2019 Twin Peaks Archives

I loved the show Twin Peaks back in the early 1990's when it first aired and I have the original card set so I decided to get a box of 2019 Twin Peaks Archives.

It promised 2 autos per box and with the great cast the show had I figured I would get some good cards.  I got a complete set of the base cards to go with my earlier set.


Here are my hits:



One Eyed Jacks was the Casino/Brothel in town.  This is a replica poker chip from the casino and is very heavy.  These cards are apparently less than one per box and there is also a "broken" version.


Billy Zane is a veteran of many films and TV shows.  He placed John Justice Wheeler on Twin Peaks.  He is probably best known for being the "bad guy" in Titanic.


Another veteran actor, Richard played the richest man in town, Benjamin Horne.  Richard played Tony in the movie West Side Story, opposite Natalie Wood.

While the poker chip card is an unexpected oddity the autograph cards met my expectations of the quality of the signers in this set.

I will look for other Twin Peaks boxes to buy in the future.

    I watched the movie back in the early 90's and couldn't get into it (or maybe I was super confused). Just found the show on Netflix and added it to my list. I'll check it out as soon as I'm finished with Dark.

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...
