We are registering all securities listed for sale on behalf of selling
shareholders:
(a) 1,500,000 Shares of Common Stock of Selling Shareholders,
(b) 1,730,000 Units consisting of one common share and one "A" Warrant and one
"B" Warrant,
(c) 1,730,000 outstanding shares comprising part of the Units being Registered,
(d) 1,730,000 "A" Warrants,
(e) 1,730,000 "B" Warrants,
(f) 1,730,000 common Shares underlying "A" Warrants at $2.00 per Share,
(g) 1,730,000 common Shares underlying "B" Warrants at $5.00 per Share,
(h) 600,000 common Shares underlying Consultant Warrants at $0.55 per Share,
(i) 60,000 Units underlying Placement Agent Warrants for Units (Units
consisting of 60,000 shares and 60,000 "A" Warrants and 60,000 "B"
Warrants),
(j) 60,000 common Shares underlying Placement Agent Warrants for Units
(consisting of Shares and "A" and "B" Warrants) at $0.55 per Share,
(k) 60,000 "A" Warrants underlying Placement Agent Warrants for Units,
(l) 60,000 "B" Warrants underlying Placement Agent Warrants for Units,
(m) 60,000 Shares underlying "A" Warrants to Placement Agent,
(n) 60,000 Shares underlying "B" Warrants to Placement Agent, and
(o) 150,000 Shares underlying Employee/Consultant Options at $0.55 per Share
(the "Offering") of our Company, Tombstone Cards, Inc., a Colorado
corporation ("Tombstone").
A total of $4,028,500 may be raised by us if all "A" Warrants, Placement Agent
Warrants, Employee Options and Consultant Warrants and Options described above
are exercised. If all of the "B" Warrants are exercised including 60,000 "B"
Warrants underlying Placement Agent Units, we would raise $8,950,000 in addition
to other funds raised on any prior purchases or Warrant exercises. We will NOT
receive any proceeds from sales of Shares, Units or Warrants by Selling
Shareholders. If all of the Warrants and Options are exercised we could raise as
much as $12,978,500. Furthermore, given that we have no operating history and no
revenues, it is highly unlikely that our Warrants will be exercised at $2.00 or
$5.00 in the foreseeable future.
Our Unit (the "Units") consists of one share of our no par value common stock
(the "Common Stock"), and two common stock purchase Warrants (the "Warrants"),
an "A" Warrant and a "B" Warrant. Each "A" Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock at $2.00 during the three-year period
commencing August 31, 2006 and each "B" Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one share at $5.00 during the three year
1
period commencing August 31, 2006. We have the right to call and redeem the
Warrants upon 30 days written notice, at $0.001 per Warrant. Our Common Stock
and Warrants will be separately transferable immediately after the closing of
this offering. There are no transfer limitations on the Units being registered.
We have undertaken to keep the registration statement, of which this Prospectus
is a part, current during the term of the Warrants. (See "Description of
Securities")
Our Selling Security Holders plan to sell Units at $0.75, common Shares at
$0.55, "A" Warrants at $0.10 and "B" Warrants at $0.05, until such time as a
market develops for any of the securities and thereafter at such prices as the
market may dictate from time to time. There is a limited market for the stock
and our pricing is arbitrary with no relation to market value, liquidation
value, earnings or dividends. The price was arbitrarily set at a slight premium
to the previous private placement price of $0.50 per Unit. The Warrant exercise
price was arbitrarily determined based on speculative concept unsupported by any
other comparables. We have set the initial fixed prices as follows:
TITLE PER SECURITY
---------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock $0.55
---------------------------------------------------------
Units $0.75
---------------------------------------------------------
"A" Warrants $0.10
---------------------------------------------------------
"B" Warrants $0.05
---------------------------------------------------------
At any time after a market develops, our security holders may sell their
securities at market prices or at any price in privately negotiated
transactions.
THIS OFFERING INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK; SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON
PAGE 6 TO READ ABOUT FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING SHARES OF THE
COMMON STOCK.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR ANY STATE OR PROVINCIAL SECURITIES
COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE OR PROVINCIAL SECURITIES COMMISSION
PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO
THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
In October 2007, our common stock and Units began trading on the over the
counter bulletin board under the symbol "TMCI" And "TMCIU". During the period of
October 2007 through December 31, 2007, our Shares and Units did not trade.
During the period of January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008, our Shares and
Units had limited trading activity.
We are conducting this offering as a "self-underwriting" through our officers
and directors, and therefore, we will pay no underwriting fees or commissions
1. We are not using an underwriter for this offering of Shares or Shares
underlying Warrants.
2. We have no arrangement to place the proceeds from this offering in an
escrow, trust or similar account. Any funds raised from exercise of
Warrants pursuant to this offering will be immediately available to us
for our use and retained by Tombstone regardless of whether or not
there are any additional sales under this offering.
This offering will be on a delayed or continuous basis for sales of selling
Shareholders Units, Shares, or Warrants and for exercise of Warrants for the
period of the Warrants until expiry or call and exercise.
The Selling Warrantholders are not paying any of the offering expenses and we
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Warrants by the
Selling Warrantholders (See "Description of Securities - Warrants").
The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may
not sell these securities until the date that the registration statement

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY AND RISK FACTORS
OUR COMPANY
Tombstone Cards, Inc. ("We," "Us," "Our") was organized under the laws of the
State of Colorado on April 29, 2005, because our management decided to attempt
to build a business to sell customized, professional-quality playing cards via
the Internet.
We have begun initial minimal operations and have recognized minimal revenues
from such operations. We have four (4) employees at the present time, three are
our executive officers, and one is a non-executive employee, as described on
page 22. Through the period ended June 30, 2006, the executive officers
contributed their services and only recently began to be compensated for their
services.
Prior to December 31, 2007, we were a developmental stage company. During the
year ended December 31, 2007, we began operations and recognized revenues from
sales.
Our Auditors have issued a going concern opinion and the reasons noted for
issuing the opinion are our lack of revenues and modest capital.
Factors that make this offering highly speculative or risky are:
o There is a limited market for our securities;
o We have recognized minimal revenues;
o We are start up company;
o We have minimal experience in the printing business;
o We may be undercapitalized.
Our executive offices are located at 2400 Central Avenue, Suite G, Boulder,
Colorado 80301; the telephone number is (303) 684-6644; and the facsimile number
is (303) 684-0673.

Warrants, Employee Options and Consultant Warrants and Options described above
are exercised. If all of the "B" Warrants are exercised including 60,000 "B"
Warrants underlying Placement Agent Units, we would raise $8,950,000 in addition
to other funds raised on any prior purchases or Warrant exercises. We will NOT
receive any proceeds from sales of Shares, Units or Warrants by Selling
Shareholders. If all of the Warrants and Options are exercised we could raise as

