HERE WE GO, NO SMALL TALK, JUST POSTS. MY FAVORITE RELIC CARDS ARE NON-SPORTS RELIC CARDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I PULL A SWEET ONE OUT OF A DOLLAR TREE PACK
A FEW YEARS AGO BACK WHEN DOLLAR TREE STILL SOLD TRADING CARDS THE ONES NEAR ME GOT A GIGANTIC PILE OF PANINI NON-SPORTS CARDS. THE PACKS THEY HAD WERE 2015 AMERICANA AND A BEACH BOYS SET. THESE WERE NOT SKIMPY DOLLAR TREE PACKS WITH FOUR BASE CARDS IN THEM EITHER, THEY WERE FULL SIZED HOBBY PACKS. I CARE ABOUT THE BEACH BOYS ABOUT AS MUCH AS I CARE ABOUT HALLMARK HOLIDAY SPECIALS WHICH IS NOTHING. SOME MAY FIND THIS BLASPHEMOUS, AND I ACCEPT THAT. THE BAND DOES NOTHING FOR ME. A CELEBRITY SET WITH LAURA DERN AND ROGER MOORE AND BELA LUGOSI INSERTS IN IT? YEAH, THAT'S MY JAM. I BOUGHT AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF DOLLAR PACKS AND STILL NEVER COMPLETED THE SET. BUT I PULLED A RELIC CARD OF BETTE FRICKIN' DAVIS WITH A LOVELY BLUE SWATCH OF A DRESS THAT PROBABLY SHE WORE SOMETIME SOMEWHERE MAYBE
PULLING A RELIC CARD OF ONE OF THE BEST ACTORS IN THE HISTORY OF EVER FROM A PACK FROM DOLLAR TREE IS ABSURD. EVEN THOUGH I AM A TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES JUNKIE I'M ASHAMED TO SAY I HAVEN'T SEEN MANY OF BETTE'S FLICKS OTHER THAN HER CRAZY OLD LADY ROLES LIKE WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE, HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE AND RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN. I AM A BAD FILM NERD, I SHOULD AT LEAST CHECK OUT NOW, VOYAGER SINCE IT HAS CLAUDE RAINS IN IT. OR HER OSCAR WINNING FILM JEZABEL WHERE SHE CAUSES A GIGANTIC SCANDAL FOR WEARING A RED DRESS. NO, SERIOUSLY. THE HAYES CODE DID SOME WEIRD THINGS TO FILM. ALTHOUGH THE GUARANTEE FROM PANINI ON THE BACK IS WORRYINGLY VAGUE IT'S STILL SOMEWHAT ODD THAT I MIGHT BE HOLDING A PIECE OF BETTE DAVIS' DRESS. THAT'S BASICALLY THE GOLDEN AGE FILM EQUIVALENT OF A LOU GEHRIG JERSEY SWATCH. I WONDER IF GREER GARSON HAS ANY RELIC CARDS? HOLY CRAP SHE DOES
SURELY BETTE DAVIS HAS NATURALLY CURLY HAIR

Wow. A relic of material worn by Bette Davis is insanely cool.
That's bizarre the Dollar Tree would yield something like that. ... But I'd probably be more interested in a Beach Boys relic.
Funny, there's no mention of naturally curly hair in that Kim Carnes song.
I immediately thought of the Carnes song. I'm more familiar with it than I am the actress. Didn't realize she was in Return to Witch Mountain. Loved that movie as a kid and it's nice to now be able to put that famous name to a face.
