STAR WARS TRADING CARD SHOW in NYC by SUCKADELIC

STAR WARS GALAXY 4
CUSTOM SKETCH CARD SHOW AND AUCTION!
OCTOBER 2 at APW GALLERY LONG ISLAND CITY NEW YORK 6 - 9 PM

What, you don't know what that is? Well earlier this year, TOPPS, yes TOPPS the venerable institution of American Trading cards asked me to curate a series of actual STAR WARS fucking trading cards. It was to be part of a new set called STAR WARS GALAXY, a series of art-based Star Wars cards. The batch that SuckLord organized were to be a ground-breaking (so he's told) series of die-cut sketch cards.

Sketch cards are all the rage in trading cards these days. What they are is blank trading cards that are distributed to professional artists to draw on. Then the actual drawings are blind packed in with the regular cards and the collectors go nuts trying to find them all. It's very exciting. The set SuckLord put together was a new direction for Topps for two reasons:

1) They are die-cut in the shape of Darth Vader and Stormtrooper helmets as opposed to the usual rectangles.

2) They asked SuckLord of all people to draw upon his stable of underground weirdos to do the drawings instead of their usual gang of established professionals. The results of this experimental effort yielded a wide ranging assortment of original, often abstract artwork that was actually quite a hit with the fringe groups who actually care about this stuff.

NOW, we have a huge sampling of these cards up for display and auction at APW gallery in Queens NYC. On October 2nd (this Friday) you are invited to come out, see the work, place some bids, and get a cool buzz going with more free beer from our pals at BEERLAO.

And there's more!

We got large, painting-size trading cards on display by some of the superstar artists from GALAXY 4, a handful of custom Sucklord figures, also by GALAXY 4 artists, and we will have have available for the first time, the new SUCKPAX Suckadelic indie art card series. This is a new series of retro style trading cards designed by the Sucklord himself. The packs are loaded with original sketch cards, mystery chase pieces and the promise of a "golden ticket," redeemable for a fantastic prize! Get in on the ground floor peoples!

This is gonna be pretty dope, bring some money or at least your bad self and get involved in the next Trading Card revolution. Sucklord running it, so you know it's gonna rule. Everything he does is awesome, you knew that... Go to the Suckadelic site, there you can link to a catalog of the artwork and get directions to the gallery.
