Anyone else collect non sports cards or art?

[Will]

Sketch cards, autographs etc?

Just looking to see if anyone else on here does.

If so...what sets do you collect etc?

My main focus is sketch cards of Hiro from Heroes series 1 and 2 and from time to time Ill have an artist draw one up.

2nd main focus is Sons of Anarchy. People who have autographs in card sets that have been in the tv show etc.

3rd is collecting stuff of ODB from TNA wrestling.

Last but not least is sometimes Ill get art drawn up and signed by celebs.

Just a sample-

Spoiler

Had artist Rita Moore draw this Year One Catwoman voiced by Eliza Dushku and had Eliza sign it last year-

Had artist Patrick Canter draw Michael Dorn as the president of the US from Heroes and had him sign it last year-

Had artist Rich Hennemann draw this Tim Sale tribute and had Hayden sign it two in 2011

Cool stuff. I collect some non sport cards but not on the level that you do. I'll buy a box or two of stuff I like and put the set with whatever inserts I get in a binder, but I don't look for specific inserts to buy. I like to get autos more than sketches, but sketches are great too. My cousin actually does a lot of sketch cards for many sets (his name is Ted Dastick Jr. http://tdastick.deviantart.com/) and he sets up a table at a lot of shows in the Philadelphia area. If there's a show he doesn't have a table at, we usually go anyway.

I've bought a few boxes of Heroes cards from almost every season and that last archives set they put out. Stuff I also buy is any James Bond stuff, Game of Thrones, Dexter, True Blood and Star Wars to name a few (I'm horrible about cards making it from the box to a binder, they're sitting all around my room).

I've got at least 4 or 5 complete sets of Marvel and X-Men cards at my mother's place, and recently completed (I think) the first series of the new Power Rangers Action Card Game.

 

[bordjon]

I'd never heard of sketch cards before this - just looked them up - very cool!

 

[DNukem170]

I collect Pokemon cards. Have a couple Full Art cards (OG Zekrom, Reshiram, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus) and a few Legend cards. One of my favorites is the oldie but goodie Ancient Mew. I also prefer almost card drawn by Kouki Saitou.

Had a bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards way back when, but stopped collecting them around Legacy of Darkness.

 

[VANDALHEART]

I used to collect the FFXIII Triple Triad Cards as well as MTV animation trading cards. The MTV cards were Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, The Brothers Grunt, The Head, and The Maxx. That's about it as far as non sports cards that I have ever collected. Of course that was ages ago. I did want to pick up the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories cards, but that kind of fell off my radar when I couldn't find them in game stores.

I swear that Wolverine's claws change depending on who's drawing him. Sometimes they're flat blades, sometimes they're more like long pointed spikes with no edge, sometimes curved, sometimes more straight, always different. Then there were the bone claws, ugh.

 

[Will]

Id go broke if I collected prints.....

[quote name='Will']I know Ted..Im sure if you asked if he knew a guy named will that collects Hiro he would know who you are talking about lol.[/QUOTE]

I asked him, he said he knows you. Do you have something of his scanned that you can post? He shows me a majority of stuff he does but not everything.

 

[Mr Unoriginal]

This is a serious question: Why would you ever want/need so many autographs of a single B-list celeb?

 

[PR Mega X]

I dig some of those Domino pictures, but I'm with our Amish friend above -- that's a lot of autographs from one person...

He wasnt doing sketch cards at the time of Heroes being released so I never ran across anything of his to add to my collection.

Its a collectors thing I guess...One is a "base set" autograph, another is numbered, then there is the one with the "Stiflers Mom" variant signature.

When collecting Hiro cards were slow, Id fill that time up with others and she was one of those.

 

[Will]

Few more misc pieces-

Spoiler

Artist Greg Harms and Ryan Alexander did this piece together-

It got tweaked digitally but Ill be damned if I can find a shot of that.

