That is awesome. Some of those, like the Gong Show, I didn't even know they made trading cards for. Love the Kojak and Pumpkinhead packs. Where do you get most of your packs from? Toy shows?

Kojak is actually an international release and the wrapper is paper, almost like a French fry wrapper. There are a few more releases like that which are on my radar.

I've gotten packs from all over: toy shows, antique shops, flea markets, sports card shops. The bulk of them actually came from Ebay. You can pick up most individual packs pretty cheap, $1-$5 but the shipping is like $3-$5 so it helps to find a seller that has a large inventory of different packs to choose from. You'll also find pack lots as well which are good when you're starting out. I'm stubborn because I only collect individual packs so lots don't work well for me anymore.

My latest additions to my Black Hole collection (thanks to eBay and Punkg42):

*Pardon the quality, I was in a rush to get to work*

3 more to go for the complete US 3.75" set.

Nice haul, MadCow! I didn't even know they had 12" figures!

I used to have the small robot and the two guys in white, and maybe a couple of the red soldiers. Do you have pictures of the rest of your collection?

 

[choopie]

Nice! I would like to get a complete set of those and Battlestar Galactica. I've been finding it difficult to find them on good quality cards.

Picked this up while vacationing in Colorado last week.

Oh, I never saw the box before. I've got a set. Pretty cool for an Alien collector like me.

Yeah, the 12" figures are actually really nicely done. The likenesses were good for the time. Reinhardt was my favorite character so I had to have it. Sadly, I don't have collection pics. There's no place to display anything in my house so as soon as I get it, it gets boxed with everything else.

Hey guys here is my Bucky O'Hare collection update.

So lets CROAK US SOME TOADS!

Just got her a little while ago. The only way to get a pilot Jenny figure is as a prototype. Due to a spelling error in the title I was able to win her as the only bidder. Finally my quest for a complete crew of the Righteous Indignation has come to a rest.

For Waller, my newest addition...

 

[Pixelpiper]

It still sends me for a loop that early 90's is now considered Vintage.

 

[Darth Waller]

Amazing collection, cplhicks!

You too, fury.

Trading cards for alien? Never knew they even existed.

.....Thanks guys, I put a lot of TLC into it. BTW - plasticcrapmoneywaster is sort of a nod to my father. He one time asked my why I spend so much money on 'plastic crap'?

Here's one more shot, this one is a little cleaner w/ my good camara as opposed to my phone...
