2019 Star Wars Masterwork

I decided to shop on Topps.com and they had 2019 Star Wars Masterwork listed.  I paid the most I've ever paid for a box of cards and I got two.

Masterworks has four packs or miniboxes in each box and promises four hits.

Here's what I got:



 
These are purple parallels of the base card.




I got two of the base autographs. The first one is they guy who was the voice of the Emperor so not a thrill here.  I'm not a big fan of autographs from voice actors in the Star Wars universe as I do not watch the cartoons.


The only autograph I care about from these boxes.  This is a rainbow foil parallel of Denis Lawson who played Wedge Antillies.  After the other two autographs it was very welcome to get a familiar character.



Here are a couple of 1/1 sketch cards by Anthony Figaro and Matthew Hirons respectively.  This now takes me from two sketch cards to four in my collection.  As usual the artists have signed the back of the cards.  While these are not characters I am overly thrilled by I'm not going to complain about original art.

Mon Mothma looks like she is staring into someones soul.


This last hit is another One of One that contains two cels of film from a print of one of the movies.  I think it is Return of the Jedi but I don't have the card in front of me so I'm not 100% sure.

Overall I have no need to buy any more of this product as the price point is beyond my normal one and having the cartoon based cards does nothing for me.

Getting three one of ones was nice, though.

I did order some packs of Series 2 T206 baseball in the same order and am waiting for those to ship.

    Although neither are characters I'd be really interested in... I've gotta say both of those sketch cards are beautifully done. I don't think any of the SW sketch cards in my collect have anywhere near the detail the artists put into yours.

      I agree. I saw a box break of this product last week and someone pulled what was literally a black line drawing as a "sketch"

It's All About George

Welcome back everybody! A friend of mine who asked me why I didn't restart SCAMB so I decided to take the suggestion since he is a professional writer.  I'm not saying this is great literature though. I've been looking for topics for the relaunch and have a few in mind, but to start I wanted to highlight my number one player collection. I've been a George Brett fan since I saw him play at Tiger Stadium in 1980.  He hit a home run and got into a brawl in the game.  I was hooked. Like many collector's I've been going through my cards and other things during all of the extra time I've had at home and came upon two card albums.  I think they came with Topps Attax kits that I bought randomly.  They each have 26 pages so I decided to put my Brett cards in them and discuss each page in an installment. This will be a long term series that will be interspersed with other topics as I find cards I didn't know I had or want to highlight my favorit...

I Think I'm Done

 I'm at the point that I am not feeling the trading card hobby anymore.  It is too much.  The ridiculousness of people fighting over cards at Target or Walmart even when the stores have jacked the prices up and the insane focus on spending money to have everything "slabbed" just has completely turned me off.  I have tried to focus on the vintage cards I've collected the last couple of years and the autographs and memorabilia pieces I have from some of my favorite shows and movies but I no longer have the desire to open a pack of new cards. Maybe someday if I become independently rich I will continue collecting vintage cards to add to my Tigers and Braves collections or buy rare autographs from Star Wars or Games of Thrones or some other pop culture sets but that time is not right now as living paycheck to paycheck does not make that possible. I have away the huge stack of boxes that I had full of cards, probably 200,000 cards, over the summer by putting them out by t...

The Golden Age

I recently purchased boxes of 2013 and 2014 Panini Golden Age. These sets were similar to Upper Deck Goodwin's Champions in that they featured retired players and historical figures.  They also tied in with Panini Americana as far as having memorabilia and autographs from pop culture figures. Each box promised two autos or relics. I had bought boxes when they orginally came out and pulled these a John Belushi shirt card and autographs of Angie Dickenson, Jan Stephenson and John Schneider. Here is what I got from this purchase: 2013 Bob Denver is most famously remembered as Gilligan from Gilligan's Island.  I also have a memorabilia card of him from Donruss Americana. Billy Sunday was a baseball player but is better known as an evangelist.  This card is a short print version as well as a rare white bordered parallel of the base card. I also got an autographed card of former Miami Dolphins running back Jim Kiick that I forgot to scan. 2014 Tatum O'Neal was 10 when she starr...
