I agree it is a kewl name... and I find nothing strange with a man being named Valentine since it is a mans name!

hi val valantine is a cool name

thanks guys! I had some teasing when I was younger, but have learned to embrace my name. I also know that CC has been on VMars and I might have to get the second season of that on DVD

I also need to get a box of the new Charmed set because CC has a card in that set too.

Love you guys!
Val

Post being moved to here...

I have been a member of Card Talk since April. I joined up for the "Open that Box Day" but failed to post until recently. I never introduced myself properly so here I go.

I go by the Name of Freeza but here I am known as Master. I have been buying and selling cards for quite a while. I am trying to make it a business but I also enjoy opening packs and boxes to see what kind of goodies I can get.

I have a cat I named Lord Vegeta. He is a cute & evil furball. I collect spaceships & models. I currently have a collection of the Star Wars Titanium ships including the Battlestar Galactica ones I can find. I also have a large collection of micromachines from Babylon 5, Star Trek, & Star Wars. I even have a few of the Johnny Lightning Star Trek ships.

I have a myspace page whit some of the artists as my friends. I admire their work. Maybe this will help someone with the secret santa as well.

Until Next time I rule the Empire!

Hello,

my name is Igor and i'm from germany. I'm 25 years old and i'm a student. I already have expierence in collecting trading cards (basketball). I realized that there are also a lot of TV and Movie Trading cards available, so i decided to start to collect some of these cards...i will focus on lost at the beginning because it's on of my favorite tv shows...

Welcome to NSU Igor!

Welcome aboard Igor,have fun and enjoy your stay here

This is a corner of the forum I'd not seen until now, so here goes.

My name is Ian, I am 33 years old and live in London, England. I grew up in Devon (south west England) and have lived in London for about 13 years this July.

I work in West End theatre marketing - for one of the two big players in the West End ad & promotion industry. I worked in West End theatre box office for many years, then for a ticket agent (broker) and now at my current job, which I've held for 2 years.

I live with my fiance Catherine in Shepherd's Bush (West London) and we own a small flat, with not nearly enough room for the comics, cards and books we collect.

I'm into comics (Spidey, and mainly Marvel - Daredevil, the old late 1960's Marvel reprint titles, and some indies like Strangers In Paradise, Fallen Angel, etc - just picked up issues 1-20 of Joss Whedon's X-Men title - wow!), good tv shows (Lost, Heroes, BSG, ER) and good UK dramas such as State of Play.

Obviously, the nature of my work means I see a huge amount of shows in the West End - we work on Dirty Dancing, Billy Elliot, the RSC, Kevin Spacey's Old Vic Theatre seasons, among others.

I have a mpspace page, and ebay id - both the same as here - bealay is a nickname from college, and (very very loosely) refers to an 'Eastenders' character, whom I have nothing in common with. It stuck, and mutated.

Card wants include a box of Complete Avengers, Chronicles of Riddick, Aliens Vs Predator and for cards, some of the Wizard of Oz prop cards (mainly because they are so iconic) and continuing to try for complete sets of the BSG card sets for the new series, the LOST seta, Angel, Hellboy, Firefly, Serenity and a few others.

I missed OTBD this year, as I had to work on a big RSC powerpoint presentation, and couldn't get to see my dealer until the next London Comic & Card Mart on Sun 29 April. Next year though...

Cheers

Hi... sorry I missed this part of the Board especially since I've been making myself such a pain in the butt about the new Charmed set.

My name is Holly - hollypop because my husband thought it was cute to call me that when I used lollipops to quit smoking.

I collect the Charmed sets and a few piece cards here and there. I'd love to get my holy grail cards but I now have a two month old baby so the money goes elsewhere now.

I buy boxes when I can and the best card I pulled was the Piper Pieceworks skirt redemption card. I was walking on air for a week! They are hard to find or are getting expensive. Yeah, I really have to justify spending alot of money on a single card nowadays or I'd have my Holly Marie Combs card by now- the first season autograph.

(edited cuz I sound like a complete idiot lol)

Nice to meet all of you!

Welcome Holly

Hi Holly. Welcome to card talk. Hope you're getting enough sleep (got 2 young 'uns myself).

Thanks for the welcome!

umm.. sleep? Oh yeah, that thing that happens between my Ebay finds that I'm bidding on and when my two sons settle in lol

I have never been able to buy boxes outright except for the occasional Charmed box but that meant for Buffy, I was out of luck. Now I'm finding cards that I didn't even know I wanted and the prices are fantastic!

anyway... it's nice to meet all of you and already I'm finding all of you so very helpful so I'm staying
