This was a /toy/ thread but I redid it for /tg/

I'm 31, born in 81, and when I was about 12 or 13 or so I bought a pack of sci-fi art trading cards. I lost them long ago, but I was impressed by the artwork, and I'd like to track down the artist, whose name I didn't remember.

I also had some Jurassic Park trading cards, and some X-men series 2 trading cards. Full sets of JP sell on ebay for $35, and I once bought a box of X-Men series 2 for six bucks. SIX BUCKS, people.

It's not this, I checked.

Once my best "friend" traded me a foil X-men cards for some jank, and it took me forever to get another foil X-men of that character. I was so pissed at him for suckering me like that. It was my best friend goddammit. Really opened my eyes to how I see people.

Another time, we were at a card shop, and I let my friend go first to buy cards. He pulled the hologram Wolverine, which was the super-rare-incredibly hard-to-find-card that was the chase rare of the set.

After taking a quick spin through ebay, I figured out that it was the John Burkey trading card set. The art is still really good, if a bit dated. Very late 70s, early 80s. Like coming outta that Star Wars art phase.

That got me inspired.

Anyway, sci-fi cyberpunk / non-sports Trading cards general? Also, anybody have any cool stories of collecting cards as kids?

Also plot hooks for a campaign set in the future?
