Dear Founding Collector,

On behalf of Blue Collar Collectors, we want to personally thank you for choosing to become part of our Founders Edition. We are genuinely honored and grateful that you are willing to share your story, personality, collecting journey, and trust with us.

This project began as a dream between two lifelong friends and collectors who wanted to create something unlike anything else in the hobby—something built by collectors and artists, for collectors and artists.

Blue Collar Collectors: Series One — Working Class Weirdos is about much more than producing another set of trading cards. It is about recognizing the real people, friendships, personalities, inside jokes, occupations, stories, and unforgettable characters that make the collecting community special.

By joining this very first set, your story will help become part of the foundation of Blue Collar Collectors. A talented artist will use the photos and information in your collector packet as inspiration to transform you into an original character that friends and collectors can chase, trade, collect, and proudly share.

Your collector-profile card back is designed to help people learn more about you—what you collect, what you chase, what you are known for, and what makes you unique. We believe these cards can shorten search times, encourage more trading, create new friendships, and bring the community closer together.

We also envision collectors building full “rainbows” of themselves and other featured members of the community. Special redemption cards offering real copper, silver, and gold prizes will add another level of excitement, including precious-metal rewards connected to completed rainbows.

When our complete website is established, the original group of artists, collectors, and contributors who helped launch this dream will be recognized in the Blue Collar Collectors Founders Edition Hall of Fame. Future collectors will be able to look back and see the people who believed in this project before there were boxes on shelves, completed rainbows, redemption winners, or future series.

Every founding participant will also receive a special Founders Edition recognition piece—either a frameable certificate or an exclusive Founders Edition card, depending on the final format we select. It will serve as a lasting reminder that you were here at the beginning and that your willingness to take a chance on us helped bring this unmatched project to life.

We know being featured on a card is a lifelong dream for many collectors. We feel incredibly blessed that you are allowing us to help tell your story, and we promise to treat your contribution with the care and respect it deserves.

Thank you for believing in us before the world has had the opportunity to see everything we see. Thank you for helping two lifelong friends turn a dream into something real. We are proud to welcome you into the Blue Collar Collectors family, and we sincerely hope this is only the beginning of many great memories together.

“Every card has a story. Every collector has one too.”

With our deepest gratitude,
Dale Small & Danny Kindley
