparently on Saturday if you take in all 8 cards you get some kind of case. I have no clue what that is though. I couldn't find any information about it.
The promotion is almost over and I got the impression that it hasn't gone over terribly well because the store my wife was at was surprised to have anyone ask about them.
Thanks for posting about these Jake. The cards appear to be really beautiful.
Hope I can snag a set. Closest Aarons to me is about 45 minutes away. Not sure I will make it there before the promotion is over.
Mike.

Does that mean that Wolfies mom.... "Gives a HOOT?" A hoot and a howl to the Wolfie clan. Great owl cards, my late mother always liked Bald Eagles........ (Not bald they got feathers there, maybe she knew I would be a part bald.... less hair but still there.) Ha Ha

I emailed Aarons to see if I could get a set from them. No such luck!
So I did the next best thing and bought a set on Ebay. A lot cheaper than spending $60 at Aarons and still possibly not getting a full set (at least from what Aarons told me).
Be careful if buying a set from an auction site and you want a full set of cards. Some of the auctions are for less than a full set of 8 cards..

Like Mike, I bought these on eBay. It looks like a beautiful set. Thank you Jake for the information!

I received my cards yesterday and, as a surprise bonus, they came with the case. It's basically a very thick toploader with a Legend of the Guardians sticker on the bottom. I'll post a picture shortly.