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 Shares of Common Stock. Our current
Shareholders, officers and directors collectively own 3,230,000 Shares of
restricted Common Stock. These Shares were issued at a price of $.01 per Share
for 1,500,000 Shares and $0.50 per Share for 1,730,000 Shares.
Our Common Stock is presently traded on the over-the-counter market on the OTC
Bulletin Board maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
("FINRA"). In October 2007, we began trading on the over the counter bulletin
board under the symbol "TMCI." During the period of October 2007 through
December 31, 2007, our shares have not traded.
In addition to our common stock, in October 2007, we began trading our Units on
the OTC Bulletin Board. A Unit consists of 1 share of our common stock, 1 of our
"A" Warrants and 1 of our "B" Warrants. The Units trade on the over the counter
bulletin board under the symbol "TMCIU". During the period of October 2007
through December 31, 2007, our units have not traded.
OUR COMPANY RISK FACTORS
Our securities, as offered hereby, are highly speculative and should be
purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us.
Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors,
as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before
purchasing any of the Shares of our Common Stock.
OUR BUSINESS IS A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND UNPROVEN AND THEREFORE RISKY.
We have only very recently been organized to perform the operations described
above. Potential investors should be made aware of the risk and difficulties
encountered by a new enterprise in the card business, especially in view of the
intense competition from existing businesses in the industry.
A DECLINE IN POKER POPULARITY OR ACTIVITY MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
If Poker declines in popularity or activity, there is significant risk that the
demand for playing cards, our sole proposed product, will be negatively impacted
resulting in lack of sales revenues, if any are ever developed. This decline
could result from adverse economic conditions, which negatively affect
disposable income, changes in gaming habits, and enforcement activities related
to illegal gambling.
OUR WEAKNESSES MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SELL, COMPETE AND GENERATE REVENUES.
o Because of our position as a startup, we are not a household name among
prospective customers, and the cost to raise us to "top-of-mind" awareness
will be higher than for an established company.
o Documented processes and procedures, along with the integrated technology
deployment, are still in the development stage and an unforeseen delay or
loss of key personnel could cause delays in our continued operations.
Any of these could cause our revenue model to be unprofitable and cause failure
of our business.
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL THREATS TO OUR BUSINESS MODEL.
o The fast-growing interest in poker could be a fad that burns out quickly,
leaving a smaller core than expected.
o A significant downturn in the American economy would reduce the amount of
disposable income available to our target audience.
o Other competitors could move quickly to match our performance by offering
similar products and design amenities, forcing us to invest more than
expected in product development.
o Too much success too quickly could overwhelm our systems, creating order
and fulfillment problems including the increased possibility of poor work
slipping through to the marketplace, resulting in high levels of customer
dissatisfaction.
Any of these could cause our revenue model to be unprofitable and cause failure
of our business.
WE MAY HAVE A SHORTAGE OF WORKING CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE WHICH COULD JEOPARDIZE
OUR ABILITY TO CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
Our capital needs consist primarily of rent, insurance, utilities, marketing
expenses, wages, taxes, etc. and could exceed $1,000,000 in the next twelve
months. Such funds are not currently committed, and we have cash as of the date
of this Registration Statement of approximately $233,000.
6
Given that we have a short operating history and minimal revenues, it is highly
unlikely that the Warrants will be exercised at $2.00 and $5.00 in the
foreseeable future, which makes it highly unlikely that we will raise that
additional working capital from this Registration.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHICH MAY NOT BE
RESOLVED FAVORABLY TO US.
Certain conflicts of interest may exist between us and our officers and
directors. Our Officers and Directors have other business interests to which
they devote their attention and may be expected to continue to do so although
management time should be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of
interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment
as is consistent with fiduciary duties to us. See "Directors, Executive
Officers, Promoters and Control Persons" (page 21), and "Conflicts of Interest".
(page 22)
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO COMMITMENTS, AND THIS MAY
JEOPARDIZE EXECUTION OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
We have limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to carryout the
business plan. Our ultimate success depends upon our ability to raise additional
capital. We have not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might
govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until it
determines a need for additional financing. If we need additional capital, we
have no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available,
that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If not available, our
operations will be limited to those that can be financed with our modest
capital.
OUR WARRANTHOLDERS AND OPTIONHOLDERS MAY NOT EXERCISE THEIR PURCHASE RIGHTS.
It is very unlikely that any security holder would exercise either our Warrants
or the Options.
WE HAVE NOT SET UP AN ESCROW TO RECEIVE PROCEEDS OF WARRANT OR OPTION EXERCISE.
We do not have any escrow provisions, and we do not have any intention of
returning any sale proceeds to investors if the maximum amount is not raised
from sale of any of our shares.
WE HAVE A MINIMAL OPERATING HISTORY, SO INVESTORS HAVE NO WAY TO GAUGE OUR LONG
TERM PERFORMANCE.
We were formed on April 29, 2005 based on a concept to sell customized,
professional-quality playing cards via the Internet. As evidenced by the
financial reports we have had minimal revenue. It must be regarded as a new or
development venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and
difficulties to which such ventures are subject. The venture must be considered
highly speculative.
WE CAN MAKE NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS OR PROFITABILITY IN THE FUTURE.
There is no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. There is no
assurance that we will generate revenues or profits in the future, or that the
market price of our Common Stock will be increased thereby.
WE WILL DEPEND UPON MANAGEMENT BUT WE WILL HAVE LIMITED PARTICIPATION OF
MANAGEMENT.
We currently have three individuals who are serving as our officers and
directors for up to 50 hours per week each on a part-time basis. Our directors
are also acting as our officers. We will be heavily dependent upon their skills,
talents, and abilities, as well as several consultants to us, to implement our
business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the
officers, directors and consultants to devote their full-time attention to our
business results in a delay in progress toward implementing our business plan.
See "Management." Because investors will not be able to manage our business,
they should critically assess the information concerning our officers and
directors.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE NOT EMPLOYED FULL-TIME BY US WHICH COULD BE
DETRIMENTAL TO THE BUSINESS.
Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities,
officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities
engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts
including time and efforts involved in participation with such other business
entities. Each officer and director of our business is engaged in business
7
activities outside of our business, and the amount of time they devote as
Officers and Directors to our business will be up to 50 hours per week. (See
"Executive Team")
We do not know of any reason other than outside business interests that would
prevent them from devoting full-time to our Company, when the business may
demand such full-time.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS TO CORPORATE
OPPORTUNITIES WHICH OUR COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE OR ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN.
Presently no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or
minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us
business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors
do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any
business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an
officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be
opportunities which the person leans about through his involvement as an officer
and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or
acquiring an affiliate, associate person or business opportunity from any
affiliate or any client of any such person. (See "Conflicts of Interest" at page
22)
WE HAVE AGREED TO INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AS IS PROVIDED BY
COLORADO STATUTE.
Colorado Revised Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors,
officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's
fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become
a party arising from their association with or activities our behalf. We will
also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers,
employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us therefore if it is
ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to
indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial
expenditures by us that we will be unable to recoup.
OUR DIRECTOR'S LIABILITY TO US AND SHAREHOLDERS IS LIMITED
Colorado Revised Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain
specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of
action against our directors that otherwise would be the case. This provision
does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state
securities laws.
WE MAY DEPEND UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS, WHO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON REASONABLE
TERMS AND AS NEEDED.
To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be
required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or
other consultants or advisors. Our Board without any input from stockholders
will make the selection of any such advisors. Furthermore, it is anticipated
that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing
fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event we consider it necessary to
hire outside advisors, we may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they
are able to provide the required services.
WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITORS WHO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE OVER US IN RESOURCES AND
MARKETING.
We will be in competition with other products developed and marketed by much
larger corporations, which are better capitalized and have far greater marketing
capabilities than us. We expect to be at a disadvantage when competing with many
firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and
capabilities than we do now.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR STOCK
THE REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS BY SEC AND FINRA MAY DISCOURAGE THE TRADABILITY
OF OUR SECURITIES.
We are a "penny stock" company. Our securities currently trade on the Over-the
Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "TMCI". Our Units trade on the Over-the
Counter Bulletin Board under symbol "TMCIU". There is a limited public market
for our Common Stock and Units. Our Securities will be subject to a Securities
and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements
upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase
"accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in
excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000
or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a
spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
8
and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the
sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in
penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in
this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop
therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock
transactions.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of
rules to regulate "penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2,
15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within
the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The
rules will further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell our securities
in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional
regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange
Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from
patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for
the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the
promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of
purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room"
practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price
projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed
bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after
prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our
management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny
stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the
behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market,
management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
WE WILL PAY NO FORESEEABLE DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE.
We have not paid dividends on our Common Stock and do not ever anticipate paying
such dividends in the foreseeable future.
LOSS OF CONTROL BY OUR PRESENT MANAGEMENT AND STOCKHOLDERS MAY OCCUR UPON
ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES.
We may issue further Shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services
out of our authorized but unissued Common Stock that would, upon issuance,
represent a majority of our voting power and equity. The result of such an
issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control us, and
persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence
would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of us by our current
Shareholders.
A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET EXISTS FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, UNITS OR WARRANTS AT THIS
TIME.
Our Common Stock trades on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol
"TMCI". Our Units trade on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board under symbol
"TMCIU". There is a limited public market for our Common Stock and Units, and no
assurance can be given that this market will continue to develop or that a
Shareholder ever will be able to liquidate their investment without considerable
delay, if at all. If the market continues to develop, the price may be highly
volatile. Factors such as those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section may have
a significant impact upon the market price of the securities offered hereby. Due
to the low price of our securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to
effect transactions in our securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker
willing to effect a transaction in our securities, the combination of brokerage
commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may
exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the
use of such securities as collateral for any loans.
RULE 144 SALES IN THE FUTURE MAY HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON OUR STOCK PRICE.
All of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock held by our present officers,
directors, and affiliate stockholders are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted
Shares, these Shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration
statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions
from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state
securities laws. We are registering all of our outstanding Shares so officers,
directors and affiliates will be able to sell their Shares if this
Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective. Rule
144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six
months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage
transactions, a number of Shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a
company's outstanding Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during
the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. A sale under Rule 144 or under any
other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent
9
registration of Shares of Common Stock of present stockholders, may have a
depressive effect upon the price of the Common Stock in any market that may
develop.
FUTURE DILUTION MAY OCCUR DUE TO ISSUANCES OF SHARES FOR VARIOUS CONSIDERATION
IN THE FUTURE.
There may be substantial dilution to our Shareholders purchasing in this
Offering as a result of future decisions of the Board to issue Shares without
Shareholder approval for cash, services, acquisitions, or pursuant to our
Employee/Consultant Stock Option Plan for which one million Shares have been
reserved but are not issued. Award/Earnings/Vesting criteria under the Plan have
not been set, however the price per Share for exercise will be no less than
$0.55 per Share. 450,000 Options are currently outstanding under the Plan.
OUR STOCK, UNITS OR WARRANTS WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE THINLY TRADED AND AS A
RESULT YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR ASK PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO
LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.
The Shares of our Common Stock and Units are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common
Shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or
non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including
the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock
analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment
community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to
the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be
reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or
recommend the purchase of any of our Securities until such time as we became
more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days
or more when trading activity in our Securities is minimal or non-existent, as
compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading
activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect
on Securities price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more
active public trading market for our common Securities will develop or be
sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these
conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell
their Shares or Units at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or
otherwise desire to liquidate their Securities of our Company.
OUR COMMON STOCK, UNITS AND WARRANTS MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY
INCREASES THE RISK THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SECURITIES AT OR ABOVE
THE PRICE THAT YOU MAY PAY FOR THE SECURITY.
Because of the limited developing trading market for our Common Stock and Units,
and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your
Units or Warrants or Shares of Common Stock when you desire to do so. The
inability to sell your Securities in a rapidly declining market may
substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because
the price for our Securities may suffer greater declines because of our price
volatility.
The price of our Common Stock that will prevail in the market after this
offering may be higher or lower than the price you may pay. Certain factors,
some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our Share price to
fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to the following:
o Variations in our quarterly operating results;
o Loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant transactions;
o Additions or departures of key personnel; and
o Fluctuations in stock market price and volume.
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the
over-the-counter markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These
market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price,
regardless of our operating performance. In the past, class action litigation
often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the
market price of those companies Common Stock. If we become involved in this type
of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion
of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative
effect on your investment in our stock.
MANY OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL IN THE FUTURE BE AVAILABLE FOR RESALE.
ANY SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK, IF IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS, ARE LIKELY TO DEPRESS
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR SECURITIES.
Assuming all of the Shares of common stock we are offering under this
Registration Statement including Shares underlying Warrants are sold and all of
the Shares of common stock issued and issuable to the selling security holders
10
are sold, we would have 7,920,000 Shares that are freely tradable without the
requirement of registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Even our officers
and directors are registering their Shares totaling 1,125,000.
Unrestricted sales of 3,230,000 Shares of stock by our selling stockholders
could have a huge negative impact on our Share price, and the market for our
Securities including Units, Shares and Warrants.
OUR NEW INVESTORS WILL SUFFER A DISPROPORTIONATE RISK AND THERE WILL BE
IMMEDIATE DILUTION OF PURCHASERS' INVESTMENTS.
Our present Shareholders have acquired their Securities at a cost significantly
less than that which the investors purchasing pursuant to Warrants will pay for
their stock holdings or at which future purchasers in the market may pay.
Therefore, new investors will bear most of the risk of loss. Further, assuming
all of the Shares offered hereby are sold, of which there can be no assurance,
an investment in our Common Stock by the purchaser will result in an immediate
dilution (in excess of 90%) of the net tangible book value of the Common Stock
from the offering price which the purchasers will have paid for their Shares.
OUR BUSINESS IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND THE INVESTMENT IS THEREFORE RISKY.
Due to the speculative nature of our business, it is possible that the
investment in the Units, Warrants and Shares offered hereby will result in a
total loss to the investor. Investors should be able to financially bear the
loss of their entire investment. Investment should, therefore, be limited to
that portion of discretionary funds not needed for normal living purposes or for
reserves for disability and retirement.
OUR PUBLIC INVESTORS MAY BEAR MOST OF THE BURDEN IF THE WARRANTS ARE EXERCISED.
The financial risk of our proposed activities will be borne primarily by the
public investors, who, upon purchase of the Warrant Shares in this offering,
will have contributed the largest portion of our capital.
OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE SHAREHOLDERS WILL SUFFER DILUTION BY SALE OF THIS
OFFERING AND BY NEW ISSUANCES IN THE FUTURE WHICH MAY OCCUR.
Upon the sales of Shares, there may be substantial dilution to our Security
holders. The exercise price of our Warrants $0.55, $0.60, $2.00 and $5.00 is
substantially higher than the pro forma current net tangible book value per
Share of our outstanding Common Stock. The net tangible book value attributable
to our Shares as of December 31, 2007 was $0.114 per Share. Net tangible book
value per Share of Common Stock is determined by dividing the number of
outstanding Shares of Common Stock into the net tangible book value attributable
to our Common Stock, which is our total tangible assets less our total
liabilities. After giving effect to possible sale of all of our Shares
registered herein, and after deducting the offering expenses payable, the
adjusted net tangible book value attributable to our Common Stock will increase.
This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per Share to
the holders of our existing Common Stock and an immediate dilution per Share to
Shareholders purchasing Shares of stock at the exercise price of $0.55 per share
for certain Options or $0.60 per Unit for certain Warrants and an even greater
dilution for Warrant holders who might purchase @ $2.00 or $5.00 per Share. See
"Dilution" hereinafter on page 15.

