The Zenith State of the art insert stands out in the modern landscape of cards.

Modern design is all about simplicity and how “clean” a card can be. But sometimes it’s ok to have a little more going on in the design.

Love it.

Hello All

As promised, a follow up from my previous - Not your usual 'Rookies' post. Here we have some 'Origins' cards from the 1992 Impel Marvel Set #161 #165 #167 #168. Where a character starts their journey. Something created from nothing. A mark of something new.

First Cards, Debuts, First off the line, True Rookies and am sure there are plenty of 'origins' for many stories that are personally and individually collectable.

A tenuous segue perhaps but the spark nonetheless. The question 'Origins' raised was! Would a 'GENUINE FIRST' (is the name I was thinking) autograph. If it doesn't already happen, be a good addition to chases? The 'very first' card you sign in each of the specific products you sign for, is the GENUINE FIRST 1/1 - inscriptions of course (to add to it's individuality) - This could happen each year for each product (Company Exclusive) for the selected names signing in the products.

Origins of ideas. Has something sparked your ideas recently?

Cheers Alan - Keep creating

Vintage automotive design / styling concept sketch. Date and signature are heavily faded but it appears to be signed NOTTRODT and dated 1968. Acquired from Germany. This is hand drawn art - not a print or copy. Incredible piece!

Hello all.

Sharing this Matt Buzelis SWISH card with you. Reason being am liking the design of these. Some may think not high end or valuable, but that ok. "Value" has multiple definitions across the hobby. Could be potential value here for me, but that would be just luck on my part in just liking the card. I may hunt some numbered variations of this card. What do you think of this design? Also what inserts, past or present are you liking the design of at the moment?

Cheers

Great vintage photograph showing a barn find Delahaye 135 car at a swapmeet. Appears to be dated 1998 on back.
