Games, Thrones, Cards

I loved Game of Thrones so naturally I've been collecting the cards.

I came across Game of Thrones Inflexions on a website and bought three boxes.

Each box has three packs with each pack having three base cards and two hits.

Here is the result:


These are silver parallels of the base and are numbered out of 75.  There are other, rarer, parallels but I only got silver.  




These laser cut cards come one per box.


These are lenticular motion cards and also seem to be one per box.  They are semi-transparent and much prettier in person.

There were two autographs per box.


This is a "full-bleed" autograph card and is similar to cards from earlier sets.



These are called Valyrian autographs.




My favorite autograph set is these gold ink signatures.  The ink really stands out.

Each box seems to have one big hit so here there are in order of how much I like them.


This card contains an actual United Kingdom postage stamp.  I used to collect stamps and England was my specialty so I can appreciate this.


This is a piece of cape from Daenerys.  It's my first Game of Thrones relic card.  I like the fact that they didn't flatten out the piece fo cloth as the actual cape pictured was structured this way.

And now the superstar of the boxes.



This is printed on a metal plate.  Numbered on the back 01/25.  

I may be in love with this card. LOL

These boxes were not cheap.  I used the last of my stimulus money on them.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with what I got and may buy a box or two more if I get any more unattached money.

Let me know what you think and if there any non-sport subjects that you collect.

And I really need to clean the dust off of my scanner.

  1. Cool product. My favorite show of all-time... although I wasn't the biggest fan of the way things ended. Oh well... leading up to the ending was pretty epic. I'm tempted to buy a box of this stuff (looks like Blowout has boxes for $98.77), but I'll probably just look for some singles on eBay.

  2. Great cards! I've been considering picking up a box but haven't done so yet. This may push me to do so. Love those gold ink autos.

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...
