I've been out of the loop for a little while now but I just came across this and it's great.

"It's not particularly uncommon for a popular television series or movie to release a limited line of trading cards. While trading cards are not as popular as they once were (quite possibly due to the advent of CCG's), they do still exist and some people still dig them. The Firefly universe (which includes the Serenity movie, of course) released a 72 card line of trading cards ... and the suckers have sold out. Individual outlets may still be selling some, but the manufacturer has no more to give. Nobody moves THAT many trading cards these days -- they are more of a novelty than anything anymore -- but you fans did it anyway."

That is beautiful. :) Now if I could just get some cards for myself...

Just the manufacturer http://www.inkworks.com is sold out.

Shiny.

I wonder how many boxes inkworks produced.

Distributors and Retail stores still
have Firefly The Complete Collection Premium Trading Cards.

Check out your nearest comic book store.

You can access the Comic Shop Locator Service by calling toll free:
1-888-COMIC BOOK
(1-888-266-4226)
http://www.comicshoplocator.com

There is a cool Firefly Collector Album too.
I hope I have enough room in it to put the Serenity/Firefly Comic Books too!

Finally found a picture of it :

Does anyone know what brick and mortar retailers are still selling the cards? I didn't know that the cards were out already!

Not sure what B&M's are selling them, but they should be at TFAW if you have one in your area. Your local comic or card shop mihgt have ordered some also.

But online www.poplollies.com should still have some left. They are cool Browncoats and have a ton of 'verse related stuff.

Also, from what I read, the Firefly cards were produced in the same quantity as the Serenity cards. But the binders were created in much greater numbers due to demand. It seems more people wanted binders than cards :)

Just doing my part, Cap'n.

Gone mine in the mail today. Shiny! With binder, too.

Gonna put my Serenity cards in with, so they can play nice together. FF ones first, of course.

Well, just look at the binder. It is shiny!!

And I just thought of another thing I can put
in it. I can put the Serenity ticket stubs
I have in the trading card plastic sleeves I got
from a Comic Book store.

They also sell plastic sleeves that allow comic books to be stored in the 3-ring binders. The 9 cover Comic book will look shiny in the binder.

Every Browncoat needs one of these binders for their souvenirs.
