WandaVision

I can't believe that another month has almost gone by in 2024. I would say April was by far the fastest month yet. If I look out my window and see snow all over again because it's Christmas already, I may cry.

Even though I love Christmas, I just need some green grass and sunshine first.

To celebrate another month gone by, I thought I would share what possibly is and what might be my biggest mail day of 2024 thus far.

It's time for some cards and some coffee.

*takes a sip*

@ChrisParksIT and I have done multiple trades on Twitter, but none like this one.

Chris noticed that I have been really into collecting Marvel cards, so he inquired if I was interested in any WandaVision cards since he had opened a case of the Upper Deck product.

I have never seen the Disney+ series but know the characters from the Marvel movies I watched. So of course I was interested.

And after a few days of searching, we were able to come to a deal. Chris is very easy to trade with which is great.

He passed along an entire base set, stack of parallels (roughly 100+), a couple of autographs, some film cel relics and a hobby box. Yes, a hobby box. Which I believe is my first hobby box break of 2024 and my first opening of anything since Series 1 released.

This is the base set that I need to binder still.

The Purple and Red parallels fall one-per-pack. They look super cool against the black and white base set pictures. There was almost a complete set of each so I may need to write down what I am missing and finish them.

Wanda's Reality are unique thick acetate insert cards. I think these only fall a couple per case.

This may not look like many Film Cel relics, but it actually is. One of these stacks is actually a complete 6-card set. The others have two or three towards its 6-card set.

Evan Peters autograph. He has played in a variety of TV shows and Movies over his career including Marvel and the Dahmer mini-series.

Fred Melamed played in a variety of TV and Movies, nothing that I have really seen. But when I take the chance to watch this series I will have seen him in something.

Some really cool items added to my Marvel PC thanks to this trade.

But this wasn't everything. I still had that hobby box to open.

Here were the results. A Green parallel /99, a Film Cel (that I didn't have above) and another Wanda's Reality to go with the others. I may have to chase that set as well.

Thanks goes out to Chris for another great trade.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

I think after hauling all of this in, that I need to do an Unfinished Cup to sum up all of my needs or most likely do them separately because it's easier to track that way.

I feel after looking through these cards that I need to watch the series now as well. First, I will have to finish up my last couple of movies to catch up there.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday and last day of April.

In comments, tell me what the highlight of April was for you or simply tell me what the big plans for May are. Or comments on today's cards of course or if you have watched WandaVision.

Parks And Recreation

It's been over a week since the last post on here, I suppose it's time for some Cards and some Coffee.

I have both next to me, so let's get this party going!

*takes a sip*

I get a lot of TV show suggestions time after time and most of them don't hit home. One of those in particular is The Office. I just can't get into it even though it's loved by all.

However, another show with the same kind of premise, I recently really got into recently.

That show is Parks and Recreation. 

The show ran for 7 seasons from 2009-2015 and takes place in a Parks and Recreation office led by Leslie Knope who is played by Amy Poehler. The cast is really solid and works well together as you watch relationships build and the comedy rolls on with the situations they are placed in. Along with Poehler, the cast consists of Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Rob Lowe, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt to name a few. There were also some guest stars as well.

So far, I have only made it halfway through season 2, so no spoilers in comments please! But I have enjoyed every episode all the way from the start.

*takes a sip, thinks about putting on an episode while typing this up but knows the article won't get done if that was the case*

*takes another sip*

After getting into the show, I remembered that back in 2013 Press Pass created a Parks and Recreation card set. I wasn't into the show then when I opened a box and had no idea who or what the show was, but now I do and now I want the cards.

So, a chase happened.

I do have a couple autographs and relics I will show another time, but I wanted to chase the base set and silver parallel set as well.

After weeks of posting on Twitter that I was looking for said sets, I finally had someone replied and we pulled off a trade.

Included in my portion of the trade was an almost complete base set, missing card #6.

 

And roughly an almost complete silver parallel set. I will have to write those numbers down sometime.

 

 

 

I will have to do an Unfinished Cup at some point on this set.

If any of you have any kicking around and want to check in with what I need, just drop me an email at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.

Thanks again to @wolf_and_saint for the trade. I hope you enjoyed what I sent as much as I enjoyed what you sent.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

I have also gotten a few other mail days recently as well and will be posting those soon too along with a few other special posts.

Hope everyone has been drinking their coffee during my hiatus on here and saying cheers while waiting for my return.

Have a great Monday.
