 I was just thumbing through these weeks "Comics Buyers Guide"
  and imagine my surprise to see a full page ad for Twin Peaks
collectors cards.  The ad says:

This spring, 12 million Twin Peaks viewers will be
searching for these cards.  Want to sell them?  Right
   now, Star Pics is offering dealers a one-time-only chance
  to get in on the action with "Twin Peaks Collectible
CardArt" (tm) sets.  This bizarre, fun, 76-card "tour of
  Twin Peaks" is an offbeat collection of images, excerpts
and never-before-revealed information about the award
winning show.  The set includes Character Profiles, Famous Twin Peaks Images, Quotes, Local Sites and Trivia Cards.  And guess what?  Some sets will contain randomly inserted, autographed cards.

As Agent Cooper might say, this set's "Damn good!" 
To support dealers, Star Pics will run ads in both hobbyand non-hobby publications along with press releases to radio, TV and magazines.  We'll let customers know where they can find their sets.  Dealers will also get plenty of Twin Peaks in-store display material to really pump sales.

Hurry.  This is a limited, numbered edition.  Inventories won't last long.  To order, call (313) 851-PICS.

Above the text of the ad are two cards, one of Agent Cooper and one
of Laura Palmer.  It looks like they used a tree bark design for
backgrounds.  Since the ad is directed to retailers it is unlikely
that individual sales can be transacted with the company, but hopefully this will help generate more interest and viewers.
