"The TAYLOR SWIFT HISTORICAL TRADING CARD set is a personal art project created by Walter Day to honor the world's most talented performer. Though many sets of the cards have been sent directly to Taylor and her family, the card set can't be distributed to the public because the images and text are unauthorized and violate copyright laws. So, the set must remain in the realm of artistic expression."
Drawing on open-source text in the public domain found on Wikipedia and using vintage images -- also free-to-use in the public domain — we have created a classic American Baseball card set that focuses equally on the players' personal lives as well as their time on the field.

A subset of the Superstars of 2021, Our Pinball Legacy series of trading cards celebrates the 90th anniversary of the birth of coin-operated pinball (1931-2021). To honor this tremendous legacy, we invited more than 400 pinball aficianados to pose with their favorite pinball game for a trading card. And, on the back of the card, they wrote a 150-200 word biography, telling the story of their love for pinball while including in the text historical facts about the machine.
Taking six full months to create, this card series is a personal gift for the pinball community from Walter Day and he will not accept any money for doing this. Individuals interested in obtaining copies of their card can order through Roeland Hekker, c/o Frontline Printing, Fairfield, Iowa Contact: ourpinballlegacy@frontlineprints.com
