Ok guys, introducing card 4 in the Topps is a Disg-Race to the GPK Brand Series - Parallel PAUL. Obviously the borders are more important than the art, right? Man you are knocking this s**t out of the park!! Brilliant!!! These are so awesome, you are truly a national treasure.

So much drama with this pickup, so glad worked out for you. Besides me it couldn't go to a better home and very happy you decided to share. Now comes the tough part, the frameup.

I actually stopped watching for a while when they got the prison all fixed up and running smooth then the sick guy coughs in the water supply at the end of the episode. I just wanted them to be safe and sound for a while, at least in my head.

What awesome pickups!!! So jelly about Stu but it's great hands. You really built up a mega collection in no time. So cool to see all this come together. Probably have a better chance of Pound painting you a new one than getting the original Hidden Heidi but anythings possible in this hobby. Did you just say "jelly" At first I thought you abused your mighty admin power to edit my post. But then I realized I drank a ton of sake last night so.....yeh. Could have been worse.

you are right, it PROBABLY wouldnt hold water in court....but most folks cant afford all the lawyer fees to protect themselves in these scenarios. we're talking BOATLOADS of cash, big companies know this, that's why they do it. they know they have the bankroll to tie somebody up for a year while they sink them financially whether topps would win or not they ultimately WIN in the big picture scenario. financially crippling the other party. topps is flat out garbage, and i dont miss collecting their bullshlt. GIVES ME MORE MONEY FOR CHEAP TOYS. this message brought to you by the foundation to make people start collecting cheap toys 30 years later. You make some very good points. Even rich companies and individuals suffer under these costs. Also, your spot on about the length of time and the very questionable outcome that awaits. Hustler, MAD Magazine, and many others have all fought these at different times, and it seems rather ad hoc. Here's an interesting source I browsed over and found interesting: www.firstamendmentcenter.org/parody-satireQuote from that site: Fair use: An elusive doctrine Even though 2 Live Crew and Alice Randall (at the preliminary injunction stage) prevailed in the federal courts, both cases required extensive litigation. Courts will decide the application of the fair-use doctrine on a case-by-case basis. The concept of fair use is flexible and hard to define. “Although the courts have considered and ruled upon the fair use doctrine over and over again, no real definition of the concept has ever emerged,” said the 11th Circuit opinion in The Wind Done Gone case. For this reason, Professor Jessica Litman, in the Dayton Law Review article “Reforming Information Law in Copyright’s Image,” calls fair use “a troublesome safe harbor for First Amendment rights.” I take all that as you read Hustler for the articles.

For the first time the TV show has surpassed the comic in gore. Holy s**t that was brutal. Only 1 death by vampire bat in the comic (Issue 100). I don't want to post any spoilers but I'm afraid for the future of the guy that punched Negan in the face. "Don't kill him until you've had a try". I can only inagine what that means..... 😵 Too soon? Too soon man lol. You are freaking brutal 😮

Sad part is the threat is enough to scare people off. Not sure they would win in a court battle, parody of a parody?

That thing to the left of DTAB is just an eyesore man, get rid of that trash. Admittedly anything next to THE grail that is DTAB will look like crap, but that painting is especially horrendous.

thought this was too cool not to share and put on my collection page. sketched out by my buddy, mike mchugh (aka the casio kid). a damn close rendition of my muggly self hahah Everything I've seen up to this point in my entire life has been derivative trash. But this.......I'm stunned. This exemplifies the duality of man as never before. The eyes hold the horrors of a sadist with the innocence of a child. Its all of us, staring out, hoping, yearning while stuffed and mounted on a wall, our fears and vulnerabilities on display for the world to see. The horrors I've seen, the greatness I've achieved, all struggles and triumphs just to be brought here, this gruesome display. Is it adoration, or ridicule? This piece truly captures the question of humanity's existence and where we go from here.

This is an outrage!!! They only chose one of my finals for series 2? I'm hurt. I really hope they make the boxes blue though.

I'm trying to see if I have any boxes in my collection that might make the grade for "Mr. Mint"....maybe 2 lol.

It's hard to top these new boxes brothas! I grade them an unofficial 10 on the super-duper anal retentive CaliAgents grading scale. Going back in time to grab some GPK boxes fresh off the factory floor probably isn't the best use of a time machine but its up there. They are so minty its makin me sick. Epic score.

Sorry to disappoint but the seller and i have finished intense negotiations so i can bring this relatively common error home! Looks like i'm paying the asking price.... but i'll get free shipping!!! (instead of the 2.45 he was asking). How dare you!!!! This was my grail and you swiped it out from under me I was going to do a 5 layer matte with a bright yellow frame, have the card framed with the wrapper, 2 versions of the regular card, the box cover, a side of the shipping case and a picture of me holding the card. Today my dream has died and its all because of you. How do you sleep at night?

what a crazy movie lol, have to watch this now since seeing the funny reviews I was surprised to see they made Samurai cop 2 through kick starter. Did you have a chance to watch Samurai cop 2? Is that worth getting? ✌🏻️ Samurai Cop 2 is a pretty decent bad movie, so worth checking out, but not nearly the level of the first one. The main difference is with Samurai Cop they were trying to make a good movie and every aspect happened to be a complete and total failure. The entire movie is full of unintentional comedy due to poor editing, writing, horrible framing (paper mache lion??), terrible delivery. In part 2 they knew they were making a s**t film so its less organic, they are fully aware of how bad this will be. The original director, writer, producer dude (now deceased) was trying to make a masterpiece so his failures come off funnier. Some funny stuff about Samurai Cop (I know way too much about this movie and I don't get to talk about it much so indulge me a bit lol) 6 months after they finished shooting they called Joe back for some re-shoots and he cut his hair really short. So they got him this terrible wig, also he didn't know that the re-shoots happened to be about 1/3 of the movie. Another great part is all the reaction shots for Frank (his partner) were filmed separate from the scenes and he had no idea what he was reacting too. Good example is when the guys arm gets chopped off Frank reacts like he stepped in gum. Anyway I'm rambling now, I'll leave with this, both movies are on Amazon Prime have at it

I don't think that the colorful metal frames I use on GPK work for very much else. They are popy and bright and 80s so metal color frames just kind of work for me. Here is a cleaned up version
