Who You Gonna Call? Part 2

My Master Set chase of Ghostbusters actually began because of one trade I had. When I was able to pull off a trade with DJSeneseiNJ for the toughest autograph in the set, Dan Akroyd, that's when I thought to myself, "I could chase this set now" so I did. Originally it was going to be just the autographs but after completing the Psych Master set, I then decided I might as well tackle this one too.

Ghostbusters was a much tougher chase however.

Let's take a look at the hits in the set.

For some reason or another, the other four autographs in this set picture didn't upload but at least the Akroyd did. So sorry about not having the other ones on here! 

Overall there were 19 autographs in this set to chase.

The next part of the hits I completed were the Replica Patches.

The Rookie one was a binder exclusive.  I do wished I had the binder to store my master set in, well minus autographs.

These patch cards fell 1:72 packs.

Up next, the extremely rare and tough to find slime cards. I had to be two year patient on these.

 

This six card set fell at 1:200 odds each. That's 1:8.3 boxes which would require a lot of ripping and doesn't guarantee you wouldn't find a duplicate.

These hits sum up my Master Set. The next two I am showing off for fun.

There were tons of 1/1 sketch cards in the product. This is the only one I have from it.

 

And same goes for these animation cels . I really like these but can't ever seem to land more than this one which I got for less than $10. Most though are priced at $20 or more.

Someday I would love to add a few more sketch cards and definitely more animation cel cards just to boost this overall collection up a bit more.

I hope you all enjoyed the look at my collection of Ghostbusters and all have a safe, Happy Halloween. Don't let the boogeyman out of the closet or try to remember who to call when you do.

Who You Gonna Call? Part 1

Growing up I loved the Ghostbusters. From the movie to the cartoon series to the toys, I was a die hard fan.

Even as an adult, I still enjoy all aspects of Ghostbuters and am counting down until next year's movie sequel. It can't get here fast enough and I was saddened that Covid-19 pushed the movie off til next year.

When I heard that Cryptozoic was making a card set based on Ghostbusters, it was obvious that I needed some. How much of it would I collect? I wasn't sure. I just knew I had to at least have some and at the time I did grab some. 

Fast forward four years later from its release and I am happy to say I have tackled the Master Set.

What do I consider the Master Set to Cryptozoic Ghostbusters as? The base, the inserts, the autographs, slime cards, patch cards and promo cards. Not the 1/1's, as that would be impossible for anyone.

It took me a good year to track down all of the parallels to the base and inserts, but I finally did it. They were not easy to find and I may had taken all available ones as well. Had to order most overseas to even land them.

So in Part 1 of this two-parter, I will be showing off the base, inserts and parallels followed by the hits tomorrow for Part 2.

Let's bust this one down first,

Tricks And Traps 9 card set,

Tricks and Traps Cryptomium Parallel (very tough to find with each card landing at 1:56 packs)

Tricks and Traps Silver Foil

Sing For Your Specter

If you couldn't already tell, all of these are bindered making for a fun easy flip through and what I considered was the best way to display them.

That's it for Part 1. Tomorrow stay tuned as we take a dive into the hit portion of this set which includes a lot of fun pieces.

Missing Pieces:2016 Cryptozoic Ghostbusters

Welcome to the new plug-in series here on Sport Card Collectors. This series will take you through every single project I am working on and what I am missing from that project. I am hoping it may also spark some help for what I am missing.

It's been 4 long grueling years of chasing down the Master Set of Cryptozoic Ghostbusters which is why I made this the first post in the series. It took me five to do Psych and hoping I can do the same here. The only difference is I won't own every single 1/1 card from the Sketches and Animation Cels in this product. I will take any and all of those I can get my hand on though.

Currently, I sit at one Animation Cel and two sketch cards.

In my opinion those don't count as apart of my Master Set chase since they are 1/1's. Nobody can own all of those as most probably aren't even uncovered from unopened boxes yet.

Recently I have been knocking down some needs for my chase and have narrowed it down to three  TWO insert parallel sets to owning the Master Set of Ghostbusters.

First Missing Pieces, Character Bio Silver Foil. I do have the Dana Barrett silver foil, but not the rest. So I need C1,2,4,5,6,and 7.

 Second Missing Piece, the entire foil set of Sing For Your Specter. So 1-9 is needed.

Third Missing Piece, the toughest of the three, the Tricks And Traps Cryptonium parallel set. I own the foil set, just not this chromed version. Each card in this set fell 1:56 packs so they are not easy finds and not easy to hunt down. Especially for a product that is four years old.

UPDATED!!!!! THANKS TO MY BUDDY BRYAN THE TRICKS AND TRAPS HAS BEEN COMPLETED!!!!!!!

I also may look for these below at some point, not needed, but would be fun add-ons

PROMO cards

• P1NSU Magazine JUN/JUL 2015
• P1Cryptomium variant - multiple conventions Summer 2015
• C8Gozer – Ghostbusters the Board Game Launch Party Kit Winter 2015
• C9Mr. Stay Puft - NSU Magazine JUN/JUL 2016

There you have the first part of this series. I have so many projects spread across multiple sports that this could be a long time filler series til things get back to normalcy again. If they do.

Some of the sets I will be featuring on here you have seen before. Maybe even multiple times. So you may not have. Thanks again for reading and til next time!

Overall Look At Cryptozoic Ghostbusters

As you guys have read the last couple of days, I am chasing the Cryptozoic Ghostbusters cards. So here is a recap post of what I need.

