Newly graded Paul Rudd Parks & Rec card! In the 2000s & early 2010s there were a handful of somewhat smaller companies making officially licensed entertainment cards that were mostly all on card autos and often had props & costume patches. Artbox, Rittenhouse, Press Pass and so on. Some, such as Rittenhouse continue today as well. My guess is that since the industry has exploded costs have mostly gotten too high for anyone other than the biggest few brands to get licenses for major properties.

I had this card personally signed to me by Derrick himself at a Super Bowl Fan Fest. Card isn’t scratched, it’s the casing. RIP Derrick

I don’t often buy to flip cards but since I started collecting mostly non-sports cards the one franchise I decided to try & buy to flip as an experiment was Stranger Things. Since I knew it had an end in sight I bought up lots of cards and cases of sealed wax over the last 4 years and will be likely selling them all in the next couple months. Will be fun to see how it goes.

Finally opened a hobby box of Topps Chrome Dune. Truly a fun rip.
