    Two More Trading Cards


    Card #6 should come as no shock to anyone, seeing as how much space I have devoted to Evel Knievel on the site. It almost felt like obligation to make it, so I did it early rather than later. It is arguably the most famous 70's toy I've done thus far.
    Number 7 is probably a surprise, Hugo is something I've only featured in passing but he's a pretty iconic character. This card was devised mostly because of Hugo's biggest fan, Rob Chatlin asked me to do it. Rob has been a gigantic help to PS from day one, providing many scans I wouldn't have otherwise. He planted the bug in my ear and I'm really happy with the results, thanks Rob!


    I have one more card to reveal but the thunderstorm outside has shut me down 3 times and I'm a little fed up right now.....

        Awesome. I had both of those as a kid. I forgot how creepy hugo was.

                    Great cards. I love Hugo. I just bought one at a flea market a few months ago. He still has the box but is missing a few of his disguises.

                      Awesome, I love Hugo. My grandparents bought me one when I was a kid, and we used to scare the crap out of my younger cousin with him. I wish I still had him, I think I'll have to re-buy one soon. We recently had a family reunion, I saw my cousin, and he still talks about Hugo and how creepy the damn thing is. I gotta get an extra one of those cards and mail it to my cousin.

                          Yeah, I would avoid Hugo in the stores as a kid. It's those eyes!
                          It's all good!
