I just received my 2nd big haul and now I have 2087-2098, 2107 & 2108 & 2125-2133 along with several LEGEBNDS sets.
All I'm missing is 2088, 2093, 2101-2104 and everything after 2108 and before 2125. So I'm definitely on my way.
I also grabbed the Live Event edition which is really neat. Definitely a cool concept. I've watched the live event on You Tube and was intrigued and the actual set is pretty dang cool I must admit.

PP 14-15 you'd have to print out
16-17 you can purchase cards for. 18 you can buy just COTG cards.

Since Promoter Prime has been brought up, are the old school print issues of The Promoter available at all? I'd love to get my hands on as many of them as possible. I used to have a subscription and still have a few issues but they aren't in the best condition.
One of the issues I still have features Twin Blood w/ Johnny Rocket on the cover. Its a great piece of art by Jeremy Su.

Always loved Su's art. I would suspect there might be a few stray promoters around although I doubt too many if only because that was Mark Ashby's thing and he has departed the COTGverse for the time being.

That's a shame, but I had figured old issues of the Promoter are likely lost. Surprised they haven't at least been archived for digital consumption, or have they? I was a fan of Su's art as well. I consider Carter and Snelly to be the godfathers of CotG art, after them its up in the air. Bendis contributed some great pieces but also delivered some seriously horrendous art. he was all over the place. Su's art was mostly great and while at the time I know there were people who didn't enjoy it, Hannibal King's art had its charms as well. I know Gustovich isn't well thought of, but his art was actually really solid. It was very plain for sure, but it was technically sound. |

I've been spending the afternoon looking through all of the new cards that arrived a week back. Looking through all the cards from the Sudden Death and revolution years really brought back some great memories. I especially marked out looking over CPC 2107 & 2108. I plan on reading through all of the booklets for those sets for the first time in years. I love the style of the old Handbooks. There is just something really great about the language Tom uses in the old editions.
My only issue with the modern Handbooks is they lack a dedicated Scouting Report section for the new cards in that edition. It makes it so much easier when trying to find out the special moves and info for new characters.
