Today is question day:
What unusual relic would you
like to see in a card?
There are already some unusual
relics in cards but they are not as common as the usual “Event Worn”
memorabilia that shows up. In sports I would like to see shoes show up more
often. Maybe do a cleat card with a single cleat from a football player’s shoe.
In non-sports, there are so many
options. Cryptozoic’s Totally Fabricated relics, while they are manufactured
relics, are very cool and bring us closer to comic books and animated shows like Archer
so why not continue the idea in to other companies and their licenses? Who
wouldn’t want a Totally Fabricated piece of the Death Star or some rocks from
Alderaan? That is the odd thing about the Star Wars license, there are very few
relics of any type; Ewok fur, Chewbacca fur, Jabba’s sail barge sail, bunker
pieces from ROTJ and now Stormtrooper pieces. Where are the pieces of Han’s
blaster? Luke’s lightsaber? Leai’s slave outfit?
For baseball I would love to see some catcher's gear. Bits of shin guards or face mask would be really neat!
ReplyDeleteThat would be cool and there have been relics in the past that showed this can be done. There have been football face masks and a catcher mask is similar. Leaf has done some great cards with hockey goalie masks so thick catcher chest pads and shin guards is possible.
DeleteI own one of those Ewok relics. And now that I think about it... I'm pretty sure I left it off of my favorite non-sports card list I created last week. Oh well. I did include a really cool space shuttle relic in that post.
