Took a trip to Shake It Records, one of the great independent music stores left in the country, while on a trip to Cincinnati recently and lo and behold came across a box of Suckadelic Action Art Card Series 2 trading cards. In a wax pack!
Well, since I seem to be attracted to shiny (and obscure) objects, and, since the wrapper was a bright yellow and neon pink (and I had never heard of it before), I just had to get a pack.
The description on the pack says that it is the poop (though they don’t use that exact wording): “bootleg action figures, lo-fi sci-fi, outer space breaks, evil supervillainy, dusted video, retro trading cards, soft-core smut ….” (Sorry, mom.)
Inside was exactly that. Seven old-school trading cards, designed to look circa late 70s, early 80s a la Tron or E.T., produced in the good-ol’ U.S. of A.
Take a gander for yourself:
The pack, in a UPC code-type-puzzle, called you a jerk (though they don’t use that exact wording) for buying this. That may be true … but the pack was just too weird and random to pass up.
Anyone else have these cards?
These are cut from the same cloth as the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comic books.
I may just have to check those out!
Thanks for reading (and commenting) …
I’ve seem them… In fact, I sell them and most of the other cards by Sidekick Labs as well! Great company!
Cool! I’ll have to check out your site!

I saw them behind glass in a toy store in LA, way out of my price range. They also had a Sucklord blister, a Pink Stormtrooper, for $300. Instant classic.
Cool … I saw the Pink Stormtrooper on their website. Definitely drew a smile. Maybe I should’ve picked up a few more packs just to see more!

I’ve never seen these in my life but they look cool as shit!
They are so off the wall!
