Cerebus Trading Cards (no, not the checklist.)

Hi, Everybody!

IN THREE (3) DAYS, the LEGENDS OF INDIE COMICS: WORDS ONLY Kickstarter, featuring a new Cerebus story by Dave, ends. Back now, or forever wonder what the story is (unless I run it here. I might, it's possible.) latest update from the campaign:
DYNAMO JOE IN THE STRETCH! Comics' favorite giant mecha battlesuit will return in a brand-new prose fiction story by his creator, Doug Rice...when the LEGENDS OF INDIE COMICS: WORDS ONLY Kickstarter project hits its first stretch goal (at $6,000)! This thrilling new adventure will also feature Joe's humanoid/feline mechanic, the wild and woolly Pomru Purrwakkawakka! Let's make this a reality, because there has never been a better time for Dynamo Joe to burst back onto the scene! Whether you're a longtime fan or just now discovering Joe, you're going to LOVE this action-packed tale! Go here to help make it happen: http://kck.st/3Y11ZHu

And remember, there is less than a week to back this project, pump up this book with super stretch goals, and score a copy to hold in your hot little hands!
and the previous update:

BIG NEWS, EVERYONE! Thanks to a price drop, you can get the SECRETS OF INDIE COMICS ALL-STAR COURSE for just $150! What a great way to support the LEGENDS OF INDIE COMICS: WORDS ONLY campaign...and learn from a team of superstar creators in the bargain!

In this incredible course, you will learn the secrets of publishing indie comics from Mike Baron (The Badger), Donna Barr (The Desert Peach), Bob Burden (Flaming Carrot), Michael T.

Over on the Cerebus Facebook group, Richard Evans asked:
Hi Gang! Is anyone interested in selling or trading some Cerebus cards? See below for swap and want list and let me know!

I said I'd look in the box of Waverly Press stuff (that my wife has been asking when I was gonna move out of the kitchenette area of the apartment for the past few months...)

So, I have this:

Specifically, I  have:
1-25, 27-33, 56, 61, 71(x8), 87(x3), 88(x3), 176-191, 201-216, 232(x8)
10-21, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30
11,
215 a lot
 A whole assload of these. It's my card, and they sent me a couple hundred of them (I think...)
7 sets of the Vark Wars cards Hobbs produced for his Kickstarters
I'll sign the cards I was involved in the creation of. Legally, I had nothing to do with Baby Yoda Cerebus...that's my story and I'm sticking to it... 
72-81
These probably are supposed to go with the copy of Form & Void that Travis owes me for, but as it's been a few years, I'm thinking he doesn't get to whine if I get rid of them...  
73-81
301 (a bunch, all signed by Dave.)
So, Rich gets first "dibs", but after he looks through the stack, anybody else who needs cards can make a claim. I'm missing:
89, 93, 217-223, 233,
And I'm pretty sure 235 is the last card if you don't count the Jeff Seiler #301 card as part of the set.

I'm selling the #215 card for:
$5 signed
$10 unsigned
$15 Signed and Sketched (it's a visual if you haven't seen one.)

I also have a bunch of the sketch cards (there's three or four different versions) I'll sell 'em sketched for $20 (I usually color them and make 'em look all nice (with the same three gags. (Why mess with perfection?)) But if you want them blank, I can do that too.

And if anybody needs any of the Waverly Press miscellany (stickers, postcards, buttons, pins, etc.) my wife will let you have it for postage. (I ask for a couple of bucks for the trouble...) I've offered the contents a few times, but have never made a list. MAYBE I'll do a "What's in the Box!?!" video showing all the crap...NEAT STUFF I need to clear out before the wife gets crazy and throws it all away (she's like a 50s mother. "That trash is rotting your brain!". Seriously.)

Anyway, interested parties, the email is still momentofcerebus@gmail.com
