\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of you may have been around this weekend in the wee hours of the night\/morning when I was posting snapshots on facebook<\/a> of some of my Vintage collectibles from my dedicated “Star Wars” room. In doing so, one photo in particular (at right) sparked an idea for a project\/quest for something I’ve wanted to tackle for many years – assemble a\u00a0“carded”<\/strong> Vintage Kenner collection.<\/p>\n

Why the quotes around “carded” you ask?\u00a0This is where the fun\/insanity begins.<\/strong> I don’t care if the card is missing the POP, if the bubble is dented, crushed or yellowed to such a degree as to where it looks like the figure is entombed in a chunk of solid amber. A price tag over the character’s portrait – so what! The card has been folded, torn, stepped on or water stained (or worse) – fine by me. The goal is to have a MOC (mint on card)\u00a0figure, <\/em>with bubble completely attached, regardless of the card’s condition.\u00a0Weird, huh?<\/p>\n

I hope to acquire at least one carded vintage figure per month as cheap as possible. A quick eBay search shows that some figures (meeting my outlined criteria) can be picked up for a mere fraction of what a brand new figure retails for today. Also, I’d like to pick up the figure on the character’s first card (ex. Bossk on a TESB card).<\/p>\n

I plan to document each acquisition on facebook<\/a> in a dedicated album and each one tagged with the date received and price paid.<\/p>\n

Have I gone mad or is Vintage just that cool? Probably both. : )<\/p>\n
