A Chainsaw Massacre

As most kids watched PBS and other educational programs growing up, my mom always turned on the horror movies and I just happened to either be in the room or walk by when they were on. At that time, they had my attention. Yes, I watched many horrors when I was little but they had no effect on who I am today.

Actually, I don't even watch those kinda movies anymore because as I grew older I lost interest. Also helps that my wife isn't a fan. I am strictly comedy and a few action movies now.

So back to my story.

My mom was a big fan of 80's horror so movies like Friday The 13th, Halloween, Child's Play and Texas Chainsaw Massacre were among favorites as they had multiple sequels.

So when I saw that Pack War was hosting a contest on Halloween for some sketches he put together, I thought it would be pretty cool to own one just for another unique piece to my collection.

Well this one of Leatherface arrived this past weekend,

 

 

These movies always creeped me out the most. People hunting down people on deserted highways to eat and even wearing their skin for masks. *shutters*

 

A big thanks goes out to Pack War for the sketch. Pretty cool looking and wished I could have captured it better on here as the card is more impressive in person.

Great Trade With Pack War Blog

Last week or so, I received an email from Pack War Blog about a card I pulled in my Donruss Review break and he wondered if it was up for trade. I at first was hesitant as the card was cool, but then decided let's do this! So we began discussions to work out the trade and we came to an agreement pretty fast.

Friday he showcased on his blog what I sent that you can see HERE.

Now it's my turn to showcase what I got in return.

He has definitely read my blog many times as I can tell he knew exactly what I was interested in.

Up first, a unique Ryan Newman patch for my PC.

 

New Griffey adds! I hadn't ever seen the League Leaders before.

 

And now some new Rodney Hampton adds that he nicely went and picked up for me. This brings me to 410 different out of 800 or so. I am slowly creeping there!

 

Refractory.....

 

Now that he sent the Gold Shield, only the Silver Shield is missing.

 

FINALLY! I now own the Collectors Edge Pop Warner 22K gold parallel. This was the last one I needed. There were roughly 6 cards in all to find.

 

And to finish it up (not pictured for some reason was a 1995 Skybox Paydirt insert), a Score Red Siege Artist Proof. Now just missing one more Artist Proof from the set.

 

 

A very solid trade overall and hoping him and I can trade again. Highly recommend him as a trader.

 

Thoughts on my mail day or our trade is welcomed in comments and if you have any Hampton's collecting dust in your house, just check my WANTLIST and let me know!

Bloggers, Do I have You?

Hey guys,
This morning I was looking around at my traffic sources and noticed that one of the places I got traffic from was a blog called Pack War written by Corky. Then I realized, man, I don't have him on my blog list yet and he comments all of the time on mine! That can't happen!!! So Corky, you are now on my blog read list. I have checked out your blog, cool stuff and I look forward to new reads.

Now, I am wondering, how many of you am I missing that have me on yours? If I have missed you, please comment below with a link to your blog. If you are new to my blog and haven't added me, please do so and I will do the same. Please put that in comments as well along with your link. I am always looking for new reads and we are all one in this hobby.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and if you have any other thoughts to add, the floor is open to those as well.
