Old School TSR Card for you to review

[JohnRTroy]

Well, with today being Thanksgiving, I decided to share a scan of something. I posted this to Gygax Games but I figured a lot more people would love to see it, so ENWorld it is.

Last year, after sending an electronic card I found on YouTube to a bunch of my friends, Gary sent me back this card. (He said it was so surreal, he still loved to look at it).

Here were some comments when I asked

I like this card.

Out of curiosity, I think I recognize Tom Wham, Dave Trampier (was he the artist), Rob Kuntz, and Yourself (holding the reigns), but who else is in the card?

Miss ol' Tramp. I hope wherever he is he's doing okay and enjoying the Holiday.

Gary's Response...

No, Tim Kask is holding the reins, and I am looking back over my shoulder with a smile. Joe Orlowski, RIP, is disappearing head down, Jake Jaquet is sitting calmly, and clinging desperately to a runner Dave Sutherland is looking more upset than is Tom Wham is with his fingers in his beard.

Wow. Nostalgic bomb. What year was that card first sent out, any idea?

 

[JohnRTroy]

It was early TSR. Since it says TSR Periodicals I assume it was a Christmas Card sent to Subscribers.

It's hard to see, but I believe I see the Lizard Man Logo version of the TSR logo.

So I assume that this was sent out between 1975 and 1978.

It may have been a Christmas card of some sort, but it was also the back cover of Issue 11 of The Dragon.
