Does anyone have info on the cards?

<p>When I was growing up with Deltora, it was from this Scholastic book club that sent me all sorts of really cool things to go along with the books: a big map, stickers, models of the dragons... it was so amazing. </p><p>
</p><p>And among them, were many MANY cards. Cards with fantastic artwork of the different monsters, people, tribes, gems, artifacts... and they all had neat descriptions on them that would have been <i>great</i> info to add to this wiki. </p><p>I sadly do not have them anymore, and I cannot find <i>any</i> information on these cards <i>anywhere</i> on the internet. No articles, no wiki pages, no one selling them, and not even a single image of them. </p><p>I'd almost think I'd gone mad and made them up if I didn't find the old scholastic advertisement for the club: </p> <div class="floatright">

<p>Sadly no, but I plan to email Marc soon to find out if he has found it. </p><p>Also, did you guys know the previous versions of the <i>Shadows of the Master</i> cover had the King of Tier on it, but it got a little too crowded. </p>

<p>Question - if we were to get access to that painting of Lief, would we regard it as a canon image even though it was never used in affiliation with the series? Or would we just add it to his article with a "this is Marc's personal rendition" disclaimer? </p>

<p>We'd have to somehow get in touch with Rodda first about it I think. </p>

<p>Seeing as it was never officially published, I wouldn't consider it canon, but think it could be used in the trivia section as Marc's painting that was never used with a description saying that. </p>

It is late and I don’t know if anyone will see this but you’re not crazy I have all the cards! I kept them from when I was in the Deltora quest club from scholastic in the fourth ish grade!! I did get rid of my dragons though and would like to find them again

Woah that's awesome! If you ever get the chance, please scan and share them! It'd be really cool to see the full collection again, as well as the descriptions on the back.

I know this thread is super old, but as far as I'm aware, I have the complete collection of cards at home. I was looking online to see if there were any I didn't have and I found this thread :) Are you guys still interested in scans of the cards? I can't scan them all immediately, but maybe I can get it done in a few weeks when school lessens up. Again, just let me know if you're still interested! They are very precious to me and it would be great to share them with other people who maybe miss that part of their childhood.

Oh yes, @Shon2, we are! There's plenty that we don't have any scans of or really low res ones! Your help would be amazing!

What do you think?
