The Ghost Of Christmas Box Part 1

*sits down with a big stack of cards nearby, takes sip, gets ready for a new post on Cards Over Coffee*

I felt like the good version of Scrooge this Christmas season as my mail box was visited by three blogger mail days. 

I had the ghost of Christmas Box, the ghost of Christmas Card and the Ghost of Christmas Package.

For today's post, you will be visited by the last ghost, the Ghost Of Christmas Box which was sent by Wes who is famously known for the packages he sends.

And this one was such a whopper, I broke it up into four posts and didn't even come close to covering it all. I had to narrow it down to the like the Top 45ish and leave the rest for your imagination.

Let's get this fired up!

*takes a sip*

It all starts with this really cool shiny Star Wars card.

Then we move onto more Star Wars. This time it's Topps Tek. It's really tempting to want to chase this set or chase down more of these. They fit Star Wars perfectly.

Aren't those cool??!! Wes sent along some others as well but these ones stood out to me.

If you know me, you know my love for Fleer Metal Universe. I am still chasing all base sets of it for all three major sports. I want them all!!

If you have read any of my blogs the last thirteen years, you will know my love of Monopoly. I love that game. My grandmother and I played it constantly and it was a game I played with my friends growing up as well. It has been a constant in my life and will continue to be. So combining sports cards and Monopoly into one, win. Especially also these are Knicks and parallel cards of them!!

This parallel is really hard to show on here, but it's looks slick. And I am a big Marvel nerd now, just something else to add to my nerd alert.

(does the voice as typing this) Hey Chris, you like my Lightsaber?

 

And the final cards for today was a complete set of The Cat In The Hat. This movie is totally underrated as there is so much hidden adult humor and lines that I use every day. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. Then if you don't like it the first time like I didn't, watch it again. You will.

Well, that does it for Part 1. Part 2 will be coming up. As the parts go on, the better the cards will be shown.

Thanks for reading today and hope you enjoyed, *takes a sip*, a beverage with me as well.

Too Much To Post, Such Little Time

Last year, my biggest concern with blogging on here was not having enough content, this year, it's having time to post. With 35+ drafts waiting on me, I need to start to find some time to get these posted up.

Especially since I have some really cool mail days from friends to share.

So, grab a coffee (or your preferred beverage that should be coffee) and check out this massive ten PWE trade with blog reader and friend, Oren.

This is actually two separate trades we pulled off, I just didn't have the time to post the first one, so I combined them.

The first trade, 2 PWE's, had a variety of fun.

Die Cut Ivan Rodriguez. I haven't seen this card before.

I have seen one of these before. Another nice die cut.

I believe this is my first Diamond King like this. This is from 1995 and has quite the snazzy, jazzy 90's feel.

Another insert that I hadn't seen before. Oren must be digging deep to find these.

This was when Fleer Metal started to become the coolness it is known for now.

I do have a few of these, I think this card is lacking in shiny. The design looks nice but add some shine to it and it kicks it up some.

Then came some non-sport fun,

 

(other than one autograph, this is the only Family Guy card in my collection. which is sad because Family Guys first few seasons I loved)

The second mail day was a record breaker for not only us, but for me in general as it was my first 8 PWE trade. 

A couple more American Pie. I really need to finish up this set as I only have 10 or 11 more to go. I think I have both of these, but that's okay, I collect dupes from this set.

Next up was a TON of Skybox Marvel Metal. I hadn't seen any of this and didn't get to open any.

This will make the start of a great future set chase. I still need to work on gathering my set numbers first for all of my sets to update on here.

Thanks goes out to Oren for our latest trade! Looking forward to the next!

Well, this knocks down one post. Many more to go.

Thanks for coming out to read this one and hope you bring a cup of coffee (or your beverage choice which should be coffee) for the next one.
