These ones? They are on the way out the doors!

This is another preview card from the upcoming Titanic set:



This one is a little harder to find than the P1 details to follow soon.

To me this kind of set does seem in bad taste.I've never understood sets like these???

I know where your coming from, but I think it very much depends on how the subject is handled. It was a dramatic historical event that millions of people have an active interest in. Its the subject of vast numbers of books, films and TV shows to name a few products. As a card company we specialize in History, Literature and Art so this seems like a natural fit.

That one looks really nice too Jason. I really like the look of these.

I actually don't see anything exploitive about this set. Of course the sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy that cost so many lives, but 100 years later it was not only an historic event that changed shipping regulations, it was a natural disaster. I mean it was not man made in the sense that anyone tried to cause it.

To me that is the difference between this and something about 9/11, or even that card with the Kennedy/Oswald/Car Seat, which I thought was in bad taste.

In some ways, the Titanic is almost a special case. This particular tragedy was first exploited by Steiff who produced a special black 'mourning bear' with a production run of less than 500 specifically for the British market just a few weeks after the actual event. These now fetch 10s of thousands of pounds when they appear at auction.

Yep - those ones

Set information is now up along with some VERY limited pre-orders for this. Titanic Set

The "add to cart" link on the web site for the titanic retail set takes you to the Paypal log in screen not the Cart.

Hi John, this has now been fixed, we had a problem with the button code part of it had been cut off. Thanks for letting me know this has effected a few people, but it should be resolved now. Extra promo cards are in the mail for you!

The cardinal sin of card collecting...
NO RUBBER BANDS!!! (lol)

Order Placed

Jason

Many thanks for the fix and the extra promo cards, order also placed.

regards

John

Still says "early May" for release - is 17th early?

Had a facebook reply from Jason on the 15th May saying 10 to 14 days for the Hobby set and another week after that for the Retail. End of May beginning of June by the sounds of things although, as we know, things can change.

I have no problem with things changing as long as we are informed of the change in a timely manner

I just sent my finished sketch cards back this morning so I will have x25 going into packs.

Latest news on the site says the sets will ship in days not weeks. I imagine I will get mine by mid June!!
