Hello All

These arrived this morning '13th October 2025' in the post (Mail)

Shout out goes to Damon - @homerunderbyswing on here. A gesture that made my day. Some of you may think I am overplaying just someone putting something in the post. But we should never underplay a gesture like this. Hence the title. Whatever you collect or hobbies you do can come with a shared community. But simple actions can reach beyond deeper than you see. A broader web.

So I would like to thank Damon again. Go check out his account.

Have a great week out there.

Cheers Alan

Hello All

From the 1992 Impel Marvel Set. Interesting bit of info I noticed on the back of the cards. They all have "First Appearance' which is great if you want to hunt out that issue. The character Cerise on hers. Her first appearance in comics was Excalibur #47 - February 1992. So could this be the first ever appearance on a card? I wonder if that a thing in the Entertainment card world? Captain America's first ever card, Spiderman's first ever card. I will have to delve more. Maybe you out there know or are collecting in that way.

So just a fun play on 'True Rookies"

Hope you enjoy the cards and I have an 'Origins' take from the same set soon.

Cheers Alan

Hello All

Posting this one. A gift from my nephew:- TOPPS 2024 Allen & Ginter

Michael Harris Junior - AGR-MHA (game used memorabilia) A shaving of bat (hence the Halloween pun) I love this addition to my collection.

Wether you are cosplaying as Beetlejuice or steer clear of Halloween. Have a great month.

Any good Halloween season cards, figures or just Halloween themed puns you want to share? Get them uploaded and add to the cauldron.

Cheers Alan

Happy Sunday everyone in collectorland. Hope you are well. Picked this one up in a recent singles sale. Caught my eye. Like the concept of the short print, out of jersey number idea. Unfortunately mine had a little knick in the top but begs the question. There is only so many tries on grading these if you choose to. Only 82 more goes for this Tyler Boyd. Also would love to know the player list in this specific format. Could be some mining for some on what I think could be nuggets.

Cheers Alan

Hello all.

Sharing this Matt Buzelis SWISH card with you. Reason being am liking the design of these. Some may think not high end or valuable, but that ok. "Value" has multiple definitions across the hobby. Could be potential value here for me, but that would be just luck on my part in just liking the card. I may hunt some numbered variations of this card. What do you think of this design? Also what inserts, past or present are you liking the design of at the moment?

Cheers
