Frank Eachus Publishing released Tattoo Art Trading Cards at the Philly Non-Sports Trading Card Show, April 21 & 22, with a great reception. The show attendees received 2 promo cards, and the first fifty sets sold at the show were guaranteed to contain an autographed card. The 25-card base set contains many heavy-hitters of the tattoo world, including Guy Aitchison, Durb Morrison, Gabriel Cece, Pat Patterson, and more! Also included in the set are cards depicting tattooed circus performers of the past, and other historically significant cards. The base set also contains an autographed art card from the artist "Pepper." One in four sets contain an autographed card.
The idea for the set was the brain-child of Frank Eachus. "I came up with the idea a couple of years ago, and it was very gratifying to see the tremendous response at the Philly Non-Sports Card Show." The cards are popular with collectors due to the art, and the fantastic talent of the artists. Of course, the cards are also popular with tattoo enthusiasts, who like the cards for the same reasons.Frank Eachus Publishing plans to release subsequent cards in the form of 5-card packs. The packs will contain more artist feature cards, autograph cards, and chase cards. The company expects an August 2012 release of the 5-card packs.
Eachus has been a trading card collector for many years. "I've combined my publishing vocation, with my card collecting hobby, and I'm having a blast," says Eachus. Frank Eachus Publishing plans to release several more sets of trading cards, based on several different subjects. "Our company is now officially in the trading card business, my partner, Paul Kozak, and myself are very excited about the prospects, the hobby seems to be gaining popularity, and we hope to contibute to the continued increase of interest in the non-sport trading card hobby," says Eachus.
