Fun news from Nine Pockets Headquarters:
The 2022 custom cards have arrived!
I
finished the year with a total of 15 unique custom cards on the official Nine Pockets checklist, which is a solid number for me. And that doesn't include the special sets: There was the 8-card rock band set, the 6-card Blazing Saddles set, and the Mets broadcasting team card, which had three related short prints. That brings the total to 33, which is a new high.
Here's a closer look at a card front and a card back:
To keep the brand going, I used the same template that was used for the
card backs from previous years, changing just the ink color to distinguish this year from
the others. (2019 dark gray, 2020 indigo blue, 2021 maroon, 2022 dark green.)
The special card sets received custom card backs that more closely resemble the style of the original set, like this example.
Those are always fun to do.
The 2022 cards are available for sale in my eBay store,
but just as always, I'd like to
get some of them into the hands of you fellow collectors, free of
charge. So let's do a giveaway for the first 10 commenters.
Here's what to do:
(1) Go to my custom card gallery
and find two cards you'd like from the 2022 list. The only unavailable cards are the Adam Richmans and the Mets Booth short prints (orange, green, mint).
(2)
Come back here and leave a comment that includes your two card
choices, plus one consolation choice just in case every single commenter
wants the same two cards and I start running out of stock.
(3)
If you haven't sent me your mailing address during a previous giveaway,
or if your address has changed recently, please email me with that
information. A link to my email address appears on my blogger profile page. You can also contact me on TCDB.
And that's all you have to do.
Thanks
so much to all you readers, fellow collectors, and fellow bloggers for
spending some time here at Nine Pockets. You guys continue to provide
great inspiration and entertainment, and I look forward to getting these
custom cards out to you.
Wow! I would love to have the Absence Leaders and Mets Booth cards. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, David. Should be able to send out those two cards within the next couple of weeks. Thanks for reading.
DeleteI'd love the two Seinfeld cards (Kramer and Seinfeld)! Love your work, great stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, NG! Setting those two cards aside for you.
DeleteAs always, these are fantastic. I'll select Eddie Van Halen in action and Seinfeld manager. Consolation: Absence leaders. Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Night Owl! Good choices, for sure.
DeleteI'd also love the Kramer and Seinfeld, with Spinal Tap as a backup. Your eBay store inventory is a lot of fun to browse. Awesome stuff all around!
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice compliment, Gavin. Thank you! Be sure to check your mailbox in a few weeks.
DeleteDavid Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen (IA). Awesome cards, thank you!
ReplyDeleteMight as well jump, Crocodile. Going to set those two cards aside for you now. Thanks for following the blog!
DeleteAwesome as usual! You may run out of Seinfeld cards! Seinfeld and Kramer for me, with The Rock Ridge Stars (with Wilder) as the back up. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Jafronius! I've got enough of the Seinfeld and Kramer cards, so I'll get those two out to you within a couple of weeks.
DeleteI would like the Kel Micthell and the Best Burger Buds if possible. Great movie! I got a Mr. Bean '64 Giant from you some time ago. Any Bean card would be a great back-up. Great work and thanks for the Father's Day giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks RJ! Those two cards aren't part of the 2022 series, but I have no problem sending them to you anyhow. Setting them aside now ;-)
DeleteI'd love the Mets booth card if possible! That would be the only one I have interest in. It'd also work if you held it and sent it along with my card as well.
ReplyDeleteConsider it yours, TK! I'll make sure to add it to your package.
DeleteI have a friend that would love the all the rock cards, but I'll pick KISS and David Lee Roth please! Van Halen as backup?
ReplyDeleteGood choices, Derek! Thanks for reading.
DeleteI got the cards, thanks! They look even better in hand!
DeleteExcellent! Glad to hear that, Derek.
DeleteHey Gregory :).I would like the Van Halen Team Members card and the Deion Sanders Highlight card for my 2 regular choices,and the Nancy Wilson card as my backup choice.Thanks :).
ReplyDeleteHi garyoh! Thanks very much for stopping by and claiming a couple of cards. I don't think I have your mailing address, so please do send one along.
DeleteThat Seinfeld card is fantastic! Side note... I saw your Beastie Boys card pop up in a FB post a few days ago on my personal account (that isn't related to cards). I thought that was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Fuji. Pretty cool that the Beastie Boys card popped up on FB. Thanks for filling me in! If you'd like a copy of that Seinfeld card, consider it yours.
DeleteI'm a little late for the giveaway, but still wanted to say that it was cool of you to do another one of these.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that, Jon! Even though you're late for the giveaway, please feel free to choose a couple of cards. I'd be happy to send them out to you.
