AusRam's Non Sport Maildays...

Some more Rey's have arrived. Glad I snagged the High Teks before they started reaching crazy prices, even if they took forever to get here. The first two commonest versions are up near $100 for the pair, I paid $20 all up for mine.

Very chuffed at getting the Chloe Bennett as she avoided both my cases of Agents of Shield but I was lucky enough to get the top spot in a case break on Blowout, so didn't have to pay $300 for it! Pity the OCT community just isn't big enough to support those sort of case breaks. How cool would that be ?

Some great cards
Price for Rey cards is ridiculous at the moment. Its not as if there are less of them produced than the other cards
 
Added some more these past few weeks, some more Rey stuff including the /25 High Tek which cost a small fortune and a couple of silver badges. Added a printing plate of Rey to the collection as well.
Finally added an Olga Kurylenko (Oblivion, Quantum of Solace, Water Diviner, Hit Man) auto to the "Lovely Ladies" collection as she's becoming a bit of a favorite. Need a Gemma Arterton next. And had to snag the Jaimie Alexander auto from Agent of Shield seeing as I didn't pull one! Anyone watching Blindspot ? I'm a few eps in, odd premise, but not too bad a show. And added another Maria hill plate.
A bunch of Hobbit auto's from the blowout case breaks. I didn't have great spots buts did manage to get auto's I needed so not too shabby.
The Nien Nunb auto is from the Force Awakens case, which was a very weak case. I also picked up a printing plate of "Crusher" which I'll put on ebay, but I'll hang on to this auto. At least it's an actor/character I don't have an auto of already...

And finally snagged a couple of big ones I wanted. A Rachel Nichols Continuum S3 auto. These were scarce in the release and I'd missed out on a bunch but got this for a decent price. And finally nailed a Gemma Arterton auto...wanted one of hers for a while and got a good price on this one from Japan of all places! And add to those a nice Elfie Dejah Thoris sketch, three Lady Sif sketches and a handful of favorite ladies for the printing plate collection..

Haven't been buying too many singles, spent too much on cards lately! But did manage to add to the Lovely Ladies Printing Plate Collection, though they are starting to get pretty scarce these days. Real pity they didn't do plates in Ant-Man.

Firstly added a bunch of Agent Carter at some nice prices.

And when this one surfaced, I had to snag it, though it was a bit rich. Or maybe not when compared to what some of the Star Wars ones are getting these days!

Have a had a few new bits come in. Not much in the way of boxes to spend money on at the moment, so been going in a lot of case breaks. With me being a Star Wars fan, it seems I have the worst luck in the Star Wars breaks, so besides the Serkis, I'm building up a who's who of supporting characters... I also refuse to take prequel or animated show characters, so that limits me to taking original trilogy and TFA. In that respect I guess I've done okay.

Did a whole lot better in a Star Trek break though, getting the #1 spot in the random and taking the Shatner auto. Pretty awesome PC add. Also picked up one more "Lovely Lady" printing plate for the collection. They're getting very thin on the ground now though. Black widow is the gold /10 version, which gives me the rainbow of foils for that card. The Lady Sif card is a signed Artifax , auto'd by the artist on the back - been trying to snag one since the set came out, so finally got that one of the list. And lastly I suppose a 1/1 Han Solo red parallel means I did have a little luck in one of the Star Wars breaks after all!

Been quiet on the boxes lately, but have to admit I'm feeling the itch, so might buy some soon. But in the meanwhile I've still been going in some breaks. Still chasing that elusive big Star Wars auto, but all it seems I'm really doing is padding out my "Biggest Collection of Unkown Star Wars Actors" !! Last week I got the top spot in a Star Wars case break draft and the best card in the case was a 1/1 non-auto of Plo Koon...just my luck !

Anyway, here's the latest. At least I managed mostly TFA and original trilogy folks.

Next up I managed to add to my Hobbit auto chase, marking another 3 needs of the list. Happy also to pick up a nice clear Arrow plate of an good character and also happy to get the Steven Culp auto. He mightn't have had a big part in Arrow, but has been in so many movies and shows. I especially remember him in 13 days as Robert Kennedy.

Next was a case of Panini Americana. It was a cheap break and as it turned out not the greatest of cases. Really wanted to get an Ali Larter auto, but got a Laura Dern which isn't too shabby at all -Jurassic Park and soon to be seen in the next Star Wars movie. And a couple of reasonable costume cards.

Anyway, all a bit of fun..
