Fursuit Trading cards ! (Updated)
8 years ago
Hey, guys, I'm trying to gauge interest in this project I want to do. I was thinking Fursuit Themed trading cards for people to trade at conventions and just for fun.
Is there an interest in these baseball style cards?
I'm thinking of printing them myself on card stock and laminating them. I know lamination done by heat tends to be very thick and nice. It'd mean the cards would be cheaper too. The only problem is I don't know how to package these cards which I'd need advice for since I have no idea how to do foil packaging. I'm considering shrink wrap though and inserting a little paper thing in front of the first card so you don't know what you're getting in each pack which would be completely randomized.
This project would be open to all fursuits with guidelines of course. I want to know how many people would want these. If I get enough submissions I'll randomize who gets printed in which series and who gets a foil card etc.
Also if its popular enough I'll do a secondary series with people's fursonas where you can pay to be drawn on your own custom card and get your own personal card along with being in the series itself.
Extra stuff:
If the cards get popular I'll do an art series of cards.
To get featured on a card you'll need 2 high-quality photos, Your suit must be clean looking and not mangy and unbrushed.
Pay a small fee perhaps? $20 maybe or $25 or upgrade the card to have a holofoil variant for $35.
Cards will randomly be chosen to get the holofoil treatment
Raffles will be held for a free chance to get featured on a card for fun!
Cards will be numbed by series and edition.
Some cards will be rarer than others based on a random number generator for fairness.
Every person featured gets a very own copy of their card and a booster card. Included in the above fee.
Fursuits must not look low quality and badly put together. Most suits don't look THAT bad so this shouldn't be an issue honestly.
Each card will feature the name and a full body photo along with a bio, date, suit maker, owners name, character's name and species. Along with a random fact chosen by the owner. The fact must be SFW.
All photos and info must be SFW as well.
Partial suits will be accepted as long as they have a full outfit on that hides the "Human" parts. As in no skin showing. Unless it is part of the costume itself.
Cards will be hand printed on heavy cardstock and laminated for extra durability. I'm unable to use coated cardstock in an inkjet printer unless I get a laser before the project starts then that will be a thing. Cards will be custom cut with my Cameo machine and have those lovely rounded edges.
As for art cards to be featured on an art, the card will be $35 or $40 and custom art will be made of your character. Similar stats to the fursuit cards or perhaps cute RPG details. Unsure yet. Anyone will be eligible for art style cards. Raffles will be held as well and this is an alternative for those who don't own a fursuit but still want to be a part of an exciting project!
Special edition cards may be made of a character or fursuit for things like Fursuit Tourney winner or something. Undetermined as of yet, though. With art cards, you can choose lots of fun options. As with both sets if you are randomly chosen for the holofoil treatment you will be notified and given a holofoil edition of your card for free.
Possiblity of custom cards being made for events to be extra special !

I'm considering having people pay to be on the cards as well but i'm not sure how to go about it. The fee would not be that high no where near 100 maybe 20 or something. But you'd be free as a test subject. I gotta think more. I'll be designing the templates by hand as well since I have some cool ideas so having you as a test subject helps test them. Two pictures can be used. 1 full body and a bust shot. I can easily crop photos to.
