I was poking around the site today. It was great seeing those Dark Horse party invitations which I hadn't seen before and I didn't know about the TPF-8 variant (The Pin-Up Factory promo set).

What are the differences between the two? I looked at the website but I don't see the distinction

The text at the bottom of the front. It is described on the page.

I was checking the site again a few hours ago, looking at the Creator's Universe cards. Todd has images of that 3-card strip. It looked somewhat familiar. I think I saw it in the 90's but forgot what it looked like by the time I started looking for it recently. Great to see it.

I used to go nuts looking for those CREATORS UNIVERSE promos. I never did find them all. I literally had dreams about opening CU packs. Looking at my binders, I moan over the holy grail cards I've had to sell in the last few years. I don't even want to think about it!

Nice!

Most of those Creator's Universe promo singles are cheaper/easier to find though I've noticed the Stronghold one seems to be harder to find these days. Some of them have error variants with reversed (upside-down) backs but not everyone goes after all of those.

I saw that you have most of the Avatar Projects promos shown. I have one of the signed/numbered "Hardbodies" cards (67/80 - just two numbers off from the one you show). I thought it might've been a show exclusive in my area as the company was based in Santa Clara. I don't have any of the other signed/numbered cards/panels.

I once met a company representative who was selling leftover stuff at a local show. He had sold some already so I got just a couple of promo singles and an oddball uncut 2-card promo panel (Tanda Girls Intro #2 and a Campaign '94 card) will send you images and post here). I think he had some regular sets left but I didn't buy any.

I've picked up just a few of those 3-card uncut panels (one Satisfaction, three Erector Set) over the years.

please do send whatever ones show on PCE as image needed.

I wrote to the guy back in the 90s and he sent me one of everything he did, which included the signed cards, but he didn't say anything about them. Just that he gave all his stuff out at shows and wherever he was doing something with the cards. He also sent me some legal letter telling me I will be sued if I blah...blah....blah....

I was looking at your Willie Mosconi Card Collection listing. Over the years, I have seen several #2 and #5 cards and just one #3 but no #1 nor #4. I guess it's a question for the "Do They Exist?" thread. Does anyone have one or both of those or has anyone seen either? I have a feeling they exist. I found that #3 about 10 years ago - think it was on Ebay.

I was looking at the Felix (the artist) entries. There's an uncut acetate version of that Felix II uncut 9-card sheet numbered out of 1000 and it doesn't have the backs either and that was for sale. There's also a white plastic card version but I don't know if it's blank or if it has the regular or promo backs. I would assume the sheet you're showing is something that was/is for sale. The different numbering out of 300 tells me that it might have been a show exclusive but I don't know that for sure. I've seen two of his cards hand-numbered and that's what I assumed about those. I can ask him about that.

Gday Todd, awesome job with the website mate...

I just emailed you some Tempo Promo card images of the ones you were looking for, plus an image of the unmentioned Trent Panteli (Project Manager) promo.

Let me know if they are suitable?
Cheers mate

Jess, I think on Willie Mosconi that I have a set of 5 promos that Bill DeFranzo gave me 25 years ago. I will check

If so, you should scan those and send them to Todd.

Bill has been gone 10 years already. He would've gotten a kick out of Todd's site.
