ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

In preparation for the pending release of their 25th Artist Series Card, Letter Pressed is offering up copies of some of their very first cards. From the beginning, LP has put aside about 25 of each AS Card to sell at a later time. Although some mishaps depleted their overage of the first four cards (yes, sadly Joe Ledbetter’s card included) they are currently selling 10-25 of each card starting with Nathan Jurevicius’s (#5) and ending with Abe Lincoln Jr.’s (#14). In addition to Nate and Abe, up for grabs are also cards by Jon Burgerman, Kathie Olivas, Brandt Peters, Jermaine Rogers, Bwana Spoons, Jeremiah Ketner, Brendan Monroe and Candykiller.

They will be sold as single cards, most for $7.50/card (strict limit of one card per customer). These are from the original runs (LP never makes reprints) and are unsigned. They will release cards #15 through #20 (and upwards) at a later time. I have several of the cards being re-released and they’re really little individual works of art that have to be seen/touched to be appreciated. I chatted with Mark Begley of Letter Pressed back in November, so check out the interview for more insight and close-up pictures of the cards.

In related news, Letter Pressed is also selling some more of their Presston Plushes and has started accepting pre-orders for new AS cards by Anna Chambers and DGPH!
