Hello readers, friends, and fellow travelers,

The Emporium madness continues!

As I mentioned in my last blog, I was lucky enough to attend Ana Incardi’s Mini Print Emporium in Portland, Maine this past week. It was an incredible experience, and I came home with so many amazing prints. One question I kept hearing from fellow collectors was, “Are the mystery packs actually worth it?”

So, naturally, I had to find out for myself.

Ana offered three different mystery packs throughout the Emporium: Coastal Maine, Produce, and Classic.

After opening them, I can confidently say that the Coastal Maine and Produce mystery packs absolutely lived up to the hype. The artwork was beautiful, and I was excited by the variety of prints included in each pack.

The Classic mystery pack, however, was a little disappointing. I went into it hoping there would be a few surprise or harder-to-find prints, but instead, it mainly contained catalog or more common prints that were already available in the vending machines. If you’re looking for something unique, I’d probably recommend spending your money on one of the themed packs instead.

Here are the prints I received in my Coastal Maine mystery packs!

Unfortunately, I was a terrible blogger and completely forgot to photograph my Produce and Classic mystery packs before I started sorting everything.

The Produce pack featured many of the new produce-themed prints released for the Emporium, along with a few returning favorites—like the adorable carrot print.

The Classic pack, on the other hand, mostly included prints that collectors have likely seen before, which is why it didn’t quite have the same excitement as the other two packs.

Overall, if you’re trying to decide which mystery pack to purchase, my recommendation would be the Coastal Maine or Produce packs. They felt much more unique and made opening them a lot more fun.

Stay tuned for my next blog, where I’ll share our strategy for tackling the Incardi Emporium scavenger hunt! If you want to keep up with all things travel, nursing, and Flicks with Nick movie reviews, be sure to follow along on Instagram and subscribe to the blog.
