January 20, 2005, Runnemede, NJ – Dynamic Forces today released exciting new information concerning their upcoming Dawn Trading card series. This set was originally scheduled for 2004, but DF and Linsner decided to push it into 2005 to pack this 2nd series with even more Dawn goodness -- including hand drawn sketch cards by Joseph Michael Linsner himself!

The first Dawn series from DF (titled “Definitive Dawn Trading Card series”) sold out immediately upon release over 2 years ago! Now, in time for the 15th anniversary, Dynamic Forces brings you Joseph Michael Linsner's Dawn 15th Anniversary Trading Card Series!

Dawn has captured the hearts and minds of fans for the last 15 years, and Linsner continues to bring new and awesome stories to his fans! Dynamic Forces is proud to present the Dawn 15th Anniversary Trading Card series with all cards fully illustrated and painted by the artist and creator himself!

This series will feature some of Joe's best images over the years, but will also showcase at least 9 BRAND NEW IMAGES fully painted by Joseph Michael Linsner created exclusively for the 15th Anniversary Dawn trading card series!
