I realize doing so can be laborious and time-consuming, but as someone who got on these boards earlier this year and wrote out this kind of anecdote, you might find it invigorating, as I did. You may not get much feedback, and I did not either, but I think your story WILL garner a lot of attention. Occasionally, when you knock yourself out and elucidate an enchanting story, the resulting silence is deafening with whispers.......

Should you decide not to bother with us, do take the time to write it up for the auction house you decide to work with. Good stories sell cards....... Brian Powell

Seems like Fred is too busy marketing them to share the backstory here. Either that or he's decided that the mystery adds to the aura, kind of like how the Noodle Incident is never explained in Calvin & Hobbes, so our imaginations are left to run wild at the possibilities.
