I am digging the cards, and I have them on my desk with all of my other new acquisitions.  It is all part of a bigger hobby, that I really enjoy.
I have a single of each card set aside for myself, and any future trades I do, I will pop one into the box before I seal it up and send it out.
I would occasionally get extra freebies trading cards from Smalljoes.com when I ordered product, it all adds to the small community of collecting.

Mike, I didn't mean to come off as an ingrate...

It was a pretty cool gesture of you to be thoughtful like that. I just wanted to share my thoughts as they happened when I received and opened the envelope (I had educated myself about everything but the "beaver name" before posting, by the way). I had no intention of offending you or anyone else when I made that post.

The cards are pretty cool, but they're not my cup of tea. I have absolutely no problem sending them back to you if you'd rather give them to someone who'd want them more.

I'd rather not be taken off the mailing list though. Just because I'm not a fan of collectible cards doesn't mean I don't appreciate everything else you guys do here.
I sincerely hope I can attend the Canadian Joe Con next year, and the last thing I'd want to do is alienate this entire community.

I would have posted soon but stuff like cegep graduation and killing my wireless router by trying to update the firmware but accidentally leaving  BT client open put my behind schedule...  I'm really sorry I didn't get around to posting a thank-you message sooner, but here it is:

I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to JoeCanuck.com!  The cards are great, they look really professional and the artwork just plain kicks ass.  Then I turned the cards around.  The bios made my day!  My brother and I really got a kick out of them!  Little things like Birthplace: Hamilton, Ontario; "French Cruller," Beaver Name, etc. all contribute to the vast fun factor of the cards.  And that Star Trek one with Kirk and Spock was a neat bonus!

I really enjoy these cards and I can't wait to see what else JoeCanuck.com has planned!  Thanks a lot!  I hope you guys keep offering these cards, as I really like them and I'd love to get some more!

Hey Mike, these are really by far, some of the most beautiful cards I've ever owned. Colours are brilliant. If someone says something bad about them, then they should be ashamed. These cards look well beyond the result of a simple effort, you can really feel the thought and heart that was behind them, so I'm proud to say that I'll be bringing them to the Montreal Toy Con and display mine at my table for everyone to see! It was pretty obvious to me that the doubles were intended for trading so I distributed them all amongst some friends, so mission accomplished!

This makes me want to sponsor at least one card eventually. Can you give us an example / idea how much the investment is ?

You should consider making cards with a bigass front and back photos of those specially customized carded versions of the joe meet exclusive figures!

Thanks alot to everyone at Joecanuck for this nice surprise because it really was unexpected. Getting an enveloppe in the mail other than coming  from my credit card company is a rarity to me, so it really made my day and was a truly emotional moment for me.

I am new to this site and just received some cards in the mail. They are beautifully done and are of high quality and promote the web site and collecting of GI Joe's perfectly.

I am surprised it has been nearly a year since anyone has posted in this this thread.

If anyone does not want their cards, I will gladly take them and give them to friends or trade them for cards that I need. Just PM me...

I do not live in Canada, and doubt that I will ever be able to attend a show, but this site will keep me current with the goings on.

I hope many, many more cards come out moving forward. Anyone have a spare #3? (not my primary goal of this message  ;D )

Thanks.

Mike

So where are you from Mike? Welcome aboard! I don't know if I still have a spare #3 card, but I'll keep you in mind if I do.

Hey guys,

I'm new here and after forgetting my password for a bit (doh - have too many of the damn things), I  have finally managed to log in.  Love the site, and was blown away by the quality of the cards.  They are beautifully done and I've already shared a few of my extras!  Now to go after those missing cards!  I collect all types of figures including Joes - these are a wonderful addition to my collection which my wife does not understand at all but tolerates with grace and humor.
