Coffee With Karen Gillian

Coffee is ready and I have a card as hot as my coffee.

Hoping you are sitting down for the newest #CardsOverCoffee.

If you read any of my blog posts in 2023, you would have seen that I have grown into quite the Marvel fan watching almost every movie last summer.

One of my favorite franchises in the Marvel movie series was Guardians Of The Galaxy. The mix of humor, action and some incredible scenery caught my attention.

Which is why I started collecting the cards from the movie, especially of Nebula who is one of my favorite characters from the films. I also like Star Lord and Drax.

Nebula is the adopted daughter of Thanos, the main villain of the Avengers series. Nebula was originally a supervillain who fought against the Avengers, but later joined the Guardians of the Galaxy to fight against evil including Thanos.

In the movie, Nebula is portrayed by Karen Gillian who I knew previously from the new Jumanji movies. Which I really enjoyed those movies as well and can quote from them.

So, I have been wanting to add her autograph to my collection as a centerpiece for my Nebula PC (and because of Jumanji) and finally found someone on Twitter who had one for trade.

@BeantownChris91 posted this card for sale on the weekly non-sport thread hosted by @TGNCards. Not having any funds, I inquired about the card to see if there was any chance of a trade which he was happy to do.

With a blink of an eye, I was able to add this to my collection.

Back of the card.

Thanks to @BeantownChris91 for the smooth easy trade transaction.

There are still other autographs I would love to add to my collection from the Guardians, but the prices are out of my range, and I don't ever find too many people who have them for trade.

But as I learned with this Nebula add, it doesn't hurt to keep chasing because maybe you will catch a break.

Guardians In My Collection

*freezing cold temperatures means a nice cup of hot coffee and some cards*

My latest trade mail day with @levy2628 made me realize that I hadn't posted any of my Marvel Guardians Of The Galaxy relics yet on here. 

As I put in my last Marvel post, Guardians is my favorite trilogy in the Marvel movie series. It's got a great mixture of visuals, adventure and comedy.

There are also a lot of characters that grow on you. 

One of mine was Nebula. I can't explain why, but her personality really made me like her character. (this card I acquired in the trade with @Levy2628)

Which is why I started a side PC of her, this is by far my favorite card of hers. These Infinity Stone relics are super cool and I want more!

I wasn't sure how I was going to like an CGI character with humans in a movie since I wasn't a fan in the of past of such combinations, but it didn't bother me in this movie and Rocket was a fun one. (this card I acquired in the trade with @Levy2628)

Speaking of CGI, how can you not like Groot? (the part of the card in the window section is made of metal)

And by far my favorite character of the movies was Drax. He was downright hilarious. Kind of reminds me of me, except I am far from being built like his body type and he isn't holding a cup of coffee in this photo.

Thanks goes out to @Levy2628 for our latest trade. I look forward to the next one!

This is all I have right now for my Guardians collection other than a few inserts and an almost base set from the first movie.

I am always looking to add more as there is a lot more to chase. An autograph would be nice as well, especially a Nebula one.

I hope everyone has a magnificent Monday.
