Shoebox Legends started a cool blog around idea of "Deleted Scenes", scans that have been sitting in a scan folder and never used. I had over a dozen images saved in my scan folder, images I
had planned to post on the blog or add to TCDB in 2019. Many of these came from
previous COMC orders. Here we go, in chronological order of release.
1985 Prism Jewel Julius Erving
This one was a
huge find. It was on COMC at $19 WTF? The same day I purchased this one on COMC,
somebody paid $67 for one on eBay.
1987-88 Compeonata
Converse Merchante (Spain) Larry Bird and Magig Jhonson
Johnson’s name was
not misspelled just on the front, but the back too. At least the printers were consistent.
1994 Finest Peel
Sample Edgar Martinez
These were sent
with boxes of 1994 Finest Baseball to card shops so they could show their customers
how the peel-off film worked. Seems self-explanatory. The card is a bit sturdier
than the base 1994 Finest cards because they were meant to be used as a display.
Unfortunately the peel-off film was not attached.
2008 Rafo
Wrestling Keceri WWE sticker Yakozuna
Yakozuna, real
name Rodney Anoa’i, was never a sumo wrestler but I really liked the image. The set is a neat WWF set, they have both photos and animated cartoon cards. I may pick up a couple more cards (Stone Cold, Undertaker, Macho Man, Hulk Hogan)
Some 2016 CJ
Prosise cards
He hasn’t panned
out as much as hoped, 4 seasons in Seattle and 4 season ending injuries.
2016 Immaculate
Kyle Seager button card
This is my first button card. A bummer that it is obvious that all of the logos/names have been removed so the card seems a bit bland.
2018 Black Panther
Vibranium Shuri
I have a crush on
Letitia Wright and she was awesome as Shuri in Black Panther so any time I can
get a metal card of Shuri I am getting that card. I’ve got a couple of Shuri
relic cards too.
2018 Leaf Pop
Century Signatures Rose McIver
iZombie is a great
show that I enjoyed, the series ended this past August after 5 seasons, and Rose McIver is
such a cutie. I was not going to let this card get past me.
2019 Leaf Best of
Baseball Proof Ken Girffey Jr.
This is one of
those cards that Leaf sells through their eBay store and is similar to Topps
Vault. The card is blank back and encased.
2019 Upper Deck
Marvel Premier Color Box Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange is
a cool character and I really like the shadow box cards. It is 4 layers with
the top level being the character in full color and then the lower layers
showing the character in cyan, magenta and yellow.
Some really cool stuff here! I hadn't seen the Color Box cards before, but I like the concept. I was aware of the Jewel sticker, and that's a great find, but the Converse cards I had no idea existed at all.
ReplyDeleteThat Prism is really fantastic, and congratulations on getting it for such a great price! It's not as easy to find great deals on the site as it used to be, but they can still be had from time to time. As far as the stickers go, I've looked for a cheap Buck Williams off and on for a number of years, and have yet to find one.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see another one of these Deleted Scenes posts. Shoeboxlegends idea was awesome. Like Billy said... you've got some really cool stuff here. I'm going to try and see what other players were used for those 1994 Finest demonstration cards.
ReplyDeleteThat Prism Jewel is nice! Never heard or seen one before.