POSSIBLE DEPRESSIVE EFFECT OF FUTURE SALES OF SHARES ISSUED PURSUANT TO WARRANT
EXERCISE.
The Shares and Warrants included in the Units are being registered in this
Offering. These Warrants cannot be exercised and the underlying shares of Common
Stock issued unless a current registration statement is in effect. (See
"Description of Securities - Selling Warrantholders"). In the event all of the
"A" and "B" Warrants are eventually exercised, the resulting 3,580,000 shares
would be free trading and could be sold into the secondary market. Such sales
would most likely have a depressive effect on the price of the Common Stock in
any over-the-counter market that may develop, since the large supply of shares
available in the market would most likely reduce the price purchasers need to
pay for the stock. The exercise of the Warrants would also reduce the percentage
of our Common Stock owned by the investors in this offering.
ARBITRARY OFFERING PRICE.
The offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the Warrants have been
determined arbitrarily by us with no established criteria of value. There is no
direct relationship between these prices and our assets, book value, lack of
earnings, shareholder's equity, or any other recognized standard of value of our
business.
FUTURE DILUTION.
The Units offered hereby contain Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.
Upon exercise of any of the Warrants, holder of Common Stock will suffer
dilution of their interest in us unless they in turn exercise Warrants which
they hold, if any. In addition, Warrants will be exercisable. (See "Description
of Securities").
NO ASSURANCE OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR ANY OUR SECURITIES.
There is presently a limited market for any of our securities and there can be
no assurance a larger market will develop or that purchasers will be able to
resell their Units, Common Stock or Warrants a the public offering price or
without delay. No one is obligated to create or make a market in the Units,
Common Stock or Warrants upon completion of this offering. Should a market for
our Securities develop there is no assurance that such a market will continue.
In addition, due to the low price of these Securities many brokerage firms may
not effect transactions in the Units, Common Stock or Warrants and banks may not
accept them as collateral for loans.
SALE OF WARRANTS.
There is no commitment by anyone to purchase or to sell our Warrants. The
holders of the Warrants intend to sell such Warrants. When and if the holders of
such Warrants, elect to sell the Warrants or, after the underlying shares are
registered, to exercise the Warrants, the sale of the Underlying Shares in
market transactions could be expected to have a depressive effect on the market
for any of our Securities and therefore likely would have a disruptive effect on
any orderly market, if any develops, for our Securities.
Such disruption, were it to occur, would harm our then existing shareholders and
Warrantholders since it would predictably result in a decline in the market
value of all outstanding Securities. Further, sales of Securities by our
insiders is often perceived in a negative light by prospective purchasers of a
company's securities since it connotes a lack of confidence in the company's
prospects and a desire of insiders to personally profit.
INVESTORS MAY BE UNABLE TO EXERCISE WARRANTS.
For the life of the Warrants, we will attempt to maintain a current registration
statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the
Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. If we are unable
to maintain a current registration statement on file, the Warrantholders will be
unable to exercise the Warrants and the Warrants may become valueless. Although
the Units offered hereby will not knowingly be sold in any jurisdiction in which
they are not registered or otherwise qualified, purchasers of the Units may
relocate into a jurisdiction in which the securities underlying the Warrants are
not so registered or qualified. In addition, purchasers of the Warrants in the
open market may reside in a jurisdiction in which the Securities underlying the
Warrants are not the qualification of the Securities underlying the Warrants for
sale in all of the states in which the Warrantholders reside, the Warrantholders
in those states may have no choice but to either sell their Warrants or permit
them to expire. We intend to maintain our registration statement in the states
where the securities were initially qualified for sale. Prospective investors
and other interested persons who wish to know whether or not our Common Stock
may be issued upon the exercise of Warrants by Warrantholders in a particular
state should consult the securities commission of the state in question. (See
"Description of Securities")
12
MULTIPLE TYPES OF SECURITIES TRADING MAY CAUSE CONFUSION TO INVESTORS.
We will have four increments of Securities trading under this Registration
Statement which may cause confusion to investors resulting in volatile or
inconsistent prices in the market, if any develops, for each of the types of
Securities. The increments are Units, Shares, "A" Warrants and "B" Warrants.
USE OF PROCEEDS
In the event purchasers in this offering elect to exercise any of the Warrants
at the exercise prices set forth in this Prospectus, we will realize net
proceeds. The proceeds from the exercise of Warrants will be contributed to our
working capital and used to build our business. (See "Proposed Business - Plan
of Operation")
If Warrants are exercised we will receive proceeds upon exercise, from exercise
price of the securities underlying Warrants $36,000 from the sale of 60,000
Units underlying Placement Agent Warrants at $0.60 per Unit, $82,500 from sale
of Shares underlying Options @ $0.55 per Share to Employee, $330,000 from sale
of Shares to a Consultant underlying Warrants at $0.55 per Share, $3,580,000
from the sale of 1,790,000 Shares underlying "A" Warrants at $2.00 per Share,
and $8,950,000 from the sale of 1,790,000 Shares underlying "B" Warrants at
$5.00 per Share. We have no intention of returning any stock sale proceeds to
investors if the maximum amount is not raised, and we will use the proceeds as
soon as we receive them.
Although we reserve the right to reallocate the funds according to changing
events, we believe the net proceeds from this Offering and projected cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to fund our initial capital requirements for
a period of twelve months. The foregoing assumes the Offering will be fully
subscribed, but there can be no assurance we will not require additional funds
for operations. The availability and terms of any future financing will depend
on market and other conditions out of our control. The amount of proceeds and
uses are based upon our projections, which may also change according to
unforeseen future events and market changes.

