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.

Fireworks Sent By Wes!

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

I am not sure what my plans are for the day, probably will involve some grilling if the weather is right, but I hope you have a great/safe holiday.

Today I will be remembering my grandfather who served in World War 2. I never got to meet him and only have pictures to know him by. The War took many lives including his when he got home from war with PTSD. Some day I wished I could find more answers on what he did when he served and anymore details about him. My grandmother has long passed as well and my father doesn't like to speak much about it which I don't blame him.

But, enough with that.

Recently Wes former JBF, former Area 40 and now with a new blog,The Last PC- Where the Big Boys Play sent me some goodies. Some explosive fireworks.

They were wrapped inside of a Priority Bubbler, which I think is the cheapest/best way to mail right now, and then hidden in bubblers on the inside.

I couldn't decide which one to open first so I busted open a Sticky Mystery....

 

Whoa! Super coooooooooooooool. Ectoplasm slime! I think it said also a figure inside. I will probably bust open two and keep one sealed. I never saw these locally.

Then came the card one....

 

Right off the bat, 1998 Ultra Peyton Manning!! Wooo. Someone reads my want list. Now I just need to get the Peyton from Series 1. This was a big surprise.

The next two cards I knew were coming at some point. Wes graciously helped me with my Ghostbusters Slime set. And yes, before you ask, I really do owe him my life. But I will hit him back with some "sweet" stuff don't you fret.

These slime cards do not pop up often and are extremely rare.

With these two in hand, only...

One more to go for the set. Which spoiler, I do have but it's not quite here yet. When it arrives, I will be sure to post them all together.

Thanks goes out to Wes once again for the awesome mail day. You are a great friend and always remember I got your back as well.

Once again, I hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day. Don't do anything I wouldn't do, which is pretty much everything but sitting and eating, so yeah. Take care and remember our fallen soldiers who fought hard for what we have today.

BY THE WAY...NEW POST OVER AT CARDS OVER COFFEE!! Please check it out and add it to your blogroll people!

Busting These Down Makes Me Feel Good

As everyone by now knows, there is something strange going on in my card collecting neighborhood as I have been spending my 2020 trying to complete the master set from Cryptozoic's Ghostbusters product.

2016 Cryptozoic Ghostbusters cards is more than just about the first movie, it covers other parts of the Ghostbusters universe by bringing in the Real Ghostbusters Cartoon along with the IDW comics as well. A lot of fun for the fans in this one. I just wished they had brought a few more of the bigger signers in and some of the second movie which got no love in this set. My hope is that they will come out with a second series at some point.

I have so far completed the autograph set, the base and all five chase insert sets and have begun working on the memorabilia sets and parallel sets.

Unlike Psych that I completed the whole master set of, the Ghostbusters one will be near impossible to ever completely finish. The cards have started to diminish on eBay and other sites and the odds for what I have left to chase weren't easy hits.

I have completed some though and have found a few others towards my sets and thought it would be fun to show off some of those recent adds.

The coolest "hit" set within the product is the Totally Fabricated Slime cards. There is only 6 in the set but they fell tough at 1:200 packs.

Fortunately,  I found two recently but still only have half of the set and from what I can tell, no others have been listed in.....FOREVER.

 

Standard Ectoplasmic Discharge which is card number one in the set

Class 7 Ectoplasmic Discharge is the final card in the set.

Once again, other than the autographs from the product, those are my favorite cards. Cryptozoic did a great job overall in building this product properly.

Here are my remaining needs if any of you see them in the wild

• Cryptozoic Ghostbusters Totally Fabricated Slime Card S2 
• Cryptozoic Ghostbusters Totally Fabricated Slime Card S3  
• Cryptozoic Ghostbusters Totally Fabricated Slime Card S5

Falling at 1:96 packs are the Totally Fabricated Patch Cards. These weren't too hard to complete as I bought a lot that contained all but two of the cards pretty cheap.

Stantz

 

Then is the binder exclusive Rookie Patch that finishes up my 9 card set

BOOM THAT GHOST IS CONTAINED!

Along with autographs, slime and patch cards there were also parallel cards to all base and inserts. Those weren't going to be easy to find as well.

 

First, I needed the foil parallel to the base set. Worked out a deal with a guy and landed it without giving up my soul. There are 54 cards in this parallel set and they fell 1:4 packs.

Tricks And Traps foil set. Same odds as the base.

Behind the Scenes foil set

And Quotes Foil set.

I still have two more foil insert sets to find in Sing For Your Specter and Character Bios. Hopefully they will pop up as a completed set at some point so I wouldn't have to try and piece it together. There is also a Tricks and Traps Cryptomium set which is basically a chromed version of that insert.

What I haven't mentioned yet is the 1/1 sketch cards and 1/1 Animation Cel cards that are also in the product. When it comes to those, I don't consider them apart of the main chase as they are 1/1's. You're never going to get ALL of those. So, when it comes to those, I will just try to add what I can when I can. The main chase is the ones I need above. So far I only have one Animation Cel and two sketch cards.

Oh yea, there are 1/1 printing plates to.

I knew what I was taking on when I decided to make the chase for this product. I think at some point the parallel sets will be found so it basically will be if I can find the remaining three slime cards which may never happen and I will just have to deal with it cause WHO AM I GOING TO CALL?
