Daniel Huffman\u2019s map projection trading cards are making a comeback<\/a>. \u201cWhile my colleagues and I did our best to let everyone know about these cards, some people inevitably missed out during the first print run. I\u2019ve had many people contact me asking and hoping to get their hands on a pack or two. So, I am bringing them back for one final print run<\/strong> via Kickstarter<\/a>,\u201d writes Huffman. \u201cI hope you\u2019ll share this widely<\/em>, so that we don\u2019t miss anyone this time around, as this is almost certainly the last time these cards will be printed.\u201d<\/p>\n