The way I look at this set, there is only one true way to build a master set with so many 1/1's involved. You. need to do the following.

1. Build the 54 card base set
2. Collect at five chase sets
3. Build the 54 card base SILVER board base parallel set
4. Build ALL 5 Chase Sets Silver Board Parallel Sets
5. Get the Cryptomium Variant set of Tricks and Traps cards
6. Collect all 9 of the Patch Cards
7. Collect All 6 Of The fabricated Slime cards
8. ADD as many of the 1/1 Printing Plates. Animation Cel, and Sketch cards I can. 
9. Collect the Ghostbusters 2 original set. I don't believe they made a set for the first movie.

So far I have the base card set, the five chase sets, one of the Cryptomium Variant cards, 7 of the 9 patch cards, 2 of 6 Slime cards, one Animation Cel and two Sketch Cards.

So I obviously have a long way to go with this one.

SLIME CARD NEEDS

2,3,5,6

PATCH CARDS NEEDS:
 
H2,H9

Base Card Silver Board Parallels:
ALL

Chase Card Silver Foil Board
I have the Ticks And Traps, Behind The Scenes and Quotes completed. Just two more to go after that.


And only this part of the Cryptomium 

This one will take a lot longer than Psych I believe as there are many small and big pieces to chase. The Slime cards will be the toughest to do as they aren't easy to find. I am mad at myself for not staying up five minutes longer as I felt I had one locked down, but just missed out on a important one to the Slime set by .50. FIFTY CENTS.

But, it happens and I will keep my eye out for anymore needs that pop up.

Ghostbusters Totally Fabricated Replica Patch

Yesterday, I showed off my base card and chase sets. Today, I am showing off some Totally Fabricated Replica Patch Cards man.

These patch cards were not easy finds falling at a rate of 1:96 packs which is one in four boxes. Yikes!

Luckily for me, I found a partial set I scored for under $20 and was super excited about doing so. It's only missing two cards.

Here is what I scored,

 

That's seven out of nine cards in the set.

I know most of the time I complain about manufactured relic cards, but in this situation, I will take em. Even though finding a relic from the actors worn would have been so much better, these work to fill the void and felt needed in this product which was well rounded. Possibly an even better product than Psych. I know, I know.

Tomorrow will be the recap post of what I need to do to finish a Master Set and it's going to be quite the journey.

Ghostbusters Base Cards+Chase Sets

I finally decided it was time to work on getting my Ghostbusters on. Yes sir, I am chasing all of the Ghostbusters card madness like I did with Psych.

I want to collect it all....or at the very least as much as I can of it. I will have a post coming up in a couple of days updated on what I am collecting of it and how much help I need.

In the meantime, let's check out the base start to this project.

I found a lot on eBay for under $15 shipped that included the base set along with all five chase/insert sets. For that price, I couldn't go wrong.

Base Card Set

Character Bios

Behind The Scenes

Quotes Cards

Tricks And Traps

Sing For Your Specter

That's it for Post #1. I will have another up tomorrow for you guys with some pretty cool adds that I didn't have before from the product.

Psych:The Wardrobe/Relic Card Completion!!

First I completed the Psych base sets, second I chased down the autographs, then I shared my completion of all the chase sets and then we come to the final battle I had with Psych, the relic sets.

There was both a single, 1:24 pack pull relic and a dual 1:72 pull dual relic sets. The single relic set has twenty-two cards including an exclusive binder card and the dual relic had five cards to chase.

One by one I chased all summer trying to track these down and find good deals. Not all were easy to accomplish and with some help from a couple of trades I was finally able to knock them down. I had accomplished something I never thought I would. I had done the entire master set of Psych minus one card which is an overly priced exchange card I wasn't going to bother with.

Here are all the relics in all their glory.

Dual relics, these were hard to find for some,

And there we have it.

I had been teasing a major project I had been working on Twitter since June and here I am to finally share the breaking news of it.

Now that I have accomplished this, I feel like I shouldn't leave my Ghostbusters one hanging. But, I haven't even begun thinking about going down that road and that one is much, much longer than this one was.

Now I gotta ask, have any of you ever completed a Master Set of a product?

Psych:The Chase Set Completion

It's been over a year since I have whispered the words Psych on here. That's because I had finished the autograph set last September, which you can see HERE. 

However, I felt finishing the autograph set and the base sets for both series wasn't enough. I needed to do more. I needed to finish what I had started and coming as far as I had, it shouldn't be any harder....right?

Well, it wasn't to a certain extent. I had grabbed every missing piece I could and probably even overpaid for some but I wanted to do this and almost had everything complete until I couldn't find one card. ONE CARD. Why does this always happen?! It happened to me with both autograph sets for Psych and even happened for my Ghostbusters autograph one.

So once again, I hired the Card finding Guru Wes and once again, the man came through.

These acetate Character cards are not easy pulls which made them really hard finds. But, one way or another, Wes found a way and brought home the one missing piece in the Burton Guster C2 Character Bio acetate. Good luck to the rest of you trying to hunt these down now.

Here are all 6 acetate cards together.

Here is the foil Character Cards

Henry's Wisdom 9 card set

Psych Undercover 9 card set

Psychic Moments 9 card set

Psych The Musical 6 card set

And the first series of Psych Undercover 9 card set.

BOOM! Mission Completed. Or was it completely yet. Come back tomorrow for an even bigger adventure I took in Psych.
