Are you kidding?? Do people really try to pass other people's ATCs off as their own? Unbelievable!

Yeah unfortunately a lot of people have ran into some on here :( It's pretty disappointing!

They even try to sell them on Ebay.

How can they SELL an ATC?! Isn't the whole point to trade them? (Sigh.) Sometimes I really don't understand! Well,I've got a whole bunch of ATCs made up already! All my own originals! :)

I must admit I am new to this whole ATC I actually had never even heard of them BEFORE joining swap bot.. but I guess they have been going on for quite some time.. but I would NEVER in my WILDEST dreams try to pass someone elses work as my own. even if i'm creatively run out and tired and dont have any new ideas.. i just sleep on it and new stuff comes to me. now i have taken images and used them but on the back given credit to the illustrator or whoever did the true image I used in an atc IE a painting or picture from a book.

I actually bought my very first atc off of ebay for $4 with shipping, it's a cat with a bird on his head, I just needed to see one in person to see if I could make one for myself, now I have about 400 or more trades.

I guess I am the old woman here of ATCs. I have been trading ATCs for about 6 years and have over 3,000. I have 4 large albums of 9 pockets of assorted cards, one album of just cats, and another of just animals and insects. I had to really cut back on my trading as I am getting way too many of them. They sure are beautiful to look at.

I think I may wallpaper the living room with mine! (Just kidding). But, with so many beautiful cards, I need to find a way to display them better. :)

By the way, I think my name is different on the back of my cards. I've gotten remarried recently and have changed my last name. Everything that I've sent out is my own work. Thanks, Kimberly

Generally when they're sold they're supposed to be called ACEOs--Art Cards Editions and Originals-- rather than ATCs.