============================= ==========================
We anticipate using the funds raised by this Offering to pay listed categories
as shown in Tables below. Although we have identified specific applications for
the funds anticipated to be generated by this Offering and we will apply the net
proceeds of this Offering to general corporate funds. Management will have
complete discretionary control over the actual utilization of said funds and
there can be no assurance as to the manner or time in which said funds will be
utilized. We have set budget categories as shown in the Tables II and III and
will prioritize as shown in such tables by the categories under each respective
percentage. If less than all Securities offered by us are sold, we will reduce
the allocation of funds raised to the categories as shown in Tables II and III,
but without setting any priority of usage at this time.
We make no assurance that we will raise the full $12,978,500 as anticipated. The
following Tables II and III show the break down of how management intends to use
the proceeds if only 25 percent, 50 percent, or 75 percent of the total offering
amount of the "A" Warrant Shares (Table I) and "B" Warrant Shares (Table II),
respectively, is raised:

IF ONLY 25% OF THE MAXIMUM SHARES UNDERLYING "A" AND "OTHER" WARRANTS ARE SOLD,
we will continue with development plan We will continue to fund for marketing
and promotions that will be restricted to public relations, spot buys in
magazines and selected web sites, and promotions designed to produce
"word-of-mouth" referrals. The goal of this limited marketing mix is to drive
traffic to the web site in order to generate sales. We will continue to pursue
the development, marketing and licensing of our proprietary OIEPrint(TM)
software, a web to print template driven application. We will fund our day to
day operations. Office space will be leased and furniture will be purchased or
leased in the substantial resale or "second-hand" market. Management will take
responsibility for monthly bookkeeping and quarterly in-house interim financial
statements for the accountant's review. We anticipate that approximately
$1,000,000 along with the expectation of limited revenue from modest sales will
be sufficient to sustain operations during the short-term. However, there would
be insufficient funds available for furtherance of the plan of operations as
detailed later in this prospectus under the heading "PLAN OF OPERATION."
If less than $1,000,000 were made available, we will restrict expenditures to a
minimum budget based on priorities determined by the officers and directors. The
renting of office space, additional hiring and certain equipment purchases will
be deferred. We will cover ongoing legal and accounting costs. Public relations,
marketing and web site maintenance will use the remainder of the funds. The
minimal amount of inventory will be maintained.
IN THE EVENT THAT ONLY 50% OF THE MAXIMUM SHARES UNDERLYING "A" AND "OTHER"
WARRANTS ARE RAISED (APPROXIMATELY $2,000,000), we will be able to further the
plan of operation; however, our activities will continue to be restricted. In
order to increase brand awareness and promote a corresponding increase in sales,
we will continue to place importance on marketing and driving potential
customers to the web site. The web site itself will be modified in response to a
review of hits, retention and conversion rate of visitors to customers. The
marketing mix will continue to be expanded, incorporating more spot buys in
special interest magazines and internet banner marketing on carefully targeted
associated sites. An increased level of inventory would be anticipated based on
response to initial sales, lead times for printing and bulk discounts.
14
IF 75% OF THE MAXIMUM SHARES UNDERLYING "A" AND "OTHER" WARRANTS ARE RAISED
(APPROXIMATELY $3,000,000), there will be sufficient funds to pay a significant
portion of all budgeted expenditure items with a continuing increase in
marketing and web site development.
The monies we have raised thus far from selling stock to our current
Shareholders is anticipated to be sufficient to pay all expenses of this
offering, which is estimated to be $100,000. The total amount of the money
raised from the sale of the Shares underlying Warrants we are offering will be
used for the purpose of furthering our plan of operation, as detailed under the
heading "PLAN OF OPERATION" below.
The registration of our Warrants is intended to and will permit our
Warrantholders to potentially capitalize, at a profit, on any rise in the market
price of our Warrants and the Common Shares. In the event that the Warrants are
sold by the Selling Warrantholders, we will receive none of the proceeds
therefrom. In addition, we are paying all the costs in connection with the
registration of such Warrants. The Selling Shareholders will be selling Warrants
and no commission will be paid by us in connection with such sales.
The monies we have raised thus far from selling stock to our current
Shareholders is anticipated to be sufficient to pay all expenses of this
offering, which is estimated to be $100,000. The total amount of the money
raised from the sale of the Shares underlying Warrants we are offering will be
used for the purpose of furthering our plan of operation, as detailed under the
heading "PLAN OF OPERATION" below.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Our Common Stock trades on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol
"TMCI". Our Units trade on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board under symbol
"TMCIU".
Our Selling Security Holders plan to sell Units at $0.75, common Shares at
$0.55, "A" Warrants at $0.10 and "B" Warrants at $0.05, until such time as a
market develops for any of the securities and thereafter at such prices as the
market may dictate from time to time. There is no history of a market price for
the stock and our pricing is arbitrary with no relation to market value,
liquidation value, earnings or dividends. The price was arbitrarily set at a
slight premium to the previous private placement price of $0.50 per Unit. The
Warrant exercise price was arbitrarily determined based on speculative concept
unsupported by any other comparables.
TITLE PER SECURITY
---------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock $0.55
---------------------------------------------------------
Units $0.75
---------------------------------------------------------
"A" Warrants $0.10
---------------------------------------------------------
"B" Warrants $0.05
---------------------------------------------------------
We have arbitrarily determined our offering price for Units and Warrants and for
the Shares underlying Warrants to be sold pursuant to this offering at $0.55 and
$.75 for Units $.10 for "A" Warrants, $.05 for "B" Warrants, and at $2.00 per
Share for "A" Warrants and $5.00 per Share for "B" Warrants. The 1,500,000
Shares of stock already purchased by officers and directors and other founding
Shareholders were sold for $.01 per Share. We previously sold 1,730,000 Units to
investors at $0.50 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one Share and one "A"
Warrant and one "B" Warrant in 2006. The additional major factors that were
included in determining the initial sales price to our founders and private
investors were the lack of liquidity since there is no present market for our
stock and the high level of risk considering our lack of operating history.
The Warrant exercise prices bear no relationship to any criteria of goodwill
value, lock value, market price or any other measure of value and were
arbitrarily determined in the judgment of the Board of Directors.
DILUTION
We are registering Shares of existing Shareholders and Units purchased by
investors, "A" Warrants and "B" Warrants and Shares of Common Stock comprising
part of Units and Common Stock underlying Warrants for sale through this
offering. Since our inception on April 29, 2005, our officers, directors
purchased 1,025,000 shares @ $0.01 per share and other Shareholders have
purchased Shares of our Common Stock for $.01 per Share for 500,000 Shares in
2005 (this number includes William Reilly who purchased 25,000 shares in April
2005, and who in 2006 became an Officer and a Director). In 2006 Shareholders
purchased 1,730,000 Shares as part of Units offered for $0.50 per Unit and
Garden State Securities received, as compensation, a Warrant to purchase 60,000
15
Units each Unit consisting of one Share and one "A" and one "B" Warrant which
Units, Shares and Warrants and Shares Underlying the Warrants, we are including
in this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement.
COMPARATIVE DATA
The following table sets forth with respect to existing Shareholders and new
investors, a comparison of the number of our Shares of Common Stock purchased
the percentage ownership of such Shares, the total consideration paid, the
percentage of total consideration paid and the average price per Share. All
percentages are computed based upon cumulative Shares and consideration assuming
sale of all Shares in the line items as compared to maximum in each previous
subsection.

"Net tangible book value" is the amount that results from subtracting the total
liabilities and intangible assets from the total assets of an entity. Dilution
occurs because we determined the offering price based on factors other than
those used in computing book value of our stock. Dilution exists because the
book value of Shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the offering
price offered to new investors.
(1) 1,790,000 Shares were purchased as part of Units.
(2) Percentage relates to total percentage of shares sold up to such increment.
(3) Percentage relates to total percentage of capital raised up to such
increment.