Mandalorian Domino by Chris Fulton-

Samurai Domino by Jerry Rascoe-

I was in the middle of watching Angel and saw Juliet Landau and James Marsters were going to be at a Austin con so I had Rich Hennemann draw this up and got it signed by both-

Based off of this pic-

 

[Will]

More Hiros-

Spoiler

This is a prop card of the missing poster used in the background when Hiro was "missing"

This is the unfinished 9th wonders comic used in the tv show that Hiro was walking around with-

I also have the poker chips that were used when Hiro went to vegas and was using his powers to gamble. Need to get a pic of those.

For the misc section of Heroes related autographs, Ive got a print of this-

Signed by James Lee aka Ando and Santiago Cabrera aka Isaac. Hope to catch Masi Oka at a con sometime to get quite a bit signed by him.

Misc Domino sketch cards-

Couple more Hiro's-

 

[KaneRobot]

Well I was walking through Target yesterday and saw Garbage Pail Kids are back (again), so yeah. I do collect non-sports cards, at least for now.

Decided to skip the randomness and buy last year's base set for 11 bucks on Ebay, I'll worry about chase cards later. Series 2 is on the shelves now. Still have all the ones I bought when they first brought them back 10 years ago, as well as all I had from the original run in the 80's.

I remember being extremely surprised when I learned that the guy who created the Garbage Pail Kids (Art Spiegelman) also wrote Maus.

I still have a couple old school GPK cards with my name.

Misc SOA stuff

Signed by-

Kurt Sutter
Ron Pearlman,
Katey Sagal,
Charlie Hunnam,
Maggie Siff,

For those that are SOA fans, Cryptozoic Entertainment snagged the liscense for SOA and will be doing a trading card set. Its based on seasons 1 through 4.

If its anything like their Walking Dead or Big Bang Theory releases, its gonna be expensive. If its closer to their Vampire Diaries set, I may have a shot at getting a full set. Theyre good at getting main signers so it should be interesting.

More Misc Art

Spoiler

Artist Danielle Soloud drew this on the envelope of cards she mailed me-

For awhile Hiro's were slow so I decided to collect Lady Death sketch cards

They also picked up the license for Breaking Bad, which I'm very much looking forward to! Ted is hoping to be doing sketches for Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad.

 

[Will]

Im waiting to hear if theyll do sketch cards for this set.

 

[Will]

Never saw Breaking Bad but heard tons of good stuff.

If they do sketch cards for this, theyll go on the back burner for me and not a "must have" except for a possible couple of artist proofs.

Im hoping they do because that takes some heat off the pricing of the rest of the stuff for the case breakers. Guess it all breaks down as to wether or not who controls likeness rights etc.

Latest addition to my Hiro collection.

8.5x11 by Michael Duron

 

[Kumacy]

This is very neat - I had heard of ACEOs in passing before but hadn't looked into them too much.

I don't have the budget to collect, but I love seeing what's been posted so far (from an aesthetic standpoint but also as an amateur artist).

 

[Will]

Got this one done by Josh C Lyman from the same show I picked up the Hiro by Duron

I collect band/gaming posters when I can. Right now, as far as band posters go, I only have Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon and a poster I picked up at an Iron Maiden concert when they were on their Maiden England 2012 tour.

As far as gaming posters, I have Uncharted 3, MW3, and God of War: Ascension. I recently discovered that there is a Five Below in town and they have a bunch of posters. Once I scrap some money together, I'm gonna go get some.

a friend got me a darryl banks sketch

[Will]

Killer stuff Shogun!

Really dig the Hamill. Hope he hits a con I can make it to so I can get my Joker piece signed.

i posted some of my variants on the pick ups theard, i know this is an art thread but if you want i can post my different variants here, also have some autograph books

 

[ShogunNage]

forgot one luther strode print signed by the writer and artist

 

[Javery]

Is it me or can people just draw better as time goes on? There are a ton of insane artists out there.

Also, this stuff is fascinating. I understand getting a piece or two to frame up for the man cave or whatever but collecting basically an unlimited amount of something so specific is wild. Everyone has their thing I guess!

 

[ShogunNage]

mondo sell some pretty nice prints and i just got an email that they are selling some of their left over prints from wondercon, scarface, adventure time to name a few
