BLACK FRIDAY COMC PICKUPS - PART 71: SCULLY

IT'S STILL HALLOWEEN IN OUR HEARTS, JUST IGNORE THE CHRISTMAS MUSIC

2016 TOPPS GARBAGE PAIL KIDS PRIME SLIME TRASHY TV OPEN SCULLY

GARBAGE PAIL KIDS WERE ANOTHER THING I SEARCHED FOR IN VAIN ON COMC BUT I WAS LOOKING AT FIRST SERIES CARDS AND THEY WERE ALL TOO RICH FOR MY BLOOD. OH WHY COULDN'T I HAVE FOUND THESE THINGS AT KAY-BEE TOYS TWO SERIES EARLIER. SUPER LATE IN MY BINGE I HAD SOMETHING LIKE 89 CENTS LEFT IN MY ACCOUNT AND I WAS TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO SPEND ALL OF IT, EVERY PENNY, AND HAVING NO LUCK.THERE NEEDS TO BE A SEARCH OPTION FOR A CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WILL PULL UP JUST CARDS OF THAT EXACT PRICE. I STARTED SEARCHING EVERYTHING I EVER LIKED TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING PERFECT TO CAP OFF THE SPENDING. X-FILES WAS ONE SUCH SEARCH, AND I WAS HOPING TO FIND A NICE CARD OF DANA SCULLY. THAT DEFINITELY HAPPENED, JUST NOT IN THE WAY I THOUGHT IT WOULD

I LOVE THE X-FILES. IT'S GOT A NICE MIX OF GOOFY MONSTERS AND MIND BENDING CONSPIRACY NONSENSE. I WAS A FAN OF WEIRD POP-CULTURE OCCULT STUFF LIKE IN SEARCH OF AND CHARIOTS OF THE GODS AND THOSE TIME-LIFE MYSTERIES OF THE UNKNOWN BOOKS WHEN I WAS A KID AND THIS WAS THE COOL 90S VERSION OF ALL THAT NONSENSE. ALIENS AND CRYPTIDS AND SEXY COPS, OH MY! IT WAS A FUN WATCH AND NOT SO PLOT HEAVY THAT YOU COULDN'T GO OUT DRINKING WITH YOUR FRIENDS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND MISS AN EPISODE WITHOUT GETTING COMPLETELY LOST. I ESPECIALLY LIKED THAT SOME EPISODES WERE MYSTERIES, SOME WERE HORROR AND SOME WERE JUST GOOFY. THERE WAS A LOT OF VARIETY THERE. I SAW THIS CARD AND KNEW I HAD TO GET IT JUST BECAUSE THE ALIEN FROM JOSE CHUNG'S FROM OUTER SPACE WAS THE ONE HIDING IN THE SCULLY SUIT

MY VINTAGE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS COLLECTION IS PRETTY GOOD, ESPECIALLY AFTER GRITZ DROPPED A LARGE LOAD OF HIS DOUBLES ON ME EARLIER THIS YEAR. NEWER GPKS ARE A BIT MORE HIT AND MISS. I GOT ONE COMPLETE SET BY ACCIDENT IN A NON-SPORTS LOT AND BOUGHT ENOUGH PACKS TO COME CLOSE TO COMPLETING A COUPLE OTHERS BUT MOSTLY I'VE JUST GOTTEN SOME RANDOM PACKS HERE AND THERE AND NONE AT ALL IN ABOUT FIVE YEARS. I THINK WITH NEW GPKS I SHOULD FORGET ABOUT THE SETS AND JUST PICK UP ONES THAT REALLY SPEAK TO ME. A WHILE BACK I NABBED THIS COOL FRANK ZAPPA STICKER. THIS CARD IS CERTAINLY ONE THAT IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS. I SHOULD ALSO PROBABLY TRADE OR SELL ALL THE OLD DOUBLES I HAVE SO I CAN GO GET SOME OF THOSE NEW CARDS. BUT THAT WOULD TAKE WORK AND WHO'S GOT TIME FOR THAT
