To be released in August 2026. Cryptozoic has been putting out Peanuts themed trading card packs for about a year now but this is the first family card game aimed at a younger audience (and young at heart).
The first 8 photos focus on what's in the card game. The other photos are the lighthearted traditional cards with stickers, tattoos, standers, and pseudo autograph and fabric cards.
Nice images hiding in the background with ties to summertime.
After decades of thinking about different items accumulated during childhood years (age 6 to 12) I realized something surprising. I'm wondering if it is unique from my perspective or if it's more universal.
My memory fades when it comes to Christmas presents and birthday gifts. The specific years that I received them. The items that are burnt into my memory are things I bought with my own money (either from a weekly allowance, selling Kool-Aid on the edge of the sidewalk, or mowing lawns).
I can recall specifically racing out of elementary school to the white truck selling convenience store-type things. My only interest was see if there was a box of Wacky Packages or Marvel Superhero stickers. Or riding my bike to a 7-eleven and looking through the spinner rack of newly released comic books on Tuesday afternoons. Or when dragged along on shopping trips and looking at at the capsule vending machines for the coolest looking items that I had a chance at getting for a dime.
Nostalgic, for me, was having total control on severely limited disposal income. Thinking really hard before I parted with minuscule amounts of money for gum cards, comic books, or gambling with a vending machine for a prize. As a preteen plopping down coins and living with my selection for the week.
What are the most memorable things you received during your elementary school years (and a year or two before you started school)?
