Monday, Nov. 9, 2015 Recap

Mint Press: A week since the last Mint Press! Topps may be having mercy on us. Today’s card drop is Darth Maul.

Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Day 10: Today’s Green variants #72 – Speeder Bike dash & #84 – Rey pilots her speeder.

Pack Inserts: Red Squadron

Digital Watercolors: The 3rd card in the set: Yoda. Even at 5000 count, the B&W is selling out day one. The Color variant seems to be in a weird spot at 750 count. They seem to be taking 2 or 3 days to sell out.

Crimson Base Variant: Ah the doomed R5-D4. You could have been a contender. At least you get to be the last card of Wave 3.

Del Rey Books: The latest card in this insanely popular set is Dark Disciple.

Spectrum/Black Base Variant: Grand Moff Tarkin.

Space Paintings Series 2: B-wings in flight.

Comic Pop Art: Ok, I was a fine art major in college so it makes sense that I totally get these. Pop Art was one of my favorite genres and Lichtenstein is a personal favorite artist of mine so of course I had to shell out the creds for this one. It’s a bit of a mash up between the quirky classic arts and film quotes which is aces. Today’s quote is, “The Force will be with you … always.”

and in other news…

If you were collecting the 1977 set then you undoubtedly know about the “missing card,” card #45 – The light sabre has been given out to those who completed the set and received the shelf award. Another one of those asterisk moments that collectors love. You can now complete your puzzles.
