Toploader Therapy

I don't buy boxes of cards like I used to. Not the premium stuff, anyways. But every once and a while I'll pick up a box of "Junk wax" to pass the time. It's an affordable and effective way to scratch that nostalgic itch. Ripping packs, filtering out commons while placing favorite cards in penny sleeves and toploaders never gets old for me. It's also quite therapeutic.

    I agree. There's something special about finding a cool card, sliding it into a penny sleeve... then into a brand new top loader.

      It's the best way to preserve a trading card. Makes me wonder when the first toploader was introduced?

      Somewhere between 1985 and 1989.

    I used to get the same feeling when putting cards in pages.

      It's a nice way to get reaquainted with our cards.

    Awesome - I only recently got into top loaders to house my new sketch cards.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
