Beast of Bladenboro Custom Card - Cryptids of the American Wilds North Carolina For Sale

Celebrate a chilling chapter in American folklore with this custom-designed and created Cryptids of the American Wilds ACEO collectible trading card honoring the infamous Beast of Bladenboro.

The front features a bold, atmospheric illustration of the sleek, dark catlike predator stalking out of a shadowy Carolina cypress swamp under the intense glow of a full moon. Its striking yellow eyes and bared claws perfectly capture the terror that gripped rural North Carolina in the winter of 1953.

The back highlights the complete breakdown of the mysterious predator that caused panic around Bladen County in 1953–54. It details its first reported sighting on December 29, 1953, its hunting range across Bladenboro, Clarkton, and Big Swamp, and its most unsettling notable traits: a spine-chilling cry said to sound like a wailing baby and a reputation for crushing its victims.

Designed as a display-focused collectible, this card blends classic 1950s monster-hunt lore with a beautifully eerie woodcut aesthetic for serious cryptid hunters and ACEO collectors.

This is a fan-made custom collectible art card, created for display and collection.
