[Groop] Groo Cards

[Tone]

Gary,

As promised you wrote a verbose response to my inquiry about the IG card
sheet. However, while you provided a good bit of the history involving the
cards you did not actually describe them much.

You did say, "Oh, they are an odd size because of the extra length needed
above the cards themselves so it is difficult to store." Yet, you did not
share with us the actual dimensions of the odd size. Your description is
the first time I remember hearing it being referred to as "mini", so now I
am somewhat more confused than before.

I thought the IG card sheet was around the size of an 8.5x11" color
printed paper. Now I am not quite sure about that and I am not even clear
about whether it is on paper or card stock. Is it one sided? If there is a
back, then what is on it? At the moment I am under the impression the
front primarily has all nine images from the Images of Groo cards by
artists other than Sergio. Is that front side impression accurate and/or
is there anything else like a text block or imagery, etc. along with the 9
card images?

Since talk of the 50 rare sketch cards has come up recently and the
limited list was pointed out, I was reminded of the 25-count Images of
Groo card sheets. For some time I have been thinking about them. For
whatever reason I keep thinking it is/was some kind of promo sheet. Is it
the same thing I have heard some of the Groop members (maybe by members
that is only referring to you Gary, but I no longer know anymore) say they
have slid into the clear sleeve in the front cover of the 3-ring binders,
which hold their Groo card collection in those 9-card plastic sleeves? Is
that what the Groo IG Card sheet is, or are the two completely separate
items? Either way I am not sure if I have ever seen one sold on eBay,
which makes me think whatever each thing we might be referring to is quite
rare.

Gary you also said, "OK, I really can't think of anything else to say
about the IG card sheets." Does my e-mail help fill in the blanks of other
possible things to say regarding the IG Card sheet? :)

As always, Thanks for all the incredible Groo collectible knowledge you
share with the Groop.
