I'm not a huge fan of the remastered colors on these, but it saves the wear and tear on my early Conan back issues when I want to pull these out to read.

For Day 25, I have here a partial set of the 2004 Conan trading card set plus some of the chase cards. I picked this up about a year and a half ago for $5 form my friend's vintage toy store-Roma Collectibles & Toys. It's owner Arron, had just gotten a cancer diagnosis, and I was grabbing a few things to show support, and he had this in his case with some other trading card sets. I was unfamiliar with the set, but it was Conan and only $5 so I added it to my pile of stuff that day.
