Atari 7800 trading cards



Marc Oberhäuser, a freelance graphics and videogame designer, has released a set of trading cards based around the official Atari releases for the Atari 7800 console.

They look pretty fantastic. Marc is responsible for the amazing cartridge and box artwork used with the recent homebrew releases from Pacmanplus. A second set is planned that will feature 7800 homebrew releases. Marc is asking $50 for the set, including shipping to Europe and North America.
