Throwback: Michael’s Signed Arte Trading Card

Did YOU collect the Arte Trading Card?

Ever since Arte became mayor, we’ve noticed an uproar of Arte fandom, even amongst Webkinz staff!
 
 
Michael Webkinz dug up his Arte Trading Card, signed by Creative Director and voice of Arte, Karl.
 
 

The caption reads, “His adventuring days behind him, Arte now sells collectibles at the Curio Shop.”
 
 
This signed card is part of Michael’s larger Trading Card collection.

    I have all of the Trading Cards collected and I have them in Big Binders. There wasn’t enough room in the little binders to put them, but I do keep spares in there. If I had signed trading cards, though, that would be where I would put them, no doubt. Michael was very lucky to have signed Trading cards by Karl and Kimmy. Did any of the other characters sign the cards? Like Karl’s Wife (Who writes Plumpy’s column in Webkinz Newspapers?) I would love to have a personal collection of signed trading cards! How fortunate to be working in the Same place alongside Karl (Arte) And Karl, you had to know you had a fan following from long ago. Many of us have invested enough time that we are on a personal basis where you tell us what time we can expect a rare to show up in your Curio Shop. You have always been my favorite.

    I will have to pull out my trading card albums to check. I always enjoyed collecting everything webkinz related. I used to always have my eyes peeled everywhere I went, in hopes of seeing plushies or trading card packs for sale. I miss those days. The days of virtual only are just not the same and the new plushes are never available in stores around me, they are also so different now, they lack that true and unique webkinz appeal, they look like every other random stuffed animal now. I don’t really care to own the new ones but if they ever started reproducing the originals, I’d be buying those again.

    I loved those prizes especially the trading card room themes. Back before there were so many items in the good old days. I pretty much just play Next now, but I still enjoy checking out my old rooms.. So many hours spent…

    I love the Webkinz trading cards and I’m so lucky to have a collection of them! I still have a few Series 3 and 4 packs which I open from time to time. It would be so cool to have a signed card
