PAX East Trading Cards

Mot Buchanan

I'm told that the interest for trading cards has fallen off since the Pins have entered the scene.
I'm here to ask, is this true?

I know there are only a couple months till PAX East, but would people still be interested in doing this?

What if there was a game created where people would be able to design their own cards using a set of rules and it would help to keep people entertained while they wait in line?

I can't see examples of cards from past years... all the threads have been moved to the PAX archive and none of the images load.

I'd like to try to jumpstart something new if there is enough interest.

That was a link to a closed thread from 2012... I don't understand.

2012 was the last year we did the cards. Last year, in lieu of the cards, we tried the buttoneering thing that prime does. So far this year neither idea has been proposed that I have seen.

That thread gives examples of the cards and what people made. There are images loading right in the OP.
