2019 Iconic Creations Iconic Literature Makes Trading Card Art Out of the Classics

2019 Iconic Creations Iconic Literature trading cards highlight original artistic interpretations of the classics. The checklist includes a mix of base, chase and sketch cards created by many notable names in the industry.

This is a premium-style product that promises at least one sketch card per pack. There’s also one of three other cards: a metal chase card, wooden chase card or wooden sketch card. These take the sketch card concept only with the original art done on wood.

Also in the works are box toppers that have original art.

• The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
• The Count of Monte Cristo
• Don Quixote
• Dracula
• Frankenstein
• The Jungle Book

• Picture of Dorian Grey
• Pride and Prejudice
• Robinson Crusoe
