Portland Photographer Creates Stripper Trading Cards

I’ve always been a sucker for collectables. From POGs to comic books, there’s something comforting about filling gaps in your collection and completely ripping off less knowledgeable friends with unfair trades. However, as a I grew up my interest in these things was quickly replaced by an obsession with boobs.

Thanks to the work of a photographer from Portland, Oregon there may now be an intersection of my current and former passions.

According to Jason Savage, his hometown of Portland is famous for a lot more than hipsters and craft beers. The city is also home to a number of well known exotic dancers whom he got to know on a personal level while hanging out at bars and strip clubs. During this time, he came up with the idea to create a series of trading cards that feature some of the city’s most famous strippers- kind of like baseball cards but sexier.

A few years later his idea became a reality and the set of 69 cards are now available for purchase.

The point of creating the trading cards is to humanize the city’s exotic dancers. While most of them are well known for getting naked and dancing on stage, most people may not know them on any kind of personal level.

Described as being more artistic than erotic, the cards don’t feature any nudity. Instead they have the dancers posing in a way that highlights their individual personalities and features their name and a quote on the back.

Savage plans on donating the proceeds from his card sales to a couple of sex-positive charities in Portland as well as one that works to end sexual assault and victim blaming. He also hopes the cards themselves will make a statement about the legitimacy of sex work in the United States and chose models that highlight a wide spectrum of strippers.

The complete set of 69 cards called Stripping Out Loud can be purchased for $21, but that’s kind of ruins the whole “trading” part of collectable cards. Gone is the thrill of buying booster packs and amassing stacks of extremely common cards which are used to scam dumb friends out of single, more rare ones.

Maybe he could make a new set that also includes some kind of playable game with erotic damage cards, traps, and defense spells of varying power and rarity.
