Our first PictureBinder is complete! In case you missed it, this amazing new piece from Christian Waggoner, depicting Han Solo frozen in Carbonite reflected in Boba Fett's visor, was revealed. The piece will be available from ACME Archives in the near future as both a giclee on canvas and a giclee on paper!

We'd like to congratulate the winner of our PictureBinder competition, "mantunez", who was the first person to guess the image correctly and has won a copy of the piece compliments of ACME Archives. What a prize!

Finally, a huge thank you to ACME Archives for allowing us to debut such an amazing piece.

August 19, 2008 marked the fifth anniversary of The Washington DC Metro Area Star Wars Collecting Club (DCSWCC). Back in the summer of 2003, Mike Kurtz convened 18 local die-hard Star Wars collectors in a library basement. DCSWCC is now one of the largest and most active Star Wars collecting clubs in America, with over 110 members. The club meets monthly and holds special events such as socials and "Roadshow" appraisal events throughout the year. DCSWCC members have attended all major Star Wars events and held prominent volunteer positions at JediCon in West Virginia, Celebration III in Indianapolis, Celebration IV in Los Angeles, Celebration Europe in London, and Celebration Japan in Tokyo.

Throughout the last five years, DCSWCC and its members have contributed significantly to the Star Wars fandom and have supported children of the local communities. Mainly through sales of exclusive Lucasfilm-sanctioned cloisonne lapel pins featuring Yoda, Chewbacca, and Boba Fett, DCSWCC has raised over $14,000 for charities such as DC Children's Hospital, The Children's Inn at NIH, the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children Program, United Mitochondrial Disease Fund, and the 501st's Katie Johnson Fund. In addition, members have donated countless canned goods and toys to local food pantries and Toys for Tots campaigns.
