You're A Mean One....

You're a mean one...Mr. Grinch.

A few years ago I saw a blog, I believe it was Pack Wars blog, post How The Grinch Stole Christmas autograph cards and ever since I have wanted them.

The set was mainly built of artist autographs but did include three non artist autographs with two actor autographs from the movie with the third one being from Director Ron Howard.

The two actor autographs have two different ink variations to find. My recent trade with @Jake1725 landed me two of the three autographs in the set I wanted.

Jeffrey Tambor who has played many roles in his acting career. He was on Arrested Development, he was King Neptune's voice in The Spongebob Squarepants movie, The Hangover saga, was King Poppy in Trolls, among many other big and small roles. In The Grinch, he was Mayor Augustus Maywho who was always a bully to the Grinch. Guess he learned his lesson a few times in the movie.

The other autograph was of Christine Baranski who herself has been in many things over the years. I currently know her as Dr. Beverly Hofstadter from Big Bang Theory as Leonard's mom.She also played on Cybill, The Good Wife, Cruel Intentions, but also played The Grinch's love interest in the movie as Martha May Whovier.

My goal at some point now is to try and land that Ron Howard to the set. But, that one isn't cheap like these were. Most Howard's are listed at least for BIN of $90. That's obviously way out of my league. I may need some help from fellow trading friends to acquire the beast.

As for The Grinch movie itself, I hated it when it first came out but as years passed it grew on me especially the humor of Jim Carrey playing the role of The Grinch. Some of those lines are classics and I will use occasionally on friends and family.

But overall, I still prefer Boris Karloff voicing the cartoon version more. Just old fashioned like that.

Thanks again Jake for the trade and for helping me acquire these.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Don't let The Grinch steal your stuff for Christmas morning.
