Hollywood Prospecting

One of the things the last few years I have found most thrilling about collecting celebrity autographs is the fact they don't have fluctuating values. It's not like they going to get hurt acting then be out for a season or be a top pick in a movie and completely disappoint. Well, I guess you could say that but they will be back again on top next time.

Not that value completely matters to me but it's nice to know if, IF, that day ever comes and you need to sell, that celebrity items stay pretty much level on what they are worth unlike sports cards. Overall to me though, value doesn't matter.

It's about the memories made by the cardboard, the person on it or the person I may had done the trade with.

My latest addition to my non sport PC has a couple of those things.

One thing, @Jake1725 has been really good to me. Both as a friend and as a trader. I have found some really great traders who will go above and beyond for me such as Jake.

Second thing, I don't quite remember what I was searching for, but somehow I found out that John Travolta had an autograph card and I knew at that moment, it was a goal to get one.

Well, because of Jake and the magic of trading, here it is! Such a beauty despite his not great signature!

Numbered 4/5 even on the back.

I watched John in quite a few films such as The Look Who's Talking trio, Face Off (one of my favorite films), Ladder 49, Wild Hogs (a great underrated film) and Old Dogs that was quite hilarious just to name a few. And before you ask, no I wasn't really a Grease or Saturday Night Fever fan. I know that may offend some.

A big thanks to Jake for landing currently the biggest autograph card I have in my non sports PC. Will there be another big add to it coming down the road? Time can only tell.

GREASEd Up My Non Sports PC

Today is the finale of my Twitch Collects Cards blog mail day. 

We will be tackling the non sport adds from my mail day. If you don't know by now, I have been really building up a non sport PC this summer. My best additions to it have yet to be shown. Wait til Christmas on that one. They have a theme...

But for today, let's check out what I got in my Twitch mail day.

Fans Of The Game Al Pacino.I think we all know his biggest role was in The Godfather saga. Still a saga I have yet to watch. I know, I know. He also had many other big roles as well including a movie I did see in Any Given Sunday.

Common is both a rapper and an actor. I don't listen to rap anymore and never heard any of his.  He has been in many movies as well but the only one I have seen is Just Wright. The love story between a physical therapist and an All Star basketball player. I actually enjoyed it more than it sounds mainly for the funny parts in the movie.

William Holden I never watched any movies of, but he was one of the biggest box office stars and draws in the 50s and 60s. I love adding classic Hollywood Legends such as Holden.

Reece is known for many things. Actress, professional volleyball player, sports announcer, fashion model and even was in ESPN's body issue. This card features a nice two color swatch of this all around gal.

Swimsuit Issues anyone? Here she is! Molly sims with a small swatch of clothing. My first relic of hers. I always wanted some of these PopCardz relic cards but never actually pulled the trigger on any. My biggest want from the set is Mandy Moore and I have my reasons for that and will explain if I ever get it. If you have one or see the card and wanna trade it to me, let me know!

and finally the biggest name of the group and one I was stoked about, John Travolta. This guy has been in hundreds of movies and lots of them I have seen. From Grease to Pulp Fiction to Face/Off, Look Who's Talking to Phenomenon, to so many others. I really liked Face/Off with Nicolas Cage.

Huge thanks to Twitch Cards again for the trade. I am hoping we can do this again!

As for the rest of you, let's hear your favorite or favorites for John Travolta in comments!
