Description:

There is no way around the fact that every one of us that collects ATC's and participates in ATC swaps receives one or two (or more) that just don't suit us. Not our style, not a theme we just LOVE - and I know for me, I have limited space in which to collect and sometimes need to find a good home for some of my ATC's. I like collecting certain themes and while there is nothing wrong with the ATC's I just would rather pass them on to a loving home.

So my friends, collect your orphan ATC's because it's time to give them new homes!

Great idea would be to check your partner's profile and pick a regifted ATC that might suit them better than you, but that is not required.

SWAP RULES

-You'll have 2 partners, and you'll send one orphan ATC to each partner for them to adopt. -Send a note with the ATC telling your partner why they should adopt the ATC, describe it, write a poem about it, think of it as a PSA (public service announcement) to get them to adopt the poor thing! This is just for fun, but it is required.

(If you don't like the ATC you receive, save it for our next Adopt an ATC swap, eventually all of our orphan ATC's will find good, loving homes!)

No recent 1's or 3's - if you have any and there is an explanation, best PM me or I will ban, there's no reason in the world to flake on an easy swap like this.

Newbies? Yes, with a filled out profile - just note that you must have orphan ATC's to join. I know some swap elsewhere, so I will allow those newbies to join.

Thanks :)

good idea, just a disclaimer, don't send an unwanted atc to it's original creator.

druideye 11/17/2009 #

Yes, very good statement to make. Check the backs of the ATC's to make sure they aren't being sent home!

LOL, what a disaster that would be!!!!

I also just wanted to say that these are called art trading cards, so just before this swap was created I was thinking that baseball cards are for trading, people trade them, and since these are trading cards the same would be true, I would not get my feelings hurt if someone traded my card, I would however have hurt feelings if someone just threw it away.

@candyn29 I feel the same way. these are trading cards, and I know personally I would not get my feelings hurt if someone traded my card for something else for whatever reason.