(1) Computation of Net Tangible Book Value per Share prior to stock sale
includes the deduction of offering costs of $100,000 and proceeds of
private placement in July/August 2006
(2) Computation of Net Tangible Book Value per Share prior to stock sale
assumes proceeds from the exercise of the following warrants: 600,000 @
$0.55; 150,000 @ $0.55; 60,000 @ $0.60 (Units underlying the "Other
Placement Agent" Warrants)
As at December 31, 2007, the net tangible book value of our stock was $0.114 per
Share. If we are successful in achieving exercise of the Shares underlying
Warrants at the exercise price, the pro forma net tangible book value of our
stock after deducting the offering costs of $100,000 would be as shown in chart
above. That would represent an immediate increase in net tangible book value per
Share and per Share dilution to new investors as shown in chart above, assuming
the Shares are sold at the exercise price of $0.55 for 750,000 Shares and $0.60
for 60,000 Shares and $2.00 per Share for 1,790,000 Shares and $5.00 per Share
for 1,790,000 Shares. Our existing stockholders have purchased a total of
3,230,000 Shares for an aggregate amount of $816,305 or an average cost of $0.25
per Share. The book value of the stock held by our existing stockholders will
increase per Share, while new purchaser's book value will decrease from purchase
price, as shown in chart above.
If all Warrants are fully exercised, the new total capital contributed will be
$12,978,500. The percentage of our capital contribution will then be 6% for the
existing stockholders and 94% for the new purchasers. The existing stockholders
will then hold, as a percentage, 41% of our issued and outstanding Shares, while
the new purchasers will hold, as a percentage, 59%.
For the life of the Warrants, the holders thereof are given, at a nominal cost,
the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our Common Stock.
The exercise of the Warrants by the holders thereof could result in a further
dilution of the book value of our Common Stock. Furthermore, the holders of the
Warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all
likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of Securities
on terms more favorable than those provided for by the Warrants.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The selling Shareholders, excluding officers and directors, obtained their
Shares of our Stock in either of two private placements of a) 1,730,000 Units
occurring in June, July, August 2006, which consisted of one Share, one "A"
Warrant and one "B" Warrant at $0.50 per share, or b) in the initial private
placement in late 2005 of 500,000 shares (excluding founders, John Harris and
Neil Cox) at $0.01 per share.
Other than the two stock transactions discussed below, we have not entered into
any transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any founder,
director, executive officer, significant Shareholder of our company or any
member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a
direct or indirect material interest.
17
On July 6, 2005, we sold 500,000 Shares of our Common Stock to our
CFO/Secretary/Treasurer (Neil A. Cox) for $5,000, or $.01 per Share. Our Common
Stock had no quoted market value on the date of the transaction. Mr. Cox would
be considered a promoter.
On July 14, 2005, we sold 500,000 Shares of our Common Stock to our President
(John N. Harris) for $5,000, or $.01 per Share. Our Common Stock had no quoted
market value on the date of the transaction. Mr. Harris would be considered a
promoter.
William Reilly became an Officer (COO and CTO) and a Director in early 2006. Mr.
Reilly was previously a shareholder having purchased 25,000 shares @ $0.01 in
April 2005. Mr. Reilly also has 100,000 Employee options exercisable to purchase
shares at $0.55. We sold 500,000 Shares to other Shareholders in 2005 at $.01
per share.
We have engaged as a consultant Capital Merchant Banc under an Agreement which
provides for the vesting of 600,000 Warrants to purchase Shares at $0.55 per
Share based upon performing consulting services for which it is paid $3,000 per
month. When vested, Capital Merchant Banc could acquire an amount of Shares
equal to 15.66% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock prior to exercise of
any Warrants. These Warrants expire August 31, 2009 with an Option to acquire a
new two year Warrant at $0.55 for 600,000 if the stock price has not closed at
$0.50 for 30 days.
The President, CFO and COO/CTO contributed their management services to our
business until June 30, 2006, and were not paid until August 2006. The President
and CFO were paid for July 2006 and August 2006 at the rate of $3,000 per month.
The COO/CTO was paid for July 2006 and August 2006 at the rate of $3,500 per
month. The President and CFO were paid a bonus also of $3,000 for deferring
salaries until August 2006 and the COO/CTO (William Reilly) was paid a bonus of
$3,500 for deferring salaries until August 2006.
No person who may, in the future, be considered a promoter of this offering,
will receive or expect to receive assets, services or other considerations from
us except those persons who are our salaried employees or directors. No assets
will be, nor expected to be, acquired from any promoter on behalf of us. We have
not entered into any agreements that require disclosure to the Shareholders.
All of the Securities listed below are being registered in this Registration
Statement, which include all of the securities outstanding as of date hereof.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Upon effectiveness of this Amendment No. 1 to this registration statement, of
which this prospectus is a part, we will conduct the sale of Shares pursuant to
exercise of Warrants on a self-underwritten basis. Our selling Shareholders,
Unitholders and Warrantholders are free to sell their Securities in private
transactions at $0.75 per Unit, $0.55 per Share, $0.10 per "A" Warrant, $0.05
per "B" Warrant or market sales if a market ever develops hereafter at prices
they negotiate or in private transactions. There will be no underwriters used,
no dealers' commissions paid on Warrant exercise, and no passive market making.
Our officers and directors, John N. Harris, Neil A. Cox and William H. Reilly,
will sell securities on our behalf in this offering. John N. Harris, Neil A. Cox
and William H. Reilly are not subject to a statutory disqualification as such
term is defined in Section (a)(39) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They
will rely on Rule 3a4-1 to sell our securities without registering as
broker-dealers. They are serving as our officers and directors otherwise than in
connection with transactions in securities and will continue to do so at the
conclusion of this offering. They have not been a broker or dealer, or an
associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months, and
have not nor will not participate in the sale of securities for any issuer more
than once every twelve months. Our officers and directors will not receive
commissions or other remuneration in connection with their participation in this
offering based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities. We
will only use this prospectus in connection with this offering and no other
sales materials.
20
There is a limited market for the securities at this time and our pricing is
arbitrary with no relation to market value, liquidation value, earnings or
dividends.We are registering our securities at the following prices:
TITLE PER SECURITY
---------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock $0.55
---------------------------------------------------------
Units $0.75
---------------------------------------------------------
"A" Warrants $0.10
---------------------------------------------------------
"B" Warrants $0.05
---------------------------------------------------------
At any time after a market develops, our security holders may sell their
securities at market prices or at any price in privately negotiated
transactions.
The prices were arbitrarily set based upon a slight premium to the previous
private placement price of $0.50 per Unit and the components of the Unit. The
Warrant exercise price was arbitrarily determined based on speculation.
There can be no assurance that we will achieve any Warrant exercise from our
Shareholders. We have no arrangement or guarantee that we will achieve any
Warrant or Option exercise proceeds from anyone. All subscription checks for
Warrant or Option exercises will be made payable to us. We will receive NO
proceeds from sales of securities by our Selling Shareholders. Proceeds to

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL.
Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities,
officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities
engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of
interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation
opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities. While
each officer and director of our business is engaged in business activities
outside of our business, the amount of time they devote to our business will be
up to approximately 50 hours per week.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
Presently no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or
minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us
business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors
do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any
business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an
officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be
opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an
officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or
acquiring an affiliate, associate person or business opportunity from any
affiliate or any client of any such person.
PROJECTED STAFF
STAFFING
Our development team recognizes that additional staff is required to properly
support marketing, sales, research, and support functions.
Currently, we have one employee aside from the executive staff. This lean
staffing is possible in this phase because of our determination to outsource
noncore functions. However, we believe an additional 9 employees may be required
to meet projected market demand over the next 12 months. Our staff positions
will be filled as business demands require, and the positions may be altered in
response to business needs.

COMMON SHARES
All Shares are equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, and
dividend rights. Special Shareholders' meetings may be called by the officers or

outstanding Shares. Holders of Shares are entitled to one vote at any
Shareholders' meeting for each Share they own as of the record date fixed by the
board of directors. There is no quorum requirement for Shareholders' meetings.
Therefore, a vote of the majority of the Shares represented at a meeting will
govern even if this is substantially less than a majority of the Shares

upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of
assets available for such a distribution to Shareholders. There are no

more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of Shares. It
should be noted that the board of directors without notice to the Shareholders
may amend the By-Laws. Our Shares do not have cumulative voting rights, which
means that the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Shares voting for

INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
We have not hired or retained any experts or counsel on a contingent basis, who
would receive a direct or indirect interest in us, or who is, or was, our
promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES
The Colorado Business Corporation Act requires us to indemnify officers and
directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection
with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her
status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or
proceeding. The Colorado Business Corporation Act permits a corporation to
indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so,
for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such
officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of us and such
indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested
directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a
majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested
directors cannot be obtained.
25
The Colorado Business Corporation Act prohibits indemnification of a director or
officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's
acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation
of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing
limitations on indemnification, the Colorado Business Corporation Act may permit
an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification
even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional
misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
The Colorado Business Corporation Act also provides that indemnification of
directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for
those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.
According to our bylaws, we are authorized to indemnify our directors to the
fullest extent authorized under Colorado Law subject to certain specified
limitations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and persons controlling
us pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we are advised that, in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
We were newly formed on April 29, 2005 and have had only limited operations to
date relating to structure and capital formation. Also see "CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS" at page 37.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CONCEPT AND FORMATION
In early 2005, our founders Neil A. Cox and John Harris explored a business
opportunity: customized playing cards. They believed that by working with
state-of-the-art printers that fully utilize digital technologies, that they
could reduce cycle times for full-color customized printing from a standard
three to five weeks to just three to five days. In addition, they believed that
digital presses could allow product runs in small quantities and at lower
prices.
In view of the continued growth surrounding poker, we were formed by Mr. Cox and
Mr. Harris as Stack the Deck, Inc. a Colorado corporation in 2005, and we
changed the name to Tombstone Cards, Inc. With the initial team in place and
capital secured, we are now preparing to finalize production processes, develop
Internet presence, secure necessary design elements, and arrange for the launch
for business.
We are located at 2400 Central Avenue, Suite G, Boulder, Colorado 80301. We
maintain websites at WWW.TOMBSTONECARDS.COM and www.tombstonetechnologies.com,
which are not incorporated in and are not a part of this report.
BACKGROUND
Based upon our research, since 2003 the poker-playing and gaming markets have
grown as evidenced by the various televised poker tournaments. This has created
what we believe will be a demand for superior quality customized playing cards.
Although there is no shortage of putative competitors, we believe that our real
strength may be in the development and sale of a new, extremely focused product
line using the proprietary Web-based design system that we are developing to
support the interactivity and functionality required for our customers to
personally create their orders. We believe no one else is offering the
capabilities of the interactive system we are developing.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, we created our Tombstone Technologies
Division (the Technology Division). The Technology Division was created in order
to handle the development, marketing and licensing of our proprietary
OIEPrint(TM) software, a web to print template driven application. Web to print
is the overall process of integrating technology, from ordering and pre-press to
post-press and delivery in order to reduce time and costs.
On December 27, 2007, we filed a provisional patent application with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) titled INTERNET APPLICATION FOR THE
DESIGN OF HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL GRAPHICS.
26
We are creating an operating infrastructure with strategic partners for
outsourced production and well-designed affiliate programs to support key
distribution channels. We are now in the initial stages of testing products and
web services, as well as developing the fundamental underlying business model.
PRODUCTS
PLAYING CARDS. Our playing cards, consists of a standard deck of
poker-sized cards, printed in full color and packaged in pre-printed
Tombstone-branded tuck boxes that allow the custom design of the cards
to be seen and displayed. During the year ended 2007, we have worked to
develop new products and existing product upgrades.
OIEPRINT 2.0 SOFTWARE. OIEPrint software is a web to print template
driven application that allows the users to personalize and customize
designs. The software will be available to be licensed through either
purchase or as a hosted solution. A full purchase allows the customer
to license the software, while the hosted solution allows the user to
use the software through our website at www.tombstonetechnologies.com.
We will continue to use our existing software product in the design of
our playing card product.
CUSTOMERS
PLAYING CARDS
We believe that there are three common customer types that make up our target
market for our playing cards:
The most typical customer for our product is a male, 25 to 65 years old, with an
outgoing personality and an interest in poker. The customer will believe that he
has certain flair and will compete with his peers to demonstrate this as an
actuality.
Poker clubs and regional tournaments that want something special to brand their
events.
Businesses that purchase the product for special celebrations and to promote
their organizations.
It is likely that potential customers are going to be familiar with similar and
existing products and that they will accept our new offering provided that we
can clearly and succinctly demonstrate the product advantages.
PRINTING SOFTWARE
Our printing software has been designed for use, not only by the customers of
printing shops but also by specialty product producers. The customers of our
printing software will be interested in being able to individualize their
product, since they will be able to use the printing software to create and
customize graphics and text.
PRODUCT STRATEGY
We offer a single card product, but with an almost infinite number of
customization options for the consumer and business markets. Our product
provides customers the ability to make personal statements about themselves,
design unique gifts, advertise their business with an item that is both "cool"
and "fun", in addition to the cards being an ancillary product that can generate
revenues for them.
We intend to offer our OIEPrint software product through the internet. The
software has been developed to be used with several platforms. We intend for the
product to help meet the needs of printers, specialty product producers and
others to satisfy the growing customer demand for personalization of products.
BUSINESS MODEL
Our business model is focused on extensively using the Internet for most
commercial functions, including order tracking, affiliate management, and
customer relationship management. We believe that this will reduce the cycle
time, increase our ability to retain customers, and keep our administrative
costs low.
27
COMPETITION
PLAYING CARDS
Our competitors in this market are Gemaco, Newt's Playing Cards, House of Cards
India, and virtually any other company with a printer. It is even possible to
purchase "playing card paper stock" and print personal cards from a home printer
attached to ones computer.
However, we believe no competitor currently offers the combination of high
quality/high value with low order size/low per-unit cost. In doing this,
competitors provide, among other options:
o Single-color printing on a pre-selected background (e.g., marble or
patterned)
o Photographic printing with little or no customization options
In addition, the minimum order may be as high as 50 decks from competitors.
Our strategy for meeting the competition is to add to and improve the online
design/purchasing experience; secure partnerships, licensing arrangements, and
advertising co-op arrangements with high-visibility brand owners that share our
customer base (e.g., motorcycle manufacturers and dealers, military
organizations, beer companies, etc.); and make sure that it stays easy to do
business with us.
PRINTING SOFTWARE
Our competitors in the market for our printing software are primarily
pre-existing, large-run lithographic print companies.
We believe that we are posed to be able to provide a way, through our printing
software, to meet the specialized needs of market to produce individual
high-resolution, print to ready images, in a cost-effective, efficient and
automated way that our competitors are unable.
MARKETING PLAN POTENTIAL
Our marketing strategy is to aggressively promote and support the significant
features unique to the product and to use public relations media and web
presence to clearly demonstrate the advantages of the product offerings.
These advantages include:
o Triple-laminated paper stock with a plastic finish
o A high degree of available customization requiring little skill or computer
knowledge
o A cycle time that is dramatically shorter than the competitive printers
o Aggressive pricing
The proposed marketing mix includes advertising, affiliate support, banner ads,
direct mail, a public relations campaign, and sponsorship of local and regional
poker tournaments.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
Our marketing strategy includes selling the product through several channels,
including direct to business for retail sales and promotions, and direct to
consumers. In all cases, we will be offering our products through our website..
We will actively create and maintain house accounts for businesses and larger
organizations.
ADVERTISING, PROMOTIONS, AND PUBLIC RELATIONS
Our advertising, promotions, and public relations strategy is to profile us as
the premier distributor of not only custom playing cards, but also as a licensor
of custom printing software. One of the keys of the strategy is not to compete
on price alone, thus avoiding any comparison in which we would be forced to deal
with the products as a commodity.
28
We intend to utilize the following media and methods to carry our message to
potential customers:
o Internet promotions using Web search engines and, where appropriate, banner
ads on complementary sites
o Direct mail using the most suitable lists from industry magazines, poker
clubs, and associated organizations
o Sponsorships of local and regional poker tournaments
o Public relations campaigns to targeted publications stressing the unique
attributes of the product and the process
o Print advertising in selected industry publications
On an ongoing basis, we intend to budget our advertising and marketing
investment as a percentage of total sales. By consistently tracking the results
of our campaigns, we will be able to determine the effectiveness of various
initiatives. This will allow us to adjust the budget allocation appropriately to
improve marketing efforts.
While some organizations break out public relations costs and strategies under
separate categories, we believe that the interrelationship of advertising and
public relations demands that they be linked in budget and in strategic
implementation.
SALES STRATEGY
Our products will be available over the Web and through direct sales efforts for
commercial and business accounts.. Customers will be attracted to the Web site
through our direct marketing to high-yield organizations (poker clubs, etc.) and
businesses, and web advertising through numerous avenues.
PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY
Production will be provided by strategic partners and full-service printing and
fulfillment companies with significant experience in producing playing cards and
they will maintain any necessary inventory as part of their ongoing business
operations. Key considerations in terms of production and delivery include the
rising costs of fuel and electricity, transportation costs, availability of raw
materials, adequate personnel to meet demand, and technology integration. At
this time, we expect that we will hold no inventory of finished card decks, but
will maintain limited inventory of pre-printed "tuck" boxes.
Delivery options for the finished product will be offered to and paid for by the
customer and processed through our Web site.
MARKET ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
We believe that the market for high-end personalized playing cards is a subset
of the poker/gaming market and, as such, there are no reliable figures at this
time to predict growth or even estimate the total size of the market.
In 2003, according to most gaming industry sources, there was an explosion of
interest in poker; the awareness was especially intense around the game called
"Texas Holdem." The point of crystallization for all this attention was the
debut of the World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel. Based upon our research we
believe that millions of Americans play poker on a regular basis and are
potential customers.
29
STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND THREATS (SWOT ANALYSIS)
STRENGTHS
o Our management is involved in our core business on a day-to-day basis.
o By outsourcing printing and production to strategic partners, we will not
incur significant startup costs associated with the purchase of high-end
digital printing equipment.
o Outsourcing allows us to obtain other suppliers as needed without investing
significant amounts of time or capital.
o The product line will start small and well focused, allowing us to easily
adapt to market changes.
o The management team has extensive experience in Internet marketing and
e-commerce, allowing us to fully capitalize on our customer base while
reducing administrative costs.
WEAKNESSES
o Because of our position as a startup, we are not a household name among
prospective customers, and the cost to raise us to "top-of-mind" awareness
will be higher than for an established company.
o The order/production process will need to be tested during a phased
rollout, which will delay our full production capabilities by 30 to 90
days.
o Documented processes and procedures, along with the integrated technology
deployment, are still in the development stage, and an unforeseen delay or
loss of key personnel could hold up the product launch.
THREATS AND RISKS TO OUR BUSINESS PLAN
o The fast-growing interest in poker could be a fad that burns out quickly,
leaving a smaller core than expected.
o A significant downturn in the American economy would reduce the amount of
disposable income available to our target audience.
o Other competitors could move quickly to match our performance by offering
similar products and design amenities, forcing us to invest more than
expected in product development.
o Too much success too quickly could overwhelm our systems, creating order
and fulfillment problems including the increased possibility of poor work
slipping through to the marketplace, resulting in high levels of customer
dissatisfaction.
CUSTOMER PROFILES
PLAYING CARDS
We believe that there are three common customer types that make up our target
market:
o The most typical customer for our product is a male, 25 to 65 years old,
with an outgoing personality and an interest in poker. The customer will
believe that he has certain flair and will compete with his peers to
demonstrate this as an actuality.
o Poker clubs and regional tournaments that want something special to brand
their events.
o Businesses that purchase the product for special celebrations and to
promote their organizations.
It is likely that potential customers are going to be familiar with similar and
existing products and that they will accept Tombstone's new offering provided
that we can clearly and succinctly demonstrate the product advantages.
PRINTING SOFTWARE
Our printing software has been designed for use, not only by the customers of
printing shops but also by specialty product producers. The customers of our
printing software will be interested in being able to individualize their
product, since they will be able to use the printing software to create and
customize graphics and text.

