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.

The Sensei Delivers

Recently my trades with @DJSeneseiNJ have been blind ones. Meaning, he sends me stuff I don't know about and I return the same. These type of trades can be fun with certain people but tough with others. These type of trades require collectors of the same personality to pull off a good one. You wanna go into it with the mindset that you don't want to under-send the other guy. If both collectors go into approach it that way, things will work out just fine and both traders will be happy.

That's the way I think both @DJSeneseiNJ and I approached our latest one.

A new Odell for the PC. Interesting how the tats show off in the Fire design. I never cared much for the Fire design after the first release. That one was pretty epic.

Davis Webb. Is he the future of the Gmen, it sounds like it somedays.

Saquon! Finally landed the Score rookie. I busted 10 Dollar Tree packs, 1 blaster and one hanger and never found this card. Now I finally have a copy.

Kyle Lauletta. Finally have his Score rookie as well.

3 New Odell Bechams. I like that sideline shot of Odell. Glad they chose one like that and not one of his crazy rant ones.

Wayne Gallman I didn't have. I haven't even busted any Rookies and Stars since Panini made it a Target exclusive.

More Odell doing what he does best.

Four cards of former Giants who didn't pan out.

Eli! Big season ahead.

Some cool Eli inserts including a Crown Royale numbered one

2018 NY Giants secondary minus DRC. I was hoping the Giants would bring him back under a less salary. He still played well last year.

Sweet new Andre Williams for that PC. I haven't been focusing on adding his cards as much as of late but adding a sweet one and

this one, a mini camo refractor, still get me excited.

I went from having no Wayne Gallman autographs for the first few months of last season to having quite the few. I think people have completely lost faith in the guy now that Barkely is on board. I haven't. I saw what he did last year. This is a pretty sweet add in my opinion as it's two color and from a favorite brand in Certified.

Eli! I believe in Eli!

I have heard this guy has looked really good in camp. I hope so. He will be needed in the middle of that new schemed defense.

And finally, a nice Gold Standard relic. I really like the relic cards from this product. Actually I like the whole product.

 

Another solid mail day offering from @DJSenseiNJ! Big thanks goes out to you for this great mail day!

Mail day month of July continues. There was just so much to show especially a huge mail day from the great Wes. That one may take a week or two itself! Stay tuned for more to come!

Who You Gonna Call?

GHOSTBUSTERS!!!

Thanks to @DJSeneseiNJ I was able to knock off another one of my cards on my want list but more on that in a second.

Ever since the conclusion of my Psych autograph set chase for seasons 5-8, I have been debating what my next project may be to tackle. I still want to finish up Psych season 1-4 autograph set with only 6 left I need, but I can't find them all and they are all listed pretty high for the ones I can. So in the meantime, I have been scoping out some Ghostbusters cards. I really like the product as a whole and collecting the Slime cards would be a fun set or the animation cells would be as well even though they would never be a set because they are all 1/1.

The autograph set would be pretty awesome, but could be costly unless I can find some traders that can help.

That's where today's post comes into play as @DJSeneseiNJ traded me two of the harder finds in the set.

Up first,  Jason Reitman who played Brownstone Boy and made a sarcastic remark about the Ghostbusters being out of business in the second movie. Jason's father is Ivan Reitma who was the director of the Ghostbusters films.

 

Up next, the big whammy of the whole set, Dan Aykroyd. This may be the best card in my collection.

 

 I was so stoked we were able to work out a deal for this one. I had this one on my want list in general as I enjoyed Dan in Ghostbusters but many, many other films as well.

 

Here is where I stand so far with my autograph set for Ghostbusters. The ones crossed off I have which is not much as there are still many needs!! So I am officially on a hunt for them.

• AH Arsenio Hall as Winston Zeddemore
• AP Annie Potts as Janine Melnitz
• BB Bobby Brown as Mayor’s Doorman
• BS Ben Stein as Public Works Official
• DA Dan Aykroyd as Dr. Raymond Stantz
• DC Dave Coulier as Dr. Peter Venkman
• DF Dave Florek as Cop
• EH Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddemore
• HY Harris Yulin as Judge Stephen Wexler
• IR Ivan Reitman-Director
• JR Jason Reitman as Brownstone Boy
• JRO John Rothaman as Library Administrator
• JRU Jennifer Runyon as College Student
• KF Kurt Fuller as Jack Hardemeyer
• LK Larry King as Himself
• LS Laura Summer as Janini Melnitz
• ME Michael Ensign as Hotel Manager
• ML Maurice LaMarche as Dr. Egon Spengler
• WA William Atherton as Walter Peck  

A big thanks goes out to @DJSeneseiNJ for yet again another great trade. I hope you enjoy what I sent in return as much as I enjoyed this package. I look forward to our next one.

On another note, I will be updating this project as I go. I don't expect it to be easy, but I hope I can manage to pull it off somehow.
