Giving Thanks

[teesaw]

Wishing everyone a very happy thanksgiving, and for those in Canada, a very happy Thursday

I'm thankful for a ton this year, but Overpower-related, I wanted to give a special thanks to Larry the Orange King.  (I stole the idea of shouting someone out from an earlier post this week).  I was buying some cards to give as a Christmas gift, and I agreed to buy a blind lot of some misfit cards...I wasn't expecting too much, but the package I received had over 100 really great cards that were a huge help to my collection - I was amazed!  There are a ton of posts on this site about another of eBay's overpower dealers who is a constant rip-off, and it's been said many times that Larry is his polar opposite in that regard.  I can attest first hand, based on this particular interaction, that Larry seems to be a great guy and I can vouch to the many positive things that are said of his being an overpower dealer on these boards. 

Also, a big thank you to all of the folks who take the time to provide feedback on my customs.  I've said before that it is a pipe-dream (I think I've even called it a fantasy) to produce a printed set of my custom heroes and to have them accepted for some kind of closed tournament or season of play, and I may have shown some of you the card back that I designed for this make-believe set to be produced some time in the distant future.  In the meantime between now and that distant future, I thought it would be cool to do custom deck protectors using the card back i designed?  I had a local print shop dummy up some vinyl stickers (the idea would be doing vinyl stickers on the back of standard deck protectors, that way the border around the sticker would differentiate between your deck and your opponent's - i.e. if i put my stickers on teal deck protectors, it would be different than the same stickers on your black ones...)

Anyway, I didn't have any deck protector's handy, but I did slap a decal on the back of a 2E black cat power card, just to get a feel for how this might look in game.

For your viewing pleasure:

Would anyone be interested?  I think the magic number is 25 people..If 25 people wanted in on a set (80 sleeves) I think it could be reasonably priced. 


**Also - I still get sketchy about other people's art - as a reminder i do great clip-art meshing and google searching, but I do 0% original art.  This was promo art for avengers vs. x-men...all I did was track down a version that didn't have the words over it, and slap a logo onto it.  http://geek-news.mtv.com/2012/01/09/its-iron-man-vs-magneto-and-psylocke-vs-black-widow-in-these-avx-teasers/**
