I'VE SHOWN OFF MOST OF THE COOL STUFF FROM THE BINGE* NOW HERE'S SOME OF THE SILLIER STUFF I PICKED UP ON BLACK FRIDAY WEEK. AND HOO BOY DID I BUY SOME GOOFY SHIT I DON'T REALLY NEED. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD MORE HELPLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE AND DEPRAVED THAN A MAN IN THE DEPTHS OF A CARDBOARD BINGE. TIME TO GET INTO THAT ROTTEN STUFF!
1953 TOPPS WORLD ON WHEELS ELGIN SWEEPER TRUCK
I LOVE THE 1953 WORLD ON WHEELS SET. WEIRD OLD-TIMEY JALOPIES ON A TRADING CARD SET PRINTING MOMENTS BEFORE ALL THE REALLY COOL CLASSIC CARS WERE BUILT. THE MINIMALIST DESIGN IS PLEASING TO MY EYES AND I LOVE THE BACKS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE PRINTED ON THE SAME PRESSES WITH THE SAME INK AS THE 53 BASEBALL SET. EVERYONE SAYS THIS SET IS FROM 1954 BUT I REJECT THAT REALITY. I WAS ABLE TO GET A BUNCH OF EM FOR STOOPID CHEAP, THREE FOR A BUCK TYPE CHEAP. SO WHAT IF THEY ARE BEAT TO HELL AND HAVE HOLE PUNCHES IN THEM. WITH A 180 CARD SET, THERE'S SOME REAL ODDBALL VEHICLES IN THERE AND A STREET SWEEPER IS ONE OF THE ODDEST. BEETHOVEN WASN'T GREAT ENOUGH TO GET A BUBBLE GUM CARD, BUT A STREET SWEEPER WAS. TAKE THAT, SCHROEDER
1969 A&BC THE HIGH CHAPARRAL BUCK ON TRIAL
I DO NOT LIKE WESTERNS. WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID I READ DENNIS THE MENACE AND THERE WAS A RUNNING JOKE WITH DENNIS AND JOEY PLAYING COWBOYS AND INDIANS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS COOL AND GOT MY OWN COWBOY OUTFIT WITH A LEATHER HAT AND A TOY GUN AND HOLSTER. THEN I WATCHED AN ACTUAL WESTERN MOVIE WITH MY GRANDFATHER AND THE COWBOYS SHOT ALL THE INDIANS AND I WAS LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. NO MORE WESTERNS FOR ME. I DO LIKE OLD NON-SPORTS CARDS AND I ALSO LIKE CARDS FROM ENGLAND AND I LIKE CAMERON MITCHELL. I'VE NEVER SEEN THE HIGH CHAPARRAL, BUT I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE B-MOVIES FROM THE 70S AND 80S THAT FEATURED CAMERON MITCHELL THAT GET MADE FUN OF BY RED LETTER MEDIA. CLOSE THE FUCKIN DOOR!!! THIS IS A NEAT CARD FROM HIS PRE-SCHLOCKY MOVIE DAYS
1959 BUBBLES YOU'LL DIE LAUGHING "CMON CHARLIE, YOU CAN'T FOOL ME WITH THAT SILLY DISGUISE"
I LOVE EVERY MONSTER MOVIE TRADING CARD SET BUT THIS MIGHT BE THE PINNACLE OF ALL OF THEM. A COMPLETE SET OF MONSTERS LOVINGLY ILLUSTRATED BY JACK DAVIS. EVERY CARD IS A MASTERPIECE. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE AMAZING, THE COLORS ALL POP, THE MONSTERS ARE CREEPY, THE GAGS ARE ACTUALLY DECENT. GO TAKE SOME TIME TO LOOK OVER THIS SET, IT'S THE BEST COMICS YOU WILL READ TODAY. I REALLY LOVE THE CRITTER ON THIS CARD, THAT'S A GREAT SKEERY MONSTER RIGHT THERE
IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A DISASTER AS THE WESTERN CARD FITS MY COLLECTION OF 'CARDS WITH HORSES ON THEM' AND THE MORE JACK DAVIS CARDS I HAVE THE BETTER. BOTH THE CARDS I GOT IN THE BINGE WERE CHEAPER AS WELL. BARGAINS! I SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE MORE TIME TO CATALOGUE THESE ODDBALL INTERESTS OF MINE THOUGH
2020 TOPPS NOW 2021 INAUGURATION BERNIE SANDERS
THIS CARD IS LUDICROUSLY OVERPRINTED, COMPLETELY WORTHLESS, AND THE SLIGHTEST WHIFF OF POLITICS MAKES ME PHYSICALLY ILL. IT'S TOO DAMN FUNNY THOUGH AND I GOT IT FOR WAY UNDER A BUCK. WE ALL FEEL LIKE THIS EVERY TIME THE NEWS COMES ON NOW
1998 PACIFIC CROWN COLLECTION MARK LEMKE RED THREATT
PLAYER COLLECTION ODDBALLS THAT ARE STRANGE AND RARE AND UNIQUE ARE GOOD... PLAYER COLLECTION PARALLELS THAT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE SEVERAL OTHER CARDS EXCEPT FOR A FOIL COLOR THAT WAS EXCLUSIVE TO ONE RETAILER ARE BAD... I LOVE LEMMER BUT WHY DID I BUY THIS INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL ODDBALL OR MINOR LEAGUE CARD
1996 LEAF PREFERRED STEEL JUAN GONZALEZ
IN THE 90S THERE WAS A TINY PERIOD OF TIME WHERE MANUFACTURERS THOUGHT THAT PRINTING CARDS ON SLABS OF ACTUAL METAL WAS THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE. THEN THEY DID IT AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS AN ENORMOUS PAIN IN THE ASS AND QUIT DOING IT QUICKLY. I LIKE THESE DUMB CARDS THOUGH AND AM KINDA SORTA TRYING TO BUILD THIS LEAF PREFERRED STEEL SET AS IT'S MY FAVORITE OF THE BUNCH. I GOT A FEW OF THESE CARDS NOT JUST TO FILL MY SET BUT TO WEIGH DOWN MY SHIPMENT AFTER SHIPPING PRICES WENT UP. SPITE IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO BUY BASEBALL CARDS. BUT IF YOU'RE FEELING IT, ALSO LOOK UP TOPPS STARS AND STEEL, LEAF PREFERRED HOCKEY, 2023 LEAF TRINITY STEEL AND VARIOUS STEEL PARALLELS AND THE 1980S TOPPS GALLERY OF CHAMPIONS INGOTS
*I HAVE ENOUGH COOL CARDS FOR ONE MORE POST. YELL AT ME IN THE COMMENTS AND I'LL SHOW OFF ONE MORE COLLECTION OF COOL HONORABLE MENTIONS
YES THIS IS BLATANT ENGAGEMENT BAIT, I LOCKED DOWN COMMENTS SO I COULD GET THE SPAM UNDER CONTROL AND NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE WORKING AT ALL

Okay fine I'll comment.
1. It'll never happen but I'd love to see a custom set of World on Wheels consisting of just the vehicles from Cars and Trucks and Things That Go.

2. Similarly, I need to figure out which Western set design would look best for making a Distant Drums custom of the Wilhelm Scream origin scene.
