Daniel Huffman\u2019s map projection trading cards<\/a> are now a thing you can order. Daniel, earlier this month<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A couple months back, I floated an idea for making some fun trading cards based on map projections. I\u2019m very happy to report that several dozen of you responded and contributed designs to help make the set happen. I\u2019ve been spending several weeks on managing everyone and working through logistics, and I\u2019m pleased to now be able to offer a pre-order of The Projection Collection<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The cards can be pre-ordered here<\/a>, with delivery later this year (or pickup at NACIS). Each pack has 16 cards, with complete sets not available by design<\/a>\u2014these are meant to be trading<\/em> cards in the classic sense. Pre-orders will close on July 6<\/a>, so you have until then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
