Card About Coffee

*where would life be without coffee is what I am pondering this morning after not getting a lot of sleep last night. For a strictly decaf coffee drinker, the taste is what its all about for me so I go to a lot of dark roasts to get that flavor. otherwise it feels like I am drinking watered down milk or what I call skim milk. takes another sip, I can feel myself waking up some...*

I had never considered the thought before, but how cool would it be to own a card that involved coffee for this Coffee drinking, blogger? So I took to Twitter for help on this subject. I was shown a few examples of players drinking out of paper cups, etc. It really wasn't what I was looking for. Then I started getting some more interesting suggestions. Someone found a really cool Coffee Mug card from 1991 Star Pics Twin Peaks I really want still. Another person found suggested that maybe I should collect a few Glen Coffee cards. Then a close friend of mine sent me a picture of a card that is in today's card post and let me tell you, this card is a perfect fit.

*takes another sip. not feeling quite hungry yet, but craves more coffee. follows up with a few more sips, a gulp and a swig to finish the cup. onto cup #2*

In 2019, Rittenhouse created a Scratch and Sniff set in it's Twin Peaks Archives product. There are a few cards in that set that would fit on this blog but none more than the one I bought.
Coffee...and yes, I scratched it some just so I can sniff it and they nailed the scent.

 
I probably won't scratch it too many times as I don't want it to lose its essence.

I don't remember a lot about the show but remember watching it in the 90's. I may have to do some research or watch a few episodes to remind myself.

*takes a scratch..I mean sip before closing up today's post*

On my big want list right now is to hunt down that Star Pics Coffee Mug card. I think it would be a lot of fun to coffee card up this blog.

Also on my watch list is adding a few more of these that would fit on here such as Bacon and Eggs, Birthday Cake and especially, Donuts. No, I am not a cop.

Let me know your thoughts on scratch and sniff cards and if you own or have seen any cards that relate to coffee.

  2. Go to COMC and type in coffee, then filter by non-sports, you'll find a lot of fun things (check the sold listings too).
