Our community makes alt-art cards very frequently for leagues and tournaments, and we have a few artists that make some really cool art for them.
My favorite though was probably an alt-art phantom card that someone in our group got. The art on the card was a very nice space background and there was a spot gloss print of a phantom silhouette in front. So you didn't see the cloaked ship until the light reflected off the spot gloss.

Sigh. I guess I missed the poll.
I know I said so in person, but it's a shame the Twilgiht of the Apprentice Rebels Vader was a bit dark. That's a great moment in the seires, and it'd be a great card.
I don't know where it came from but I have a veteran turret gunner with an adorable ewok for the art.

I got that one too, last year at GenCon while playing a nice woman. She even gave my wife a copy of the card. I like that it flips over to Bombardier on the other side, and it's an Ewok glider in flight. I use this card commonly in joke lists.
Where are folks getting fan cards printed??
Or are people printing at home?

Edited by Wiredinwhat is everyones thoughts on people's alt arts that are only available for purchase?
I give mine out, but if someone wants to donate to the cause I won't say no.

I mean, I’m unlikely to pay for them but if two consenting people want to exchange funds for product, who am I to say no?
Now, I would pay for or donate to a fundraiser that happens to provide alt arts. But I probably wouldn’t buy them as a product.

Out. I refuse to put money down for that sort of thing.

Example - Gold Squadron patreon. I'll do this, support the streaming and that. The cards though, I re-donate those to the local tournament pool.

Oooh, there's an idea. Re-print my Sunny art on plastic/spotglass type card. I'm in.

There are some that are must haves for me and I'll gladly pay for (even shipping across the pond.... I'm looking at you, All-Wings). There are some I will pay people for like from Crossroads Classic. Seriously, the schwag at that tournament is worth traveling there for (TAKE MY ENERGY FORCE TOKENS!!!).
However, most of them I'd gladly just trade some schwag of my own for! Or like in Gold Squadron or Fly Better... support a patreon for. Even though I give out most everything I get back and support those two for reasons other than schwag.

I think that's asking for trouble.

I assume that stolen, smuggled, illegal, and sexual products are off your list. . .
the reason I asked about the only sold alt arts are because of places like All Wings, Dreaus, and PLR. I tried not buy any cards in 2.0, but honestly I've bought a few All Wings and those metal cards Kei makes on kickstarter. I bought almost every alt art I could get my hands on in 1.0, but after going to a system open series last year I realized how much trading and giving stuff out for free happens that I just can't buy cards anymore unless it's something super special.
