Original ArtworkSketch cards are what got me back into trading card collecting as an adult. That has grown, and I've even picked up a couple pieces of original trading card artwork.

Trading CardsGot back into collecting when Flashback 2 was out. Trying to stay current and go backwards a little. Original Series (1985-1988)Not much so far. Some OS1-OS6 from my childhood, but no complete sets. Definitely planning to fill in the gaps in the OS3 and OS4 sets, at the least.  Started picking up sealed packs. Here is what I have so far Not sure I'm willing to spend the money for 1-3, especially considering everything I have read about resealing packs and other scams. Will definitely eventually pick up 14-16.            All New Series (2003-2007)I got nothin'. Maybe one day? Flashback (2010-2011)I've got a complete mini-master set of all the base and insert cards, except a couple of the bonus cards and Loco-Motion cards from Flashback 1. I've also got a couple near rainbows. I'll post up some pictures soon. Flashback 3 Fryin' Ryan complete rainbow - Fryin' Ryin is one of my favorite characters from the series.  Flashback 3 Bony Tony complete rainbow - This one could end up for sale or trade one day.  Brand New Series 2012-2013 Display binders holding cards 1a-194a and 1b-194b so I can thumb through them and enjoy the art and the gags whenever I feel like it. A complete mini-master set sleeved and stored in a box, including: 1a/b-194ab (white boarder), B1a/b-B24a/b, Adam Bomb Through History 1-10, Adam Bombing 1-10, GPK Sticker Scenes 1-10, GPK Mix & Match 1-10, Foldees 1-10, Glow In The Dark 1-10, BNS1 Loco-Motion 1-10, BNS2 3D 1-10, BNS3 Loco-Motion 1-10, and P1 promo card. I also picked up Neil Camera's concept art for the BNS1 April Showers Loco-Motion card from Topps Vault on ebay.  I know I'm not the only one who does this, but I like to keep at least one empty box and wrapper for my collection. It took me a while to figure out a good way to incorporate the boxes into binders, but I finally found something I'm happy with.   I've got 5 pages, each with an empty box and the wrapper that goes along with it. The boxes are flattened and loose in the page. The wrapper has a small piece of double sided tape on it to hold it in place. I was pretty bummed when I noticed the BNS2 hobby box I saved had the wings cut off. Must have been the one from the hobby store. Can't seem to find my BNS3 empty bonus boxes, but they are around here somewhere! Chrome (2012-?)I've got complete base and atomic refractor sets. I'm four cards short of a complete pencil art set. I'll post up some pictures soon.

Nice collection. I am still trying to figure out what character that Zapata sketch is from. I first thought it was Broad MAUD/Large MARGE from OS3 but she has cake and ice-cream in her hands, not a cup of something.

A month has gone by and I'm still overdue to update my collection. I still haven't picked up a box/case of 2014s1 and I haven't even thought about picking up a fake Japanese box. I've been picking up small lots of sealed packs/wrappers/cards/boxes/posters from OS releases. I'm trying to put together a complete OS wrapper variation set and working on sealed pack, empty box, and display poster sets. Doubt I'll ever get OS1 for any of those though. I did pick up this relic from Topps Vault. The Godzilla parody was always one of my favorites so I was thrilled to win this auction within my budget. First piece of its kind for my collection, but hopefully there will be more  |

Picked up a case of 2014 Series 1 when in went on sale for $320. Didn't realize sketches were less than 1:case so I was pretty happy to hit one with about 10 packs to go. Sadly, 4th hobby case I've busted and still no color sketches or plates. Really like the sketch, although I wish it was a standard and not a die cut. Wrappin' Ruth / Tommy Tomb by John Cebollero. |

Well... I bought my first GPK sketches on ebay. Seems the price has come WAY DOWN compared to the last couple releases. At $25/each, I couldn't pass up these three Mark Pingatore sketches (at less than 1/case... I thought that was a steal!) 2014S2 Smelly Sally / Fishy Phyllis, BNS3 Jolly Roger / Pegleg Peter, 2014S2 Ailin' Al / Mauled Paul  |

Haven't been a regular around here for a bit since the baseball themed set didn't interest me. It's convention season now though, and I just checked in to post my newest piece of original GPK artwork - Fryin' Ryan on a GPK Puketakular blank variant by Joe Simko. Got this one done at the Philly NSCS two weeks ago in Allentown PA. Joe was great, as usual. Would have preferred he left off the "Jason Rox", but I understand why he put it on there even though I have no plans to resell this gem  I also left Joe with a blank Captain America comic for Steve Rotters, to complete my little GPK Avengers set! Would have loved to get a cover done by Mark at the Wizard World Philly show last weekend, but his posted prices went up quite a bit compared to the one I got had done at the show last year so I decided to pass. Was super excited to check in today and see that FSV is coming soon! Sweet |

Been a long time since I posted. Thought you guys might enjoy my latest edition from the Philly Non-Sport Trading Card show this past weekend.  Also picked up two sets of the exclusive GPK/WP set. Got one set signed by all of the artists (except Neil, who had to cancel) and left the other one virgin. |
