"Hi guys, just thought I'd share this with you...I know a lot of fans want the Unleashed card back art work in some form. Well, while shopping in Kmart (in Fort Lauderdale, FL), I came across this poster, which is made up of the Unleashed card back art! Attached is a pic of the poster, framed and hanging on my wall (sorry about the angle, but I couldn't keep the flash glare off of it otherwise)!"
