A Return Of The Geek Goddess Felicia Day

It is no secret that I am smitten with Felicia Day and any chance that I have in picking up anything related to her I grab. The most recent pickups are a couple of promo cards for the card games Munchkin and Fluxx.

Lie To Your Own Webcam promo card was released to promote Munchkin The Guild booster pack. The Guild is a web show in which Felicia Day’s Codex is the main character with the story line built around her.

Fluxx is another card game and the expansion pack were released to promote Fluxx Table Top booster. Table Top is a web show created by Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton, who also made apperances in The Guild. Felicia Day makes two appearances in the booster pack while Wil Wheaton makes four appearances in the booster pack.

These promo cards have been on my wish list for a while I just never bought them, I guess making them grey whales but now they are finally in my hands and they are off the list.

Felicia Day... Oh And Some Other Cards

This is one of my “Rainy Day” posts that I wrote awhile back for the days I have writer’s block.

 

Last year in Allen & Ginters there were a couple of entertainers that made it on to both the autograph and relic checklisgts. Two of them; Kevin Smith and Snoop Lion (he has since returned to using Snoop Dogg) are pretty well known while Felicia Day is a geek goddess.

 

I picked up the Smith and Snoop Dogg relics for $9.14 total shipped for both cards. Both cards are multi-colored with the Smith having a nice white/blue split while the Snoop Dogg actually has three colors. The majority is black with the white spot in the bottom left corner and along the bottom there is a yellow-green color that is difficult to see. The seller threw in a Snoop Dogg base card in the sale. I was hoping to pick up an orange/blue Kevin Smith multi-colored relic but they tend to run a bit more so for the deal I got with the card I got I am happy. I would love to add their official autographs but they are currently well outside of my price range so I went with an IP Kevin Smith autograph for $10 shipped. There are actually similar Kevin Smith autograph cards available for $9.99 that are being sold by Jay And Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, the comic book shop in New Jersey owned by Kevin Smith.

 

Felicia Day is an intelligent, hilarious, beautiful amazing person. She is an actress, producer, director, and writer and above all she is a redhead (I love redheads). Many would consider her an “indie” personality because she is probably most well known for her internet web-shows Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Show (Hilarious!), The Guild and Dragon Age: Redemption as well as video games and cartoon voice work but she has also appeared in major shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eureka and Supernatural and I have to admit I have a huge crush on her.

Day has relics and autographs in both Buffy and The Guild releases but prices of those cards are insanely expensive so when Topps included her on the checklist I figured I had a better chance of adding her cards to my collection. I picked up her relic for a whopping $1.50, it is a single colored dress relic but I am looking to add a multi-colored relic card eventually. The autograph ended up running me $20.26, which is about the price range for her A&G autograph cards. Just this month I was able to add her The Guild relic for under $20 shipped.

 

What better way to close out this post than to end on a beautiful shot of Felicia Day

"Not Me", Damn Right It Isn't Me!

Earlier this week Raz wrote about picking up a Felicia Day autograph from Cryptozoic’s 2012 The Guild release. I am a Day fan (She is at the top of my celebrity crush list) and have one of her autographs but I am always on the lookout to add more so after Raz wrote about his pickup I took a look on the Google machine and came across a most interesting custom card TTM autograph card that was ending soon with an opening bid of only $0.99 plus an insane $5.00 shipping (though if it was a cool card $5.99 for a Felicia Day autograph is a steal).

The down side is that it was not a cool card. It was a poorly copy and paste image and when it was printed it was washed out. The autograph is real but the character portrayed on the card is not Felicia Day as Codex from The Guild but instead a cosplayer dressed as Codex, which was pointed out by Felicia Day when she wrote “Not Me” with an arrow pointing at the character. The card eventually sold for the opening $0.99 bid.

I have included an image of Felicia Day as Codex and you can see the differences. While the cosplayer pictured on the custom card does look similar to Felicia Day when you compare the two you can see they are not the same person.

 

I actually found the cosplayer, her name is Ksenia Zaring and the image used for this card is on her DeviantArt page, not sure how the card designer missed this mistake.

You would think once the actress pointed out the person on the card was not her that the seller would not have posted the card to sell. I considered buying the card and maybe cutting out the autograph and making some sort of cut signature card but I wavered and decided in the end to not bid.
