Those of you who buy from RACS know that since spring they have been enclosing art cards with a purchase. Being something of a completest I would like to have a full set.
I'm missing cards #3, #6 and #8. If anyone has extras of these and doesn't want them or would like to trade PM me. I have extras of cards #2, #4, #5 and #7.

Since you have shopped the web site you probably noticed the little "anime girl" vignettes that are scattered throughout the site. As I understand it these are original art that Robert had made. The main girl Noemi is the site mascot.
Last fall he had chocolate coins (the foil wrapped kind) made up with Noemi's features impressed on them. He included one with each order as a bit of lagniappe. Unfortunately with the onset of warm weather and the vagaries of shipping this was stopped. A spoiled chocolate coin being worse than none at all.
To replace the coins he commissioned a set of ten cards featuring Noemi and crew in a variety of poses representing various genres of anime. They are limited to a couple of thousand for each of the numbered cards. Physically they are 5 by 7 inches on standard card stock. They are very similar to the advertisement cards for new shows TRSI and RACS have included in the past. Unfortunately the distribution has, as advertised, been random.
I'm hoping for more chocolate as the weather gets colder.
