Groovy Baby!

Austin Powers is a movie that has plenty of memorable moments, quotable humorous lines and a movie series that will always stand the test of time.

And now I have a piece of that movie in my collection.

I recently grabbed this 2008 Upper Deck A Piece Of Hollywood featuring a swatch of Austin Powers pants worn by Mike Myers from the movie for my non-sport PC.

 

Back of the card is the certification and pants that the swatch had been taken from.

I really like these relic cards and own quite a few in my collection. I have been wanting to add this one for quite some time and finally found a reasonable one.

Thoughts on my latest add welcomed in comments. Also, let me know if you enjoyed the Austin Powers movies and what your favorite one is from the group is.

Hope you have a great Saturday!

MONSTER TRADE COUNTDOWN CARDS # 7

#7 was a tough one for me. Cause honestly, each of these could have been one post alone. I immediately scooped these up when Shane showed me as I was really excited about adding these.

Upper Deck's 2008 A Piece of Hollywood included some great movies and Hollywood worn memorabilia by stars. These were inserted mainly one-per-box in 2008 Upper Deck UD Piece Of History baseball.

Up first, a piece of shirt work in the movie JFK worn by Kevin Costner.

Secondly, this is really cool. Superman's cape from the older movies worn by the one and only Christoper Reeve in Superman 3.

Finally, we get a bit groovy baby with a piece of pants from the first Austin Powers movie. This was one of my favorite movies so adding a piece of memorabilia from it was really cool.

 These all will look great in my non-sport PC.

As you can tell, we are continuing to build upon cooler stuff by the day. Tomorrow, we make it to card(s) 6 in my countdown of my monster trade with Project Pedro Blog.

A Stiller Of A Mail Day From Jammin JDcards

A few years ago I had busted a couple of boxes of Upper Deck A Piece Of History Baseball 2009 and became hooked on their A Piece Of Hollywood cards after pulling ones of Denzel Washington and Bruce Lee. However, I haven't added any to the set until now.

Awhile ago I saw that Jammin JDcards had pulled the Ben Stiller A Piece Of Hollywood from the movie, Along Came Polly, despite how bad that movie was, I really wanted the card. Not to mention, it's still Ben Stiller who has put out some hilarious movies such as Meet The Parents, Zoolander, Dodgeball, There's Something About Mary and Tower Heist among others. So I searched his STORE FRONT on Beckett Marketplace, found the card, and made it apart of the Sport Card Collector's family.

 

The design of the card is well done I like the fact that the back shows the piece it was cut from as seen here:

However, I do wished they had put the actor's face on the front of the card or a scene from the movie. That part is lacking and would have definitely improved the design of the card. But, overall not bad. This will go to the PC along with the other two I have. I truly enjoy finding unique pieces to add to my collection.

Comments on this mail day and what you think of Hollywood cards being in baseball card products are welcomed!
