Our friends at the Imaginary Foundation have just published a wonderful set of trading cards featuring their favorite big thinkers and sensemakers. The All-Star Pattern Seekers Trading Cards "pay tribute to 23 giants of pattern recognition — pathfinders and ideanauts whose shadows loom large across three millennia of discovery." Included are the likes of Buckminster Fuller, Marshall McLuhan, Marie Curie, James Lovelock, Hubble Telecope, Joseph Campbell, and many others. Click the image above to see them all. The set, in an embossed box, is $18. Also available is a new t-shirt design: "To understand is to perceive patterns." Each shirt includes 7 of the trading cards. Imaginary Foundation
