~ The Division ~ 

The designation of ACEO was created to differentiate between traded artist cards and ones for sale. Purists believe that the people who make ACEOs will stop making artist cards altogether once the market has bottomed out and will go on to the next crafy seller fad.

Nice work, really informative. I am building a set of lenses on making, collecting and selling aceo's. Don't claim to be the world's expert, Yet! But I am collecting the information and adding the best links. I have lensrolled this lens perhaps you could see your way to reciprocate. Thanks, John
