Star Wars Hits

I bought my first pack of Star Wars cards when they first came out after the first movie.  Not sure what happened to those cards. I've been collecting Star Wars again for the past couple of years.  Here are some of my best cards. I got this out of a pack of Jedi Legacy cards.  An authentic film cell of Darth Vader threatening to torture Princess Leia, The other hits are autographs. Here are 3 characters from various sets. My best hit so far is this one. I got it out of a pack I bought at Oxford Comics in Atlanta. Not much of a writer this evening but wanted to get a post out.

Walking Dead Hits

Sooooo.... I don't watch the Walking Dead but I collect the cards.  I do watch Fear the Walking Dead but there are no cards except on the Walking Dead Card Collector app. Kinda frustrating but cards did eat my brain so collecting Walking Dead is appropriate. Here are my best cards: Morgan has crossed over in to Fear and is ending up as the main hero of that show.  This is as close as I can get to a Fear the Walking Dead memorabilia card. No idea who this character is but getting a parallel auto out of a Wal-Mart rack box is a good hit. Here are hits from the hobby boxes I bought a couple of months ago. Another big hit from a Wal-Mart pre-pack.  This is a 1/1 parallel. And to top it off.... This is my one and only sketch card from any set so it has a special place in my collection. I tried getting in to the season premiere last week but gave up half way through.  I'll watch football or baseball tonight.

A Chance Well Taken

I took a chance and paid $38 for a Hit Parade repack of 1960 Topps cards.  It promised 5 cards with a chance of getting a graded card.  I got a Norm Cash card I needed for my Tigers' collection that books up to $25.  The other 4 cards were commons. Then there was this at the bottom of the box.  I'd say it was worth the $38.
