The cost of the manual labour to produce them can be awful too.  I used to do t-shirts for a while - great when you get lots of orders, seriously time-wasting when only selling a few.  Setup and cleanup can take longer than the actual production!

Yes, it is amazing what we keep of the things we've done over the years and things that we don't keep and often wished we had.  Bit like keeping everything we ever did as a child - can be interesting to look back on, but a bit like your secondary school (or even your degree!) qualification - after you've been 'out in industry' for 10 years, not many people really care if you have a bit of paper - you are either good at the job or not!

Scrapper, Black Dragon, progressively culling the horde of all those magazine and newspaper article cutouts that seemed so valuable at the time...

>No, I sold out of those things years ago.  I don't even think I have ANY of the mouse pads left.  I actually stopped making all the "extra" things before 2000, as they were too expensive to produce (calendars, greeting cards, t-shirts, mouse pads, magnets, buttons, key chains, etcetera).

>> Hey Jim, do you have any more of these cutting room floor mouse pads left? i bought one YEARS ago from you at Anthrocon but it's yellowed and gotten faded over time, It actually started yellowing in its bag before I even used it. I decided to use the damn thing and have been for several years now, but its getting old and sad looking.
>> Just wondering if you had any floating around anywhere?
