Its been a few days since i last posted, and i just woke up - so i thought id put up some posts today and i figured id start with this world :)
I was going through one of my photobucket accounts just now and noticed some stuff that i dont think ive posted on here yet, so i thought id throw some of it up in a post here on this world so you guys can check it out :) I hope you all enjoy :)
My Book of Dragonball/Z/GT cards
This is my noteook of Dragonball/Z/GT cards that ive accumulated over the years. Back when i was in 12th grade, i befriended some freshmen who were also into anime and especially DBZ and they also had been buying the collectible card game cards that had just started selling at that time. Every monday morning they would come into the cafeteria (where everyone waited for the morning bell to ring before going to our first class) and they would show me all of the new cards they had bought over the weekend. They would also give me all of the duplicate cards they had multiples of, and eventually i got a pretty decent size collection of my own lol. I really hit the bigtime right before i graduated school, when one of the boy's brother (who had the biggest card collection of them all) lost interest in collecting the cards and while i was talking to his brother one day - he offered to sell me his massive collection for 10$. Luck and good fortune would smile upon me that day because i only had 10$ on me at the time, so i bought his notebook of cards and came home and added it to mine. About 85% of the Notebook in the pic above came from the collection i bought from him and about 6 years ago when i went through and priced each card - At half price the whole notebook was worth 1038$. Im not sure if the overall price has risen or dropped since then, but i still have those cards to this day - along with some newer ones that i came across a few years later.
The notebook includes
DBZ Collctible Card Game cards
Japanese DBZ cards
French DBZ cards
Spanish DBZ cards
DBZ cards with matching stickers
DBZ Chromium Archive Collection cards
DBGT foreign cards
and many more that i havent been able to get info on since they are foreign lol.
Masters of the Universe (unopened figures)
These are figures from the Masters of the Universe anime cartoon show that was shown on Cartoon Network a few years ago. Back then i was heavily into buying figures, especially stuff that was being remade from older series from when i was a kid (transformers,GiJoe, He-Man etc.) and I was also buying a monthly Toy magazine called ToyFare which had updated prices that toys were worth and overall info on new stuff that was coming out. There was alot of hype over these figures and i bought as many of them as i could lol. These figures that i left in the packages are
2 alternately colored Skeletor figures (repaints)
1 Tri-klops figure (repaint)
1 Prince Adam
1 Fire Armor Skeletor
1 Mekaneck (Chase figure)
I read about the Mekaneck Chase figure in the ToyFare magazine and i immediately started looking for it every night and morning when i went to work and left work lol. They called it a "Chase" figure because there were only 1000 of them made. The figure looks exactly like the other Mekaneck figures, but there are slight alterations to him that makes him worth more for some reason. Well one day i ended up coming across the figure before i left work one night and bought it. It's one of my most prized possessions, even to this day lol.
Giant Speed Racer Cardboard Cut-out
I bought this a few years ago at a mall my friend and i went to lol. It stands 6 feet tall (exactly my height lol) and it is just cool to look at i guess lol. I paid 26$ for it and i considered it a pretty rare find at the time. It was just one of those things i saw that i couldnt pass up lol.
Well, i suppose that will be all for today, i sure hope you enjoyed the post and i thank you all for visiting :) im hoping to post a bit more on my other worlds today so be sure to check those out as well :) I hope to chat with you all soon :)
stay strong,
Yamcha
