Come And Knock On My Door, I'll Be Trading With You

Come and knock on my door, I'll be trading with you. I got what you want do you have something for me to?

For only the second time, I pulled off a trade with @timothymaciag. I have been dangling out a couple of decent autographed cards on Twitter looking for some non sport autos or hits in return for them. It was about two weeks of repeating tweets on those before I finally had a bite on one of those cards.

So Timothy messaged me and asked what I was looking for and within a few days we worked out a deal that included the lovely Joyce Dewitt from the comedy Threes Company that I used to watch.

Other fun adds in this trade were,

I don't remember much about those who were on American Gladiators, just the show itself and how I used to haven an action figure. It may have been Laser. I don't remember but once again a lot of my non sport adds have to do with parts of my past.

 

Max Baer jr played Jethro on Beverly Hillbillies. I used to watch that with both of my grandmothers when I went over to their house. So nostalgia kicked in with it.

 

 

I felt bad for Wayne Gallman when the Giants drafted Saquon. He never quite got an opportunity. Even though he isn't even a starter now that Saquon is hurt, I still have a soft spot for him.

 

 

Gallman Optic auto I added as well. Terrible signature.

 

Then I added some newer Giants in Darius Slayton and Daniel Jones rookies,

And I wasn't quite done with the non sport yet as I added a cool Halloween relic I would call it,

Even though Anthony has been in what feels a million films, it's his role as Hannibal Lecter that will always be the one I remember him and creep out about him the most.

There was also another part of this trade which helped me land a new Rodney Hampton and a few set needs I will post another time as they are not in hand yet. 

Thanks for the trade again Timothy.

I still have the other card up for trade which is a 2012  Thierry Henry Upper Deck The National autograph /35 that I hope to still move for some non sport autographs. 

So come and knock on my door if that's up your alley.

Hobby Break 'Em: 2013 Upper Deck Thor The Dark World 8 Pack Break

Being a collector of everything and a fan of Marvel comics and movies, yup you can call me a full-time nerd, I thought it would be fun to be able to break some packs of Thor The Dark World.

There are 8 cards per pack of Thor The Dark World. Two of those may be subset cards along with one sticker. You can find sketch cards, rare autographs and costume cards from the movie. Each pack is a little under $5.

Now onto how I did:

Upper Deck even does a great job with mostly borderless photography cards for entertainment cards as well giving you the best action shots from the movie.

There are also two subsets within the Thor base set:

 

STICKERS!

Who doesn't want a costume card of the one and only Natalie Portman? This is also the second best costume card you can get from the set.

Very cool 1/1 Sketch Card . I have always been a fan of these.

This final card, though not very valuable, is so sweet. It's printed on very thick acetate and has a 3D look to it.

Overall, for only 8 packs, I totally scored. A 1/1, a costume card and cool designed insert.  Doesn't get any better of a break than that.

As always, your thoughts are welcomed on this break and the product and let me know if you have tried any of these.
