BLACK FRIDAY COMC PICKUPS - PART 62: GOLDEN

UPPER DECK HAS A LOT OF WILD ODDBALL SETS NOW AND FULFILLS E-PACK PULLS THROUGH COMC SO THERE IS A TON OF INTERESTING DIRT CHEAP CARDS ON THERE. THIS WAS A NO-BRAINER

2020 UPPER DECK JAMES BOND VILLAINS & HENCHMEN CHRISTOPHER LEE AS FRANCISCO SCARAMANGA


I'VE BEEN ON E-PACK GETTING MY FREE PACK A DAY FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA HOW ANYTHING WORKS. I PROBABLY HAVE ENOUGH CARDS FOR TWO SETS OF 2021 GOODWIN CHAMPIONS BUT HAVEN'T FIGURED HOW TO TRADE YET SO I KEEP OPENING PACKS. I'M STILL TOO SCARED TO ACTUALLY BUY A PACK BECAUSE IF I SPEND ACTUAL MONEY ON THAT THING AND GET A PACK WHERE I CAN'T GET REAL CARDS I WILL BURN THINGS. IT HELPS THAT THE ONLY PRODUCT I'M SOMEWHAT INTERESTED IN ON THERE IS THE METAL UNIVERSE BASKETBALL SET AND THAT THING COSTS THIRTY BUCKS A PACK. I THINK I SPENT THIRTY BUCKS ON CARDS TOTAL IN THE PAST MONTH OR SO. LUCKILY THIS JAMES BOND SET ISN'T ON THERE BECAUSE HOO BOY WOULD I BE SUPER TEMPTED TO BLOW MY CASH ON FAKE CARDS. THE CHECKLIST OF ALL BADDIES IS FANTASTIC WITH ALL MY FAVORITE EVILDOERS. ROSA KLEBB, JAWS, MAY DAY, MR. HINX, BARON SAMEDI, MR WINT AND MR KIDD, A HALF DOZEN BLOFELDS. I WANT ALL OF THEM. THE ONE I WANTED ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY BUY IS THE GOAT CHRISTOPHER LEE AS SCARAMANGA

IT SEEMS THAT THE ROGER MOORE BOND FILMS ARE NO LONGER COOL BUT SCREW THAT, THEY'RE AWESOME. ALWAYS ENTERTAINING AND GOOFY AND FUN. ESPECIALLY GOOFY. SO MUCH GOOFY STUFF IN THE MOORE BOND FILMS. BUT THAT'S WHY THEY'RE GOOD! BOND HIT PEAK COOL ON THE SECOND FILM IN FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. THERE IS NO COOLER, SO WHY NOT HAVE FUN WITH IT. THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN IS ADMITTEDLY GOOFY. THE BAD GUY IS TRYING TO GET A MONOPOLY ON SOLAR POWER. CHRISTOPHER LEE HAS THREE NIPPLES. TATTOO FROM FANTASY ISLAND IS RUNNING AROUND CAUSING MISCHIEF. THE CLIMACTIC SCENE IS IN A FUNHOUSE. IT'S GOOFY! BUT CHRISTOPHER LEE HAS A GUN MADE OF ACTUAL GOLD AND IS A TOTAL BADASS WITH HIS MANY NIPPLES AND IT'S A FUN WASTE OF TIME. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT JAMES BOND, I MEAN REALLY THINK ABOUT HIM, AN EXTRA-LEGAL MURDERER GALAVANTING THE GLOBE TO STEAL A NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BRITISH CROWN IS PRETTY HORRIFYING, AND THIS AIN'T EVEN THE ONLY MOVIE WITH THAT PLOT. MAKE IT A LIL SILLY WITH A RAPIDLY AGING ROGER MOORE WITH EVERY SINGLE MODEL FROM THE SEVENTIES AND THAT'S SOME GOOD TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF ENTERTAINMENT RIGHT THERE

PLUS A CHRISTOPHER LEE CARD WAS AN IMPORTANT GET FOR ME TO PAIR WITH THE PETER CUSHING CARD. SPOILER: THIS IS NOT THE LAST PAIR OF HORROR ICONS WE WILL SEE

But is there a Hervé Villechaize mini card from this set?

Very cool card. Never seen of Lee so young. I'm used to him being Dooku.

I'd too be all about buying packs of James Bond cards.
