I did see those a while back. They are great looking cards, but given what they are, they seem to sell for more than I'd want to pay. I suppose if I collected art, I might think differently. It's like all the ACEO & custom cards that have popped up in recent years. Sure, they are unique, but endless possibilities and levels of quality exist or could exist and that is the part I don't care for. Anyone with a decent amount of talent can make as many up as they want and as long as there is competition of at least 2 bidders, they get what they want for them or sometimes much, much more. I bought a couple Garvey cards before realizing that me and maybe one other person in the world cared enough to spend more than a couple of bucks on any of them. We bid the first 4-5 up to $20-30+ each. Now that other guy can have them all with no competition from me.
