Hi Adam, I really like the cards. As a trading card collector, I think it is a great way to get kids interested in meteorites. They'll make excellent stocking stuffers. You did a fantastic job on them, they look very professional. I have a trading card with a piece of Angelina Jolie's clothing embedded in it and it's worth a fair bit. Your cards can only go up in value.

Trace Angelina Jolie's clothing??? Value is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Celebrity auctions are fairly common. My crystal ball see's a new product line for Bessey Specks.
