Description:

In this swap, we will trade ATCs that are made in the same design as collectible trading cards used in games and some sports. So, instead of having a "random" piece of artwork on it, you will put a picture of some sort (can be a photo, drawing, painting, cutout, etc.) and some information about the subject. Here is a link to a small gallery of real trading cards to give you an idea of a design you can emulate.

For each of your 3 partners, you will send 1 ATC that's a trading card of yourself and 1 ATC that's a trading card of your partner. In other words, you should make 3 trading cards of yourself and 1 of each of your 3 partners, which means you will make 6 cards total.

The general style of the ATC is up to you and you may choose to use real names or to create characters representing people.You may also choose to use straight-forward facts (like age, location, family status) or you can be a little more tongue-in-cheek with the "information" on the card (e.g. in the examples, one character has a "giant tail" as a weapon and another character has +1 smarts and +1 weirdness).

Rules:
+ international
+ 4.5 rating or higher
+ at least one 5 rating in a real-mail swap
+ no 1s in the last three months (PM me about unfair ratings)
+ have enough information in your profile or written in a comment below that your partners can make a decent trading card for you

Questions, comments, clarification, suggestions? Feel free to leave a comment below or to PM me!

My son used to make his own trading cards, kind of violent in a young boy sort of way, while I would make ones like "truth" and "wisdom" and "honey" (you catch more flies with honey). So this sounds like fun!
