Series 3, Card 46 - DOGGYPUTIN was created by the infamous DanDarkPill. The card is part of the Putin Series. Each of the five cards are a 1 of 9 and therefore extremely valuable and difficult if not impossible to obtain.
The source image for the card was taken at a press conference Putin's Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borisov which was held in Sofia, Bulgaria on November 13, 2010. The dog - a Bulgarian shepherd was a gift from Borisov to celebrate a joint venture to build and operate the Bulgarian stretch of the South Stream gas pipeline from Russia to southern Europe.

Series 3, Card 47 - RAREPEPESS was created by artist Yoni Terenzi, an Italian living in London.
