The Firefly art was meant to be reduced in size to fit T206 cards, which measure 1-7/16" x 2-5/8", as shown below.

This are really cool. Are all the cards eventually going to have the character names on them? any idea when a file of the complete set will be available? Really looking forward to printing these out.

Quote:Adding names makes these look more like old-fashion baseball trading cards. Mike Dalton intended to make only 10 pictures, printed the same size as T206 tobacco cards. A hundred years ago, tiny 1-7/16" x 2-5/8" pictures of baseball players were put into cigarette packs as prizes. Weren't people in the old days easy to manipulate with pictures of celebrities? But I'd start smoking two packs a day if R. J. Reynolds put Firefly pictures into Winstons. I want a Badger, a Niska, a Patience, and a Crow trading card. And a pair of Dodsons, with one or two eyes. And Saffron, both the hillbilly version and the sophisticated seductress. And the Operative! And the Hands of Blue Guys!! And also . . .

It would be sooooo epic if there was an actual licensed Firefly trading card game.

I have posted the new sheet with the names on them at my deviant art account. I am glad you like them.

There are actual trading cards.... but as far as I'm aware they don't form any sort of game, just collectable.

Oh! Sorry, I should have made myself more clear!
I was refering to the 'mass produced' versions.... the ones made by Inkworks in 2006?
Those are the only ones I know of available to buy, and there aren't many- so I think its great fans are making their own! :)
