Chess Mugs with art featuring all 16 World Chess Champions - what do you think?

I thought I would share info about this personal project I worked on. It's called "Your Move" Chess Mugs. This set of four coffee mugs has original hand-drawn art featuring all 16 world chess champions. I was inspired to do this because there is so little good chess art available and I'm a fan of chess history.

I've attached a photo of the mugs, but you can see 3D rotating images of them on https://chessmugs.com/.

This is not an online business - I am not making money on this and I'm not making more than the 125 sets that have already been made. It was just something fun that I wanted to do for myself and for the chess community.

As a thank you to this community I'm giving all Chess.com users a 20% discount. My goal is for the mugs to go to people that will really appreciate them. It's hard to capture how cool they are on a website, but I've been using mine for months and they look amazing in person.

Please let me know what you think.

@ghost_of_pushwood not sure what you mean, these are hand drawn by a talented artist - they look amazing in person.

We started with 125 sets of mugs and we have about 100 sets left. Considering that a "World's Best Dad" mug can sell for $18 (see link) these are a bargain for chess nerds.

That makes no sense

Given the craziness going on in the world I upped the discount to 20% (from 15%). Let me know if you have any questions about the mugs.

@long_quach thanks for sharing your opinion. Actually the laws regarding the use of their images on the mugs is more complex than you think. Please do some research and let me know what you find.

...thanks for sharing, but I wonder why he did.
