Me. Who knows, seeing as they’re “limited edition”, they could be worth something, someday. You never know. Way better to be safe than sorry.

ok, so what are you guys going to do with the stuff once you finally have all of them / the ones you want?

Things aren’t really all that collectable when they are mass produced…

That is not such a bad Idea, I mean If you are going to buy it anyway, sure why not. I don’t think it should be a priority to buy just because of the custom artist though…

I’ve seen these things, it was a few weeks back. They’re not really cards because what you see there is the whole card, it’s not like anything is detachable so you can fit it in say, your wallet or anything.

As someone else said, “If you are going to buy it anyway”.
The biggest thing would be the exclusive bonus material you get from some of the cards. Next time I plan on spending $15 I don’t see why I can’t stop at my nearby target and pick one up just to see the little extra I’ll get from it.

Yeah, if anyone buys any of these be sure to let us know what the exclusives are.

In response to the question about what the exclusives are, if you go to the ‘Give’ website (http://www.apple.com/itunes/give/), there are some little pics of the cards, and it looks like the bonuses are mainly exclusive video interviews, but the Mariah Carey exclusive looks like a remix of some sort.

I can’t imagine these would be worth anything to anyone other that a hardcore fan of each artist.
Though, I highly doubt that these will be actually ‘worth’ anything since as it’s been pointed out, they’re mass produced.
It’s merely a promo tool. Meh.

Baseball cards are mass produced.
So were some LP cover special editions.
Strangest stuff becomes collectibles. Not saying these cards will be but you never know.
