"gutting #ASAC by itself wld probably not cause a crash in a week, though it wld hv sooner or later.

Broken Toyland ATCs (artist trading cards), 2.5x3.5 (standard trading card size), multimedia on paper. These are fun to collect. Tiny original art pieces to display in a collector card folder for a cool coffee table book of all originals #atc #atcs #originalart #collectorcards #artcards
