Retsy Series 1 · Card 0070 · 80-DRK
Color outside the lines.
Long plastic freeze pop tubes in eight crayon-box colors, frozen solid in the morning and sticky by noon.
The story · 1986
Arctic Crayons came in a long bag of eight colors, and every kid had a ranking. Blue was the champion, red was fine, and clear was a mystery nobody trusted. Opening the plastic took teeth or scissors, and the first bite always gave you a headache. Your hands stayed sticky until dinner.
Holding the end with a tube sock was the only known cure for frozen fingers.
Six finishes
Arctic Crayons comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
