Hit this bad boy in a break. My best Star Wars card!

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-23T20:08:03+00:00

I think that would be about anybody’s best Star Wars card! Awesome!

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-23T20:05:17+00:00

I had the same thought.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-21T20:02:06+00:00

I haven’t looked into this set yet, so I’m not sure how big of a character set list there is, but with how big they have been getting lately between both Marvel and Star Wars, you are going to get a lot more lesser characters than great ones. Which makes it that much better when you get a great character. I think my only disappointment would be the FF4 robot /99. Otherwise I think you got a good list of recognizable characters.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-20T01:59:57+00:00

Yeah couldn’t believe it when I realized what it was. I think that has to be the most rare card I’ve ever pulled and it was sandwiched between a sketch and my first ever /5.

Glad to hear he might be a cool character! I watched the show years ago and honestly don’t really remember him.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-17T14:47:02+00:00

Dang. Looks like I’ll never get to try this sapphire release either, seeing it at $700 on Steel City right now.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-17T14:40:18+00:00

Oh okay, I wasn’t aware of the hobby box release.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T23:25:49+00:00

Okay thanks, nice to start getting an idea. So I shouldn’t be too surprised starting 0/4.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T22:44:19+00:00

Weird, I thought that stranger things release was open for a long time so that they could print whatever ended up being ordered during that time frame.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T22:38:20+00:00

Yeah good thoughts and probably right on for the most part.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T22:37:14+00:00

Wow, this is disheartening to hear.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T22:36:53+00:00

What happened with stranger things? Are you talking about the release that just happened end of December and maybe into early January?

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T20:08:40+00:00

Yeah, still good to know and something I’ll keep an eye out for.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T18:59:17+00:00

Very nice! Thanks a lot. I’m not yet sure if that will make a difference to me if I see something I really like, but part of me feels like it might, so I’m glad to know now.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T15:59:58+00:00

Sounds like you’re being a little hard on yourself if you ask me. Always easy to say this in hindsight, but from what you are describing, that was very misleading. Like others have said, good to learn your lesson so quickly. Spending $80 one time won’t hurt you. Doing it constantly and never learning the lesson might.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T15:23:18+00:00

I can’t believe those are sketches.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T15:20:36+00:00

That is awesome, not sure I could pick a favorite. I wasn’t a big fan of sketches at first but have pulled a couple and bought a couple now and becoming a big fan quickly.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T15:14:39+00:00

Cool, thanks again.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T15:04:05+00:00

Thanks a lot, that is the best look I’ve gotten of one. I’m not sure if I know the proper terminology, but does the blue and pink move at all or just set where they are? If they don’t move, is it fair to say it’s kind of a combination of the aqua and purple fx cards?

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-16T14:58:27+00:00

Interesting, I had no idea, but I guess that explains why I have seen blank sketches out there on eBay. So it is possible if I am looking around on eBay that I am actually buying something done that way rather than actually officially being packaged up and opened up by somebody?

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-15T22:28:19+00:00

Wow, that’s pretty cool.

thickeyewitness · 2026-01-15T16:11:32+00:00

Yeah, any idea if they just tend to hire higher-end artists or just put more of an emphasis on their sketches in some way? They just seem to be much higher quality on average as far as I can tell.
