“THE ACE” A CHAMPION IN THE MAKING

How can I encapsulate two legacies in a single piece of art? This question guided my creative journey with Bo. Penn State's wrestling legacy is formidable, and it's no wonder Bo chose to carve his collegiate career there. His dominance in high school seamlessly transitioned into the college arena.

In my creative process, I aimed to imbue depth and complexity into the narrative. The background features three Nittany lion paws breaking through a blue wall, symbolizing Bo's three championship titles at Penn State. Beyond lies another layer, caged and chained, representing Bo's untapped potential. Etched onto the wall are statements and stats familiar to any Bo Nickal fan: "Iron Sharpens Iron," a beloved Bible verse from Proverbs 27:17; "The Bo Show," emblematic of his thrilling performances; "that’s what we do," a recurring mantra throughout his wrestling career; "ROY," signifying Bo's 2023 UFC Rookie of the Year title; and, of course, his remarkable high school and collegiate wrestling records.

The subsequent layers delve into Bo's ongoing journey toward UFC championship glory. One standout detail is the twisted, severed metal chains, with Bo fiercely exerting his strength—a visual metaphor for "Iron Sharpens Iron," as the metal symbolizes his formidable power. Embedded within the tangled metal are the letters spelling "Ace" beside Bo's right arm, a nod to his son. Lastly, to heighten the intensity, a border of barbed wire chains crisscrosses the scene diagonally. Ultimately Bo's pose and expression exude the same fierce intensity as a Nittany lion, embodying his spirit as both a competitor and a fighter.

Flipping to the reverse side of the card, the narrative takes on greater depth. Prominently featured are logos for Immortals, the Special Olympics, and the Bo Nickal Logo, capturing the essence of the collaboration. Accompanying these are the signatures of both the Artist and the Athlete, sealing the partnership in ink. Adding layers to the story are personal quotes from both Bo Nickal and me. Noteworthy among them is Bo's acknowledgment of his wife's remarkable athletic achievements.

THE DROP

 What awaits you is not merely a trading card; it is a complete experience. Every facet of this project has been meticulously crafted with an unwavering commitment to detail.

A portion of all proceeds to benefit Special Olympics of Pennsylvania.

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

THE CHASE | HOW IT WORKS 

Each limited-edition card in this collection comes factory-sealed and is distributed entirely at random. Should you come across rare card variants, they will replace a base card inside the box. Our goal is to offer an equal opportunity to all enthusiasts, whether you're making your first card purchase or you're a seasoned collector. The excitement lies in the prospect of uncovering something extraordinary—perhaps it's the elusive one-of-one card or a emerald galaxy parallel card adorned with an autograph. While every card guarantees proper value and excitement, the possibility of receiving something even more exceptional adds to the thrill. As a longtime card collector myself, I can attest that the anticipation of the unknown is always the most exhilarating part.

It's important to note that all cards are randomized using two methods: name randomization and an even ratio distribution. Our aim is to ensure fairness for everyone collecting. Parallels are distributed evenly based on the ratio of parallels to base cards in the set, ensuring an equal mix. Names are entered into a random name picker to determine the recipients of the parallel cards versus base cards. Without any bias. Furthermore, if you purchase multiple cards, your name is entered into the selection pool corresponding to the quantity of cards purchased. For instance, if you order 10 cards, your name is entered 10 times, increasing your chances of pulling a parallel card. This randomized process allows us to maintain fairness while also enabling us to know who receives what card in the event of lost or damaged packages. It also ensures that we can verify the original recipients and holders of these cards, safeguarding against potential forgeries.
