That movie was tough to sit through again, despite the added dimension. It effectively crushed my love of Star Wars. I think this will be my last Star Wars card for a while.

On the bright side, I found Jar Jar Binks slightly less annoying than young Anakin Skywalker this time around. Man, that poor kid couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Don't get me wrong, Jar Jar is still annoying as hell...

It is only a matter of time before my new employers realize my true talents are being wasted...

I'm not sure where making fake baseball cards might fit in at a university registrar's office, but who knows???

One thing for sure, this bad boy is going in my cubicle on Monday morning.

I started on these cards two years ago, just after Halloween 2009.  I was so impressed by the entries that year, that I thought I should give it a go.  I'd already been making custom cards, and thought, why not enter?

A year later, Halloween was fast approaching.  I was printing my cards and preparing to iron paraffin onto a custom made wrapper, when all hell broke lose.  First, Thorzul, in his Pabst Blue Ribbon rage decided to in essence ban all 1975 Topps entries.  Shit.  Two, I ended up spending most of the month of October with my father in intensive care.

I was going to ignore Thorzul's "rules" because I thought he'd like the design, since I did pretty much cater to his favorites.  Yet, that whole father in the hospital episode pulled me right out of collecting/blogging, and I've never really recovered from that.

Fast forward to Halloween 2011.  I still have the cards.  They are still sitting there wrapped in wax and waiting for the contest.  Thorzul opens the entries and the one requirement is "NO TOPPS." Double shit.
 
I sent Thorzul an email practically begging to bend the rules.  Nope, no-can-do.  "Rules are rules."  His classroom must be awfully close to the Governor's Mansion and all that bad mojo is corroding his wonderfully twisted mind.

In the end, I'm still sitting on a pack of custom cards that I haven't seen the light of day since late 2009.  Triple shit.

Anyways, I'm sure I'll somehow be preemptively disqualified in 2012, so I'll just start showing those cards here.  Behold the one and only wax pack of Terror Cards - '75 Whacks Pack Serial One in the world!
