wolfieJust looked at the gallery and what a great resource it is so well done on that.
it does not say but are any of the cards no longer available from you as you simply do not have any left?

Don NortonI compared my collection with Ed's Gallery, and I found I am missing quite a few, 8 of them to be exact. I even have a few of the metal cards. Wonder which one is the hardest to find?

JOHN LEVITTFor some years I have regularly accessed Ed's website to keep up to date with his promo cards release date.
I believe some of his early metal cards are a bit tricky to find especially as they were issued in low quantities. Similarly some early card issues had short print runs.
I am missing less than 10.

Time flies.
Many have asked about P81. It had a plan, now cancelled for various reasons.
It has 2 versions P81a and P81b (a more adult, naughty version)
It has been determined that P81 a will be the show promo for 2025. P81b will ONLY go to those that request it. I don't just hand out those cards at a show.
Art is by the much loved George Webber, who we lost in December. I'm honored to still have artwork from him I can share. Great artist and a good human, he will be missed.
So, most of you know the drill for SASE's
Send an envelope with a self addressed post-paid return envelope.
Send any card protection you may want, SASE does not include adding supplies.
Make the return address on your SASE YOUR address, so if it comes back for postage due it goes to you.
You may request P81b if you would like one, it will NOT be included unless specifically requested.
You may request previous promos, up to 3 additional in a standard envelope. I will do my best to accommodate requests. Older they are the harder they are to get to...
Send requests to:
SciFi Cards
P81 Promo Offer
PO Box 10187
Glendale, AZ 85318
International, email me and we'll work out PayPal for Postage and mail in a greeting card.
Offer good for the foreseeable future, subject to availability.
Ed
Just moving offer to the current page.

Scifi CardsOK, time to vent...
I feel my generosity is being taken advantage of.
So far I have received 14 SASE's from the same person, each asking for 4 promos from previous promos. Only one has asked for the 81a and 81b.
Nowhere in the above does it say "send in your request for any promo".
Now, I'll likely EVENTUALLY fulfil all these requests. But it's not happening all at once, or right now. It's tax season and I have a show trip coming up.
So, you know who you are, you'll likely get the easy to find ones in the mail sooner rather than later. But they'll all take awhile, and I'm in no hurry for such things.
When I finally get around to it. I'll probably make a post for Anyone to request any promo available, but now it not that time.
Sigh, victim of my own generosity.
Ed

wolfieSorry to see you are having abuse of this offer Ed, some folks really need to take a look at themselves. As you know i am in need of catching up but i would not do anything until you said it was ok as you have previously stated your position in this matter.

WillAgreed, Wolfie--I hate to see someone trying to abuse another's generosity. I greatly appreciate Ed's offer to provide these cards to those of us who cannot make card shows across the country, so the selfishness of a few people always makes me angry.
Ed, since you mentioned it being tax season--are you a tax preparer in your secret identity life?

No, in real life I'm a procrastinator.
So all those things I should have done as we went through the year, now need to be done before April 15.
3 more "requests" showed up today. Some asking for ones already asked for previously. Sigh...

I hate that, people really do take advantage of a generous offer. Very poor of them. PS did my 12 SAE's arrive OK?
