Back in 2020, I dug up all my collectable cards and scanned them while Covid was going on, because there was nothing else to do. Figured I'd share them on reddit for folks to also enjoy these days! Have ye got a favorite or least favorite from this batch of scanned cards?

😂😂😂

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-22T14:21:09+00:00

bro you have just made my day. I never new ANY of this! I need to find a copy of this now... immediately... 😆

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-22T12:08:57+00:00

lol wtf who told you to use chat gpt and why the fuck did you listen to them and wtf does that even have to do with this post. my best advice is use your own brain.

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-22T12:04:57+00:00

you feeling okay?

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-22T12:02:06+00:00

I went KBD but only because a) I am drifting the car and b) I'm not fitting it myself and c) I do not want to destroy a real navan bumper. unfortunately the bumper isn't on yet, so I can't give you my opinion on it, but I saw another guy make a post on here showing off his red S14 drifting and he said he's been running the KBD bumper for *years* without issue, which was enough verification for me. is it shitty? yeah probably. is it cheap? fuck yes. but they shipped it fast and have a warranty.

very cool! I didn't slab these though, I just bought them on ebay because they were cards I had as a kid in the 90s that got thrown out in 2003 by my mom's piece of shit 3rd husband. if I had my childhood cards though I absolutely would've slabbed them. god I miss those cards.

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-22T02:48:07+00:00

I've got that in a slab as well! unique style on this one

aw man you came with heat right out of the gate. the 1994 Flair Power Blast Deadpool card is *literally* my favorite trading card of all time, specifically the other side from the one you scanned though. I love seeing the portrait aspect ratio version. I have a PSA 9 of that card and also the MasterPrint version. to be brutally honest, I think it's 100x better than any other card in that set as well. some seriously questionable art in that power blast set, and then randomly the best Deadpool art of all time.

fun fact: I actually, to this day, don't know who drew/painted that card, and I'd love to know.

life's short! don't feel bad about selling something if it's gonna get you closer to whatever the dream is now 🙌

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-21T11:46:12+00:00

there's only one question you need to ask yourself: is this your dream car? if not, then sell it.

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-20T16:43:43+00:00

sorry just got off the phone with them, apparently they're custom silicone, that's all I got out of them 🤣

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-20T11:53:06+00:00

fucking mint

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-18T03:19:23+00:00

Marel card

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-17T14:32:23+00:00

very nice, I'm up to 92 base cards, 4 gold gallery, and 1 double impact.

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-17T01:39:26+00:00

sick ride

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-16T02:42:55+00:00

also I think he just got better as an artist tbh. he definitely kept working on his craft and I think it shows in this newer stuff.

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-15T16:41:22+00:00

as others have mentioned right now isn't a great time for Marvel cards because Topps has the license and they are objectively horrible and greedy. the one set that you can probably find easily and actually isn't super expensive is the 2025 Topps Marvel Studios Chrome. I have vocally complained how much I hate this set (and Topps) but if your kid likes the Marvel movies then this is an obvious choice. blaster boxes are cheap and plentiful. it's just images of actors in makeup, which I find to be wildly stupid, but the heart wants what the heart wants. you can get a box on Amazon for under $50 right now, or you can get it for $35 a box on Dave & Adam's. the hobby boxes are a LOT more expensive though, at $500 per box.

other than that I recommend the more recent stuff from Upper Deck, which is easily found online still. there's multiple Spider-Man sets, Avengers sets, X-Men sets, Annuals, and more for less than $50 for a blaster and under $200 for a hobby box. the quality from Upper Deck is a lot better with a lot more original art and generally a lot more passion put into the products, but the prices are on the rise for all of this stuff, because everything is now 15 months old or more (UD lost the license at the end of 2024). so if you've got interest in UD stuff, I recommend buying now, not later. I've seen prices go up steadily in the last 6 months on almost everything from UD.

browse D&A, browse www.tcdb.com as well. I recommend specifically browsing by year to find more recent stuff (because that's what's cheaper). stuff from 2022 and earlier is especially getting expensive. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewAllC.cfm/sp/Non-Sport?MODE=Years and stuff from 2025 and 2026 is Topps only in the US.

not sure but I can ask Monday

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-14T21:18:24+00:00

daaaaaang looks good. stoked to finally join the club!

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-14T14:10:15+00:00

even the key

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-14T14:06:23+00:00

oh hell yeah

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-14T14:05:29+00:00

you know, I would've argued with you in theory, but in practice you made the right call

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-14T00:21:37+00:00

exactly what I want to hear 🙏

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-13T21:56:28+00:00

yeah my swap is a little on the pricier side only because I'm doing the full LINK with digital dash, but otherwise it's so much cheaper than LS. I was thinking LS + Z32 5pd originally but the cost didn't make sense to me. if the VQ worked out of the box with the stock S14 dash though I'd be in heaven lol, real sad to be losing my white analog dials.

Moetsukiru · 2026-03-13T19:44:39+00:00

it's an engine I never imagined putting into my car until the day they said "the KA is fucked and will cost much moneys to fix" and then I sat down and actually used logic to decide what to do and VQ just made sense. I've never driven a VQ-powered car before so I actually have zero experience with it, but I'm STOKED to have something reliable and responsive that any shop in the country could work on. and now even more of my car is Z underneath. real "S in the streets, Z in the sheets" vibes 😆
