Favorite Pick-ups JANUARY 2015

[Spider-Fan]

I didn't break any boxes this month (unless you count the Marvel Premier 2 group breaks), so all of my favorite pick-ups are sketch cards. I added quite few that I really like to my personal collection this month.


I had this Spider-Man sketch card on my watch list for years. YEARS!!! Anyway, it was marked down to reasonable price so I grabbed it.

My only AP commission from the Classic Mythology II set, and my first AP from Eric McConnell. He is awesome to work with and really knocked this Medusa out of the park!

Been wanting to add one of Dean Yeagle's sketch cards to my collection pretty much for as long as I've been collecting. Well... Finally had an opportunity to get one at a price I was okay with. Then another opportunity popped up a few weeks later and I couldn't pass it by. When it rains, it pours? One Suzette and one Mandy for your viewing pleasure :)

Honorable mentions this month. A pair of Beauty & the Myth sketch cards: James 'Bukshot' Bukauskas and Lak Lim. Love the gorgon, and... Damn! Look at the detail Lak put into that card. Also a Black Cat from the lovely Danielle 'Soloud' Gransuall and my Hallowe'en AP from Alexis Sarah Hill.

Net exactly non-sports cards, but so so related... I've been on an original trading card art kick ever since I got that Dastick for my Christmas. Added this Amber Shelton (Perna Studios Classic Mythology) and Juri Chinchilla (Perna Studios Spellcasters, finished digitally) to my growing collection this month. Have my eye of a few more for February. Both are 8.5x11.

So, between December and January I have an actual collection now. 2 Wardrobe and 6 autographs... and the one chase set :P Connor Jessup is a little young, but since he's really making Falling Skies for me he gets to be a Rookie in my Hot Guy collection. I'd seriously considered trying to pass on the Manu Bennett card because so far all of my pickups have been a lot more <$15, but the picture they chose sealed that deal. Can't regret it >_>

Honorable mention goes to my new hard drive, since my computer crash ate any other discretionary spending money I had -_-

[nabzy28]

Can't miss an opportunity to give props to TWO amazing boardies - Tim Proctor (for the art) and GUCD (for the booklet).

My only other sketch addition was the Meghan Hetrick right after New Years.

Love those GOTG autos!

Slow month, but this vintage Rocket Raccoon "card" came up on my eBay search. Not bad for a $6 purchase! First appearance of Rocket Raccoon?

Got a few boxes of Smallville various seasons and picked up some autographs and pieceworks cards. Allison Mack the best Smallville card barely ever surfaces anywhere. There were 10 boxes to a case of Smallville season 1 and I think 1/10 odds for all the autographs. Weird why this one seems so hard to come by?
Got all the good ones and only need some common autographs to have a master set.

[Spider-Fan]

This was delivered today, and it definitely deserves a spot on my list.

[aggie4ever]

Great pickups gokuss! I had noticed that the Tony Perna incentive sketches have been getting bid up pretty high lately, congrats on picking up 2 of them!

Thanks, I really wanted the Perna Angela incentive but I got out bid.

[joepep]

That Phoenix card is awesome

[thuy]

I could never pay for a Star Wars Harrison Ford Auto at the prices that they go for so I think this is the only way that I would get an on card auto. Couldn't pass it up at the price that it was offered to me.

I've been a big fan of Dana Delany since China Beach, so glad to finally add this to the PC!

There are so many nice cards in this thread! Congratulations everyone.

Here is my best pick-up for January. I got it as part of a big trade with a dealer friend of mine. When I first saw this lovely lady in his binder, I noticed that her had her priced way too low. He thought it was drawn by a different artist, but I told him that it was by Axebone, a popular artist to saw the least. The dealer is a good guy and I didn't want someone taking advantage the fact that artists can be hard to identify sometimes. Luckily for me, we settled on a fair trade value. I only have a few cards by Axe, so I was really happy to get this beautiful Black Cat.
