WHAT IS FLAT CITY?

Take sugar and spice- and mix it with a ball of mud. That's the world of Flat City!

 

These cards feature the super ghetto, crudely drawn, but loveable artwork of average Flat City residents dealing with real life issues such as:

  • Events like: Noisy neighbors, Wedgies, Eviction, Man Hands, Elevator Farts...
  • People like: Street vendors, Beggars, Peeping toms, Music snobs...
  • Items like: Buckets of fried chicken, Fart can mufflers, Tramp stamps...

We can relate to their suffering and joy because they are real, gritty, and approachable.

 

Card contents may include crude humor and the occasional mild risque innuendo. Perfect for 12 to 120 year olds!

ABOUT THE CARDS

Image
Compare the difference looking edge-on at a standard card to the left, and one of ours to the right!
We're proud to release the Original Series Trading Cards, the first of hopefully many more to come. A full checklist of all the cards in the series can be found here , and it will eventually be upgraded into an interactive database for viewers and fans to enjoy.

 

The cards themselves are printed on high-quality, virgin white 18 point card stock, and have a solid, old-school sort of feel. They are also UV spray coated for durability additional resistance from fading due to sunlight.

 

Cards are sized at the traditional 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch baseball card format. They will fit neatly within standard vinyl binder card sheets, card protectors, or card sleeves.

 

They’re really nice and thick! Stick them in your bicycle spokes and they will stay stuck! Fozz them at your co-workers, and hear them howl in pain from the tight corners! Wait. Actually, we don’t recommend that you do this. That was a really stupid idea.

 

HOW THEY ARE RANDOMIZED

We have a computer-controlled randomization method which makes sure that your chances of getting duplicate cards are minimized as much as possible. Our software takes into account which cards are adjacent to the current pack and tries to balance the odds during picking.

 

The cards are then packed by hand to ensure quality control. We swear to everyone that our machine isn't fueled by the souls of the Damned but it's really quite good at getting randomization right that it almost looks that way!

 

There are four types of cards available- common, rare, very rare, and ultra rare. There are always 8 (eight) common cards in each 9 card pack, and the odds of the remaining card are listed below:

SOMETHING TO NOTE FOR CARD COLLECTING PURISTS

Image
Teamwork. Honor. Integrity. That's what we are all about here.
We did not get these cards die cut. Minor variances in size with each card may exist. This has been a mixed blessing as somehow hard core card collecting purists actually rather like it! Some really hate it though.

 

The verdict is still somewhat in the air as to go with die cutting or stay with draw cutting. It's about exacting reproducability, or the old school effect in play.

 

For those who love it, draw cutting seemed to have accidentally added to the appeal of the card series, bringing them back to their youth when slight variances brought a thrill to collecting individual cards. Precision die-cut fans argue that eliminating the variances is a required step in today's modern collectible landscape.

 

The debate rages on and we value customer input as we are impartial to both camps. Whatever side of the fence you are on we’re sure you will find the cards quite pleasing nonetheless!
