⏳🧙Sandman

#sandman by Neil Gaiman was a comic that I read issue by issue growing up. I would bike to store to buy the next week's story all by myself, this had a special place in my childhood and is just a fantastic story all around. Let's see if we can pull a full set from this sealed box of 1994 SkyBox #tradingcards

[@gerharddamm5933]

Wow! Didn’t know they made these! I do have all the absolute sandman so I don’t think I need cards as well haha. Still pretty cool

I remember Doawn having those type of cards as well. Because of the odd size, I stayed away from them. By the time I got into the Sandman series, They were getting close to the end and I just picked the graphic novels. Cool cards though.

The size is odd, the official binder is super expensive now too. I have not found a great storage/display option for these yet.

[@Jujob79]

My fault. Spawn. Not doawn.

[@TradingCardArchivist]

Oh hah, that makes sense. I honestly loved Spawn too growing up, even the goofy movie they made for it. That would be a cool set of cards to look at I bet. I have nightmares of that video game though, the Spawn SNES game, it was one that our rental shop had and omg that game was hard 😡

Im not very familiar with sandman but these cards looks very much a tarot card I had these experience when it comes to casper and looney tunes comics were I had most of them in good condition but as I was busy studying and we also moved houses most of my treasures is gone when asked my parents they said they have thrown everything. Specially during the pandemic I have cleaned everything rearanged I thought my old paintings are safely kept it turned out they just put it on the storage and it was heavily damaged now I triple check evrything since they are all precious collection.

Do you give yourself a monthly or weekly budget haha

[@TradingCardArchivist]

Heh... I try to work with a monthly budget but it ends up getting mixed around a lot depending on when sales and giveaways happen. Shipping the giveaway prizes usually takes a whole month's budget on it's own.
