What!?!? Nice pull. . . wish I had that kind of luck! Great job, Don!

Jon

Thanks Jon - I thought this would be my best pull from these, wondered if I should stop when I was ahead.
i doubt I'll be collecting the whole set, at $25 pack.

But went into the card shop today, and there they were just sitting there...
3 base cards, Bo Hopkins, Donna Pescowand Grayson Boucher
1 proof -Fred Gragory (astronaut) 11/100

1 autograph Larry Hagman cut auto
says "Larry Hagman, Maj. Nelson" 17/20

Isn't anyone else gonna buy some of these?

Grabbed two great boxes!

Box 1:

Richard Gordon auto/relic /99
Tab Hunter auto 01/20
John Wayne relic /499
Natalie Wood relic /49
Eric Roberts Gold Proof /50
Ralph Macchio Silver Proof /100

Box 2:

Justin Bieber auto /299
Grayson Boucher auto /799
Carole Lombard relic /499 (front missing foil, imprint is there though)
Charlie Chaplin relic /499
Daniel Baldwin Silver Proof /100

Ted, glad someone else is buying some of these! I think the Astronaut auto and John Wayne materials card are your best pulls.

I have been picking up a couple of these over the last few days... got 2 Hobby packs and a Retail Blaster box.

In the Hobby packs:
Scott Schwartz auto 13/99
Co-Stars Materials card Lee Merriwether/ Rock Hudson 40/49
james Dean Matinee Legends card

In the Retail box:
Movie Posters Relic, Vivian Leigh Materials card, 319/499
Ingrid Bergman Matinee Legends card
39 base cards

The retail cards look nice, not all foil like the hobby cards, but still have name in gold foil, I like them better than hobby base cards. The Movie posters card is nicely done with a piece of black velvet on back. the co-stars materials card is nice, but has a slight ding on side, I'm considering sending it back.

Overall, a nice set, well worth picking up a few. Ted - if you get any duplicates, bring them to the Chicago show, we'll swap.

The Bieber is an $80-$100 card right now! Kind of glad it's someone I don't care about, won't think twice about letting that one go so a nice return.

All of my base and standard inserts I'm willing to let go of. If I remember when I get home I'll be sure to pack them up to bring.

I'm hoping to trade something off for the Bettie Page Matinee Legends relic.

Picked up 2 retail "blaster" boxes today:

Many base cards
Matinee Legends - Ginger Rogers
Prime Time Stars - Pam Anderson
Screen Gems - Josie Davis
Screen Gems - Noureen DeWulf
Movie Poster Relic - Gregory Peck Material 218/499
Movie Poster Combo Relic -
Anthony Quinn/Dorothy Lamour Material 170/499

No, it just says it's from an item that was personally worn by her. I doubt many, if any, of these pieces are from movies unless they specifically say so.

Grabeed another half dozen retail "blaster" boxes:

Matinee Legends - Peter Sellers, Dorothy Lamour
Prime Time Stars - Milo Ventimiglia, Leslie Nielsen, Josie Davis
Screen Gems - Josie Davis, Selma Blair, Robert Carradine
Silver Proof - Peter Vanderkaay 21/100
Gold Proof - John Buccigross 39/50
Movie Poster Relic - James Cagney Material 432/499
Movie Poster Relic - Natalie Wood Material 291/499
Movie Poster Relic - Katharine Hepburn Material 119/300
Movie Poster Combo Relic - Bob Hope/Dorothy Lamour Material 285/499
Matinee Legends - Gene Tierney Material 243/499
Matinee Legends - Hedy Lamarr Material 333/499

Unless Target gets some more blasters I may be done with this.
I plan on putting together a trade list once I get the base
cards sorted.

Greg

Greg, let me know if you need any. I am down to needing 8 cards for a base set.
I have been collecting both hobby and retail cards, so my set is mixed. Besides Target, I have seen retail packs with just base cards, no inserts, at Dollar Tree.

This set is crazy - they have used some images from past sets, and at least three of the people in this set have passed away, Corey Haim, David Carradine, and Leslie Neilsen, but only Haim is mentioned as deceased. Carradine died quite a while ago. Guess they still have some relics and signed stickers from these guys.

Hey Don,
I'll drop you a note in a couple days. I picked 2 more blaster boxes
that I have to go through.
Greg

OK...last 2...probably...

Matinee Legends - Ginger Rogers
Prime Time Stars - Chris Noth
Screen Gems - Robert Carradine
Silver Proof - Josie Davis 99/100
Movie Poster Relic - Mary Astor Material 157/499
Movie Poster Relic - Elizabeth Taylor Material 162/250
