McSWEENEY’S AUTHOR CARDS (SERIES 2)
This is a preorder, these cards will be arriving by early December in time for domestic holiday shipping. For series one, click here. Individual packs are available for free when you spend or donate $100 or more through the end of 2024. Each pack of McSweeney’s Author Cards contains one complete set of cards.
Now up to the plate! Series two of the author trading cards you’ve always imagined were possible but never dared to dream.
You’ve seen athletes get the trading card treatment for years. Maybe you’re still hanging on to your dad’s dog-eared Mickey Mantle rookie card and have been wondering, “When will my favorite Afrofuturist, Octavia Butler, get her own trading card?” or “Do they make these cards for writers like Lauren Groff, Donald Barthelme, or Amy Tan?” The wait is over, friends. McSweeney’s has begun publishing tradeable, collectible author cards. Each pack includes fifteen cards printed on high-quality paper, each featuring bios, trivia, little-known publishing stats, original illustrated portraits, and huge fun. (No chewing gum included.)
The first series of author trading cards (featuring many of McSweeney’s nearest and dearest friends and more) are available exclusively inside the stunning, Art Spiegelman–designed lunchbox shell of McSweeney’s 74, and now series two is on its way, including specialty horror and science fiction decks. Available for the time being exclusively in this three-pack bundle, or individually for FREE when you spend $100 or more in the McSweeney’s site this holiday season.
Keep your eyes out for more author decks, arriving at surprising intervals (possibly during Major League Baseball season), and don’t miss the chance to commemorate your favorite writers with these charming and unforgettable trading cards.
This three-pack bundle of McSweeney’s Author Cards includes:
McSweeney’s Author Cards Pack #4
