This is not the Steve Jackson "Gamer" series, but a NEW
trading card set profiling the characters and concepts of our
holy church. But the CONSPIRACY makes it expensive-
REAL expensive to produce it properly. We're looking for
devoted Dobbsian patrons who will sponsor specific
preachers or concepts for just $100 each. All that is needed
are 60 such "friends of the church". And those who help
will get some neat premiums. But it won't happen without
YOUR support.
Here's the scoop: Think of a preacher (like Doktor Legume)
OR a concept (like "slack") you want to sponsor in the set.
Sponsor that preacher or concept and get YOUR NAME on
the card as the the one who dedicated it. You're email name
is okay if you would rather use that. It costs $100- because
that's what it costs to PRINT the set in color. Besides
eternal salvation and everlasting slack, here's what ELSE
you get:
1. One of just 100 autographed sets (signed by each
preacher profiled).
2. A set of the regular cards (not signed).
3. Fifty singles of the card you sponsored with your name
or email address on it. (Your name or email address will be
on every card you sponsor , if you want that, not just the
ones you recieve. If you sponsor Doktor Legume, it's on
ALL Legume's cards.) It's the ultimate business card! (The
kind J.R. would use.)
4. The option of having YOU featured on a card for another
$100 (first come, first serve- as space permits). If you don't
want a card on yourself, no problem. You save the second
$100! There will probably only be room for 5-15
such cards, so there's no guarentee. But the second $100 is
only required if you want such a card AND get it. But even
without it- imagine your pull with the Xists if you sponsor
the Prairie Squid card or whatever else. Cool!
Note: The preachers profiled will also get the same deal
listed above (autograph set, regular set, 50 singles of their
own card to use however they wish).
We're hoping these will be in full color, and if enough
people respond, it will be. Most will be sold as sets for just
$15. Some will be sold in packs, complete with gum. There
should be 50 to 60 cards in the set (probably 60).
If there is not enough response, everybody gets their money
back (yes, all of it). It will be known by the year's end if it's
going forward or not. Even if the world is destroyed, you'll
STILL get your money back unless the set is
finished and on sale by Christmas 2000. It should be ready
by Christmas 1999, but it may need some leeway. If the set
IS made, you get NO money back. So don't think of this as
a "investment" in anything other than spreading the word of
"Bob".
This project is being headed up by Papa Joe Mama. He's
worked on several card sets before and knows the biz. If
you're interested, e-mail him at:
papajoe@subgenius.com
Money Orders only be made out and sent to:
Be sure to include who you want to sponser and if you want
your name or email on the final card.
I will keep everyone posted on what cards are being made,
remember this is a first come first served, or first
sponsored, first made basis

Include your return address and phone number (and email if
you have it). If your character or concept has already been
sponsored by someone else, you'll be contacted and given
the option to sponsor something else or get your money
back.
The Subgenius Foundation is licensing this project, but
we're not responsible for the money once you send it to
Papa Joe. It's between YOU and HIM. He's
been reliable for the decade Stang has know him and hasn't
screwed any subgenius before (financially speaking) but if
there are any problems- we are NOT responsible.
Send money orders and a SASE. This way it will be easier
if they need to be sent back.
This isn't expected to be a big money maker. The goal is to
AT LEAST break even. But trading cards are the ultimate
pop culture icon, and "Bob" certainly deserves his own set.
Plus they'll make great items to undermine the main
streamers. (Imagine the pinks and norms trying to make
heads or tails out of them.)
Let's try to support this and save the cynicism for other
projects. There are bound to be problems with who gets in
and who doesn't, etc., etc., but in the end, it should be a
good addition to the Subgenius cause. If you can help,
great. Besides sponsoring someone, help with artwork will
also be appreciated. But don't expect to get paid. The only
budget is the one created with your help.
Yours in Christ,
Jesus