PRODUCT STRATEGY
CURRENT PRODUCT
Our playing cards, our sole current product, consists of a standard deck of
poker-sized cards, printed in full color and packaged in pre-printed
Tombstone-branded tuck boxes that allow the custom design of the cards to be
seen and displayed. Development of new products and existing product upgrades
for the normal course of business is planned for 2008.
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY/INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our products will be protected under the following:
o Tombstone Cards is the trademark of Tombstone Cards, Inc. Registration of
the trademark is in process.
o We own the domain names "tombstonecards.com", "tombstone-cards.com" and
"tombstonetechnologies".
o On December 27, 2007, we filed a provisional patent application with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) titled INTERNET
APPLICATION FOR THE DESIGN OF HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL GRAPHICS.
We have completed the development of our custom "pip" design for the faces of
the cards, (A "pip" is the term used to describe the faces of the cards
including the suit designs {hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds}, the font
selection and the proprietary design of the "court cards" {Jacks, Queens, Kings,
Aces}). We are in the process of developing proprietary templates and an
associated customization process for the Web.
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES
The life cycle for the customized playing cards depends on how and when they are
used. However, the actual life cycle of the product is not what drives repeat
business; instead, it is the perceived value of the product and how it supports
the branding or personal identification of the customer.
Because playing cards have been around for so long, usage or adoption will not
be a limiting factor. Instead, our ability to continue to produce more options
for the repeat buyer while increasing the size of the market will be critical.
TESTING
Our Web technology is being developed to allow products customized via the
Internet, along with the integration of an existing product that supports an
e-commerce solution.
We intend to test the following tasks and operations in the pilot production
process:
TASK/OPERATION
o Product technology and methods
o Key vendors
o Processing sequence and repeatability
o Specifications and control measures
o Production lead time and volume standards
Processes are being tested to ensure optimal cost-effective, quality output.
Testing has been conducted since August 2006 and will continue through January
2007 at various facilities and those of our strategic partners/providers of
services.
Volume testing will be accomplished by printing customized cards as demos for
salespeople, early adapters, selected test outlets, and our corporate use.
During this test phase, we will be working with the actual printing process as
well as the order and inventory system, Web tools, Internet shopping cart, and
credit verification systems.

INVENTORY, PRODUCTION COSTS, AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT
PLAYING CARDS
Key factors in the manufacturing and distribution processes include:
o Cost, availability, and lead time required for delivery of specialized
paper
o Press availability
o Cost of template and graphic development
o Shipping costs
o Internet availability and security
Raw materials, components, and subassemblies required for production are handled
directly by sub-contractors. The only inventory requirement will be for
pre-printed tuck boxes which are available with a three week lead at a cost of
$.10 per box, based on an order of 50,000 units. We will not maintain a
preprinted finished inventory of playing cards.
KEY SUPPLIERS
PLAYING CARDs
Key suppliers may include:
o StoreFront Software (under contract)
o Viatek - Web hosting/application servers (under contract)
o OtherSide Creative, Inc. - Graphic Design (not under contract)
We intend to order or engage these suppliers on an as needed, project by project
basis.
UNIT PRICE
The full price for each unit is between $5 and $8, and the expected average unit
sales price, based on the projected customer mix, will be $5.86 per unit.
UNIT COST
We project that unit cost will be approximately $2.60 per unit at startup. We
believe that we can reduce this cost as we ramp up and gain economies of scale
in purchasing and production.
INVENTORY COSTS
The only inventory costs we will have will consist of the pre-printed tuck boxes
discussed earlier.
SALES OBJECTIVES
To achieve this objective, we plan to actively promote our product through a
carefully designed marketing mix of advertising, public relations, event
sponsorships, and direct mail while solidifying and expanding our distribution
channels, establishing strategic partnerships, and introducing new products.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Our initial total capital requirements are projected at $518,000, which we
believe is sufficient for operations for the next twelve months under our
Limited Operations Budget.
32
These funds will be used to:
o Finalize the proprietary Web customization program
o Implement our marketing plan
o Hire staff
o Build out our infrastructure
o Augment our staff to support and sustain prolonged growth under the new
marketing plan
o Maintain working capital
WEB SALES AT TOMBSTONECARDS.COM AND TOMBSTONETECHNOLOGIES.COM
PLAYING CARDS
The primary sales goal of our marketing effort will be to reach out to
businesses and organizations along with affinity group customers and drive them
to visit WWW.TOMBSTONECARDS.COM.
PRINTING SOFTWARE
The primary sales goal of our marketing effort will be to reach out to
businesses and individuals and drive them to visit WWW.TOMBSTONETECHNOLOGIES.COM
Our Web sites have been launched and are currently functioning.
PRICING
We are offering our playing card product to individuals, groups, and businesses
on a sliding scale, starting at $8.00 per unit based on a minimum order of 24
decks. This price structure will vary based on the size and/or frequency of the
order. Discounts for businesses and commercial accounts are available and begin
at an order size of 1/2 gross. This policy may be adjusted as sales and
conditions warrant.
Our printing software will be available to be licensed through either purchase
or as a hosted solution. A full purchase allows the customer to license the
software, while the hosted solution allows the user to use the software through
our website at www.tombstonetechnologies.com. We will continue to use our
existing software product in the design of our playing card product.
INTERNATIONAL
At this time, we do not intend to offer international sales (with the exception
of Canada). Any orders coming in over the Internet from outside these areas will
be treated on an individual basis.
GOALS
OUR GOALS
In order for us to attain the results as described in our vision and mission
statements, we must achieve the following primary strategic goals: (Note: these
are "goals" only and there is no assurance whatsoever that we can successfully
achieve all or any of these goals.)
Operations: We are designing and developing the infrastructure necessary to
support our sales goals. Our Internet sites are fully operational, and the first
orders have been processed. We are designing the ability to quickly scale
operations and this will be embedded in the technology and operational
architecture. We are continuing to test and develop the version 2.0 of our
OIEPrint Software.
Products: In order to encourage repeat business, we intend to continue to expand
and refine our initial product line by offering new templates, services, and
options on an ongoing and regular basis.
33
PLAN OF OPERATION
The following table presents the projected Budget for the next twelve months to
be funded through this offering. We anticipate using any funds raised by the
exercise of Warrants for which Shares are registered in this registration
statement to pay listed categories as shown in Tables V and VI, without any
priority to category. Management will have complete discretionary control over
the actual utilization of said funds and there can be no assurance as to the
manner or time in which said funds will be utilized.
The following represents our projected operations time line:
In July of 2007, our web site went live with our proprietary design tool and the
e-commerce functionality needed to support sales over the Internet. We
instituted a "soft rollout" in order to test the functionality and performance
of the system. Based on results and feedback, we have made modifications the
site and our processes. We also have taken the results from our sales analysis,
combined with our PR and media research and determine placement of our first
spot buys in poker magazines.
In December of 2007, we created our Tombstone Technologies Division (the
Technology Division). The Technology Division was created in order to handle the
development, marketing and licensing of our proprietary OIEPrint(TM) software, a
web to print template driven application. On December 27, 2007, we filed a
provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) titled Internet Application for the Design of High Resolution
Digital Graphics.
Office occupancy will require lease expenses for copiers and capital expenses
for network printers and a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone system. The
capital expense is projected to be under $20,000 for office furniture and
equipment.
Computer systems, including software and servers required for back-office
operations are already purchased and in place and are being hosted in a secure
data center in Westminster, Colorado. While our Internet servers will remain
there, the third server will be placed in our office and support the network and
computer infrastructure including VPN (Virtual Private Network) links to the
data center and our ecommerce software. Our monthly costs for hosting and IT
support is currently running less than $1000 per month.
We will continue to make adjustments to the advertising buys and ad placements
based on continuing analysis.
If business volume supports it, we anticipate adding 5 more employees bringing
our total staffing to 9 employees. These staff additions will necessitate
purchasing additional computers, software, furniture and office materials.
We will continue to analyze customer purchases, focusing on the use of our
pre-designed templates that allow a high level of customization. Based on these
observations we will add to our library of templates, adding more choices to the
most popular areas, making alterations in or eliminating templates for low
sellers. All changes will be tested in an off-line environment before
integration into the live site.
We have already tested the design, production and delivery of our customized
playing Cards and, therefore, do not anticipate any additional product research
and development.
Because our production is outsourced, we do not anticipate any significant
purchases of equipment or real property in order to implement our business plan.
Early investment will continue to be in the development of the web site and the
supporting software. With most of the work already completed, and beta testing
already under way, we have budgeted $15,000 for the deployment of our
proprietary design tool, systems integration and continued development of our
design templates. This amount was spent in the period up to June 30, 2007.
The following table presents the projected Budget for the period of August 2007
through August 2008, of which we have approximately $233,000 on hand at April
29, 2008, and budget for expanded operations funded through our offering of
Shares underlying Warrants. We anticipate using the funds raised by our Offering
of Shares underlying Warrants to pay listed categories as shown in Tables IV and
V without ascribing any priority to category. Management will have complete
discretionary control over the actual utilization of said funds and there can be
no assurance as to the manner or time in which said funds will be utilized.

