Baroness Ancyra makes 'trading cards' - which is just as it sounds, but
instead of sports people, the GA trading cards feature peers and events of
Gleann Abhann.

They are generally given to all who attend Kingdom Level events.  Trade
them, collect them, give them away - it's up to you.  Just smile when you
receive them, because the other kingdoms don't have them!! :)

previous left over cards are mixed randomly within. As always, one
envelope per person, so you may actually have to trade the cards to
get the one you want. Sorry, no bubble gum included.

PS - all envelopes have at least 2 cards, most have 3, and a few even have
4.

The thing started as many things do with a vague idea.  I asked the
opinion of several people and then did what I wanted anyway.  It
includes the Groups, Rulers of Gleann Abhann, and Bestowed Peers in
approximate chronological order based on creation, reign, and
elevation dates.  Some have been skipped due to a lack of a signed
waiver, a good picture, or both.  There are also history cards, annual
event cards, and Notable Person cards.  It was meant to start at our
first Kingdom level event, but with the GA Hurricane relief effort in
full swing at that time, the first set were not finished until the
third Kingdom level event which was Kingdom Arts & Sciences.  They are
given out at each Crown List, Coronation, Fighter‚s Collegium, and
A&S.  They are also available at Gulf Wars if you volunteer, turn in
your chit, and ask for the card.  (As always, one per person.) There
has been one Kingdom level event they were not present for (that was
because of printer number 2 ˆ I‚m on number 4 now) and a few Œcatch
up‚ events where left over cards from previous events were given out.
I have put out a total of 43 cards.  Two sets were printed as post
cards that had to be cut to get the proper trading card size (dotted
lines included) the rest have been the standard baseball card size to
fit into the card sleeves.  I really did think of putting gum in the
envelopes, but the stick pieces would get expensive and the bigger
pieces, although cheaper, would get too bulky.  There is no SCA fund
for these cards, so several sets have been sponsored by Gleann
Abhanites and I host occasional sales to raise money for future cards.
As Baroness Barbara stated, they are posted on her website for all to
see.  She is not only a fan, but she has also been one of our
sponsors.
