A Ghost Adventurer Super Pull

There is a show on the Travel Channel called Ghost Adventures. It is a paranormal investigation show created by Zak Bagans and Nick Groff originally as a documentary in 2004 when they investigated the activity in Virginia City, Nevada. The documentary was shown in 2007 on Syfy Channel and the following year Travel Channel picked it up as a regular show and they are about to enter their 13^th season next month (They sometimes release more than one season in a year.).

I really enjoy the show and in 2013 I designed a Ghost Adventures set for my annual Halloween cards. Aaron Goodwin, who began as the groups cameraman before becoming an investigator, is my favorite. He just has a way about him that makes him an “every man” type of guy.

I follow him on Instagram and I know he is a Star Wars fan but I never knew he is a collector too. Two days ago he posted up this picture of his recent pickup, which appears to be about three cases of 2016 Topps Star Wars Chrome The Force Awakens.

 

He follows that up by posting this last night. He pulled what is easily the best card of the set, the Harrison Ford Superfractor #1/1 autograph. Which he immediately put up for auction and sold it within an hour.

 

He didn’t say how much he sold it for only that he plans on buying more Star Wars cards with the money, in true collector form. I checked recent sales and found his card, he sold it for $4,500. Insane.

 

Question, would you have sold this card?

 

 

 

Ghost Adventures On Cardboard

The last couple of years I took part in Thorzul’s Nightmare on Cardboard contests but I didn’t have much time to work on any Halloween themed cards this year so I planned on skipping the contest. Tonight my kids decided they didn’t need mom and dad with them when they went trick-or-treating so I sat back to watch the Ghost Adventures marathon on the Travel Channel. Because I have posted my contest submissions for the last few years I wanted to do something so I decided to make up some cards, even though I missed the submission deadline I wanted to post something up.

 

This year’s theme was “Fear the Fleer”, anything Fleer from any year. I made cards for the Ghost Adventures television show based on 1987 Fleer Football Live Action insert, 1986 Fleer Basketball, 1984 Baseball, 1982 Fleer Baseball and 1961 Fleer Basketball. I just had to include one with Aaron’s scared face, if you watch the show you know the face.
