Twin Galaxies 1st series trading cards - I made the cut...post a pic if you did too!
Well in the weird world of the arcade machines/gaming I've been given the honor of having my face plastered onto a trading card. I donated a Space Invaders Deluxe to the International Video Game Hall of Fame last year to go into the musuem that they are planning on building sometime hopefully within our lifetime. I bought the machine for $20 and I knew it wasn't a "keeper" so I contacted Walter Day regarding to ask if he would be interested in having it for the future museum. He was extremely thankful, sent me a bunch of signed posters, included my face and name in a poster for last year's Big Bang event in Ottumwa, Iowa (I got to sign autographs with Billy Mitchell) and has kept in touch with me since then. He emailed me last week to inform me I would be included in the trading card set and honored at the event next week in Ottumwa, Iowa...unfornuately I don't have the funds to attend...it would be fun!
I know some people have their issues with Twin Galaxies but I appreciate their efforts to keep classic gaming alive and Walter Day is a class act. I think a couple of other KLOVers donated machines or have high scores (he's looking at you Richie Knucklez) so if you're on a trading card post a pic on this thread!
I should have a bunch of the actual trading card in a few weeks. Autographed cards will be $1000.00 shipped
