A Visit to My Book Shelf!
When I was younger I collected cards. Not baseball cards like the majority of my friends; I was addicted to Film and TV Cards. I was obsessed with Garbage Pail Kids and Wacky Packages. I collected E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, The A-Team, Star Wars, ALF, Batman and any other card I could get my hands on. I still have quite a few in large books taking up tons of space and hardly ever pulled down to look through. Forget about the ones below that I own in which you just don’t want to even open up!
Now with EBay and Comic Conventions I started picking up fill in cards I needed and it’s become a little easier to find the ones I need. Regardless, they go into the books and are long forgotten.
Topps has made the nostalgia of looking at these old collections fun again my putting together a series of books filled with the cards and a way to look through then all again and again without the fear of damaging a collection or loosing cards. The books are filled with the first few editions of the cards and all have brief introductions to the series with trivia and information in regards to the creation of each.
I absolutely love the books. I currently own the book collections of Mars Attacks, Garbage Pail Kids (Which has all the cards from Series 1-5), Star Wars Volume 1, and Wacky Packages (Series 8-14).
I recommend you check them out if you’re a fan of reading though and enjoying the classic artwork in a collection that is timeless.
Other collections available include Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series, Wacky Packages (Series 1-7) and even a collection of Bazooka Joe and His Gang! I would love to see more collections of these.
You can pre-order Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back: The Original Topps Trading Card Series, Volume Two which comes out in April this year on AMAZON.
I have a feeling the force will be strong with this one as well.