------------------------------------
Website Development $25,000
====================================
TOTAL $500,000
We reserve the right to reallocate the funds according to changing events. We
believe the cash on hand is sufficient to fund our initial limited capital
requirements on a limited budget for a period of twelve months. There can be no
assurance we will not require additional funds. The availability and terms of
any future financing will depend on market and other conditions. The amount of
proceeds and uses are based upon the projections by our Management, which may
also change according to unforeseen future events and market changes.
The Company currently has no plans to raise additional capital other than
through Warrant or Option exercises. Based upon the launching of our web site
and marketing efforts in July 2007, it is anticipated that revenues resulting in
positive cash flow will generate sufficient funds for current operations and
projected growth. If additional capital is required, the Company could create a
debt instrument, a private placement offering targeting accredited investors or
if a successful market should occur, the exercise of our "A" Warrants or "B"
Warrants.
In the event we are unable to achieve additional capital raising through our
Warrants exercise, we will limit operations to fit within our capital
availability. In such event, we will probably seek loans for operating capital.
We have not achieved any commitments for loans from any source. In any event our
business can be operated with a skeleton staff and have limited
advertising/marketing budget, which could cause us to remain unprofitable and
eventually fail.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
MARKET INFORMATION
Our Common Stock is presently traded on the over-the-counter market on the OTC
Bulletin Board maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
("FINRA"). In October 2007, we began trading on the over the counter bulletin
board under the symbol "TMCI." During the period of October 2007 through
December 31, 2007, our shares did not trade.
During the period of January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008, our common stock
had limited trading. On March 31, 2008, our shares of common stock had a high of
$0.90 and a low of $0.85.
In addition to our common stock, in October 2007, we began trading our units on
the OTC Bulletin Board. A unit consists of 1 share of our common stock, 1 of our
"A" Warrants and 1 of our "B" Warrants. The Units trade on the over the counter
bulletin board under the symbol "TMCIU". During the period of October 2007
through March 31, 2008, our Units have not traded.
The offering of the Shares registered hereby could have a material negative
effect on the market price for the stock.
RULES GOVERNING LOW-PRICE STOCKS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR SHAREHOLDERS' ABILITY TO
RESELL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our stock currently is not traded on any stock exchange or quoted on any stock
quotation system. After filing the registration statement in which this
prospectus is included, we intend to solicit a broker to apply for quotation of
Common Stock on the FINRA's OTC/BB.
Quotations on the OTC/BB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up,
markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Our Common Stock
will be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks
generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system,
provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume
37
information with respect to transaction in such securities. The additional sales
practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers are and may
discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Shares which could
severely limit the market liquidity of the Shares and impede the sale of Shares
in the secondary market.
The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser's written consent to
the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents
prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature
and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared
by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the
transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose
commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and
current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to
send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the
penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the
limited market in penny stocks.
HOLDERS
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have 36 Shareholders of record of our
Common Stock. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions
and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information
about us. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of our affiliates at any
time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned
the Shares proposed to be sold for at least 6 months, is entitled to sell Shares
without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation
or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold 1,025,000
Shares, which may be sold pursuant to this Registration Statement
DIVIDENDS
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends to
Shareholders. There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay
dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The
Colorado Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends
where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend; we would not be
able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or our
total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount
that would be needed to satisfy the rights of Shareholders who have preferential
rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

All of our officers and/or directors will continue to be active in other
companies. All officers and directors have retained the right to conduct their
own independent business interests.
It is possible that situations may arise in the future where the personal
interests of the officers and directors may conflict with our interests. Such
conflicts could include determining what portion of their working time will be
spent on our business and what portion on other business interest. To the best
ability and in the best judgment of our officers and directors, any conflicts of
interest between us and the personal interests of our officers and directors
will be resolved in a fair manner which will protect our interests. Any
transactions between us and entities affiliated with our officers and directors
will be on terms which are fair and equitable to us. Our Board of Directors
intends to continually review all corporate opportunities to further attempt to
safeguard against conflicts of interest between their business interests and our
interests.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Tombstone Cards, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tombstone Cards, Inc. as of
December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Tombstone Cards, Inc. as of
December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Tombstone Cards, Inc. (referenced as "we," "us," "our" in the accompanying
notes) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on April 29, 2005. We were
organized to engage in the business of manufacturing and selling
personalized playing cards.
Development Stage Company
During 2007, we emerged from the development stage.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three
months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. We had $304,489 cash
equivalents at December 31, 2007.
Accounts Receivable:
The allowance for doubtful accounts, which is $-0- at December 31, 2007, is
based on an assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. We review the
allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality,
age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that
may affect a customer's ability to pay.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on an average cost) or
market value.
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of
equipment are capitalized. Repairs, maintenance and renewals that do not extend
the useful lives of the equipment are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is
provided on the straight-line method over 3 years.
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets include property and equipment, equity investments and
intangible assets. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we estimate the
future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, expected to result
from the use of those assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, we
recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the
fair value of the assets.
Financial Instruments
The Company has determined, based on available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies, that the fair value of its financial
instruments approximates carrying value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term
maturity of the instruments.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
F-7
TOMBSTONE CARDS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
Advertising
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were
$32,275 and $11,667 respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares
(the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share
is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased
to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.
At December 31, 2007, there were no variances between basic and diluted loss per
share as the impact of the 4,570,000 options, warrants and warrant units
outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.
Share-Based Payment
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123(R), "Share-Based
Payment", which is a revision to FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (FASB 123). FASB Statement No. 123(R) requires all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options,
to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. We
adopted the fair value based method of accounting for share-based payments
effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method described in
FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition
and Disclosure. The modified prospective method requires companies to record
compensation cost beginning with the effective date based on the requirements of
FASB Statement No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the
effective date. There were no share-based payments granted prior to the
effective date.
New Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or
SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This
statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies
under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively
as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is initially
applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a cumulative-effect
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The provisions of SFAS
No. 157 are effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007;
therefore, we anticipate adopting this standard as of January 1, 2008. We do not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering
the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements , or SAB No. 108, to eliminate the diversity
of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement
misstatements. Traditionally, there have been two widely-recognized methods for
quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements: the "roll-over"
method and the "iron curtain" method. The roll-over method focuses primarily on
F-8
TOMBSTONE CARDS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
the impact of a misstatement on the income statement, including the reversing
effect of prior year misstatements, but its use can lead to the accumulation of
misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron-curtain method, on the other hand,
focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with
less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior year errors on the income
statement. In SAB No. 108, the SEC Staff established an approach that requires
quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the
misstatements on each financial statement and the related financial statement
disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a "dual approach" because it
requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and the roll-over
methods. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have an impact on our financial
statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 , or
FIN No. 48. FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
FIN 48 requires that we recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a
tax position if that position will more likely than not be sustained on audit,
based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosures, and transition provisions. FIN No. 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we adopted FIN No. 48 at the
beginning of fiscal 2007. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have an impact on
our financial statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from
Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the
Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net Presentation) . The adoption of EITF
No. 06-3 did not have an impact on our financial statements. Our accounting
policy has been to present above mentioned taxes on a net basis, excluded from
revenues.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS No. 159. The fair value
option established by SFAS No. 159 permits, but does not require, all entities
to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.
An entity would report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.
SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year
that begins after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing what the impact
of the adoption of this Statement will be on our financial position and results
of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business
Combinations, or SFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for
business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required
to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at
the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will
change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a
business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Accordingly, any business combinations we engage in will be recorded and
disclosed following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS No. 141R
will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the
effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements--An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160.
SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. We have no noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries at this
time.

At December 31, 2007, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of
$196,177 due to operating loss carryforwards of $529,410 which was fully allowed
for, in the valuation allowance of $196,177. The valuation allowance offsets the
net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The change
in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled
$149,078. The net operating loss carryforward expires through the year 2027.
At December 31, 2006, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of
$47,099 due to operating loss carryforwards of $180,912 which was fully allowed
for, in the valuation allowance of $47,099. The valuation allowance offsets the
net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The change
in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $45,536.
The net operating loss carryforward expires through the year 2026.
The valuation allowance is evaluated at the end of each year, considering
positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be
realized. At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced;
reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive
evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer
impaired and the allowance is no longer required.
Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code, the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards
generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation,
which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.
(7) Concentration of Credit Risk
We have concentrated our credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in
financial institutions, which may at times, exceed the amounts covered by
insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
F-13
TOMBSTONE CARDS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
(FDIC). The loss that would have resulted from that risk totaled $304,489 at
December 31, 2007, for the excess of the deposit liabilities reported by the
financial institution over the amount that would have been covered by federal
insurance. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we
are not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash.

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Tombstone Cards, Inc. officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the
Colorado Revised Statutes and the bylaws.
Under the Colorado Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a
company or its Shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically
unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Our
Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit the directors' immunity.
Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the
company or its Shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director
has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the
director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or
no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d)
willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that it will indemnify the directors to the fullest extent
not prohibited by Colorado law; provided, however, that the company may modify
the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with the directors
and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify
any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof,
initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required
to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors,
(c) is provided by us, in sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested under
Colorado law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that it will advance to any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the company, or is
or was serving at the request of us as a director or executive officer of
another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to
the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore,
all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to
repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by it to an officer of the
company except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of
the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time
such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person
acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the company.

UNDERTAKINGS
Tombstone Cards, Inc. hereby undertakes the following:
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
Post-Effective Amendment to this Registration Statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this registration statement, or most recent
post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of the directors,
officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of the directors, officers, or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will unless in
the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement
in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
Registrant under Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as
part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it
effective.

of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be signed on our behalf by the
