Palitoy is an ******

[Donkey Hoatie]

A while back, when I first saw the Mego Museum trading cards he put together, I specifically said to myself, "Don't get anywhere near those. You'll obsess about them and have to get them all."

Despite his numerous offers to send them out to Museum members, I always declined. No thanks, I've got enough other things to try to collect.

So, what happens? Well, I innocently placed an order for a couple of those snazzy 1978 Reimagined catalogs and this mofo throws in a handful of the cards. Sure enough, the first one I see is for the Adventure People. The second one is for the Shogun Warriors Mazinga. A couple of my all-time favorite non-Mego toys. Needless to say, I was hooked the moment their cardboardy goodness hit my hands. These things are like crack.

Thanks, Palitoy. You're a big-time ****** drug-in-card-form dealer.

Now, how do I go about getting more of these things? You know, short of selling my soul and all.

I'll trade you some if you'll sign my Hoatie & the Blawfish CD.

Azrak. Consider it done!

This is a slippery slope I'm heading down. I can feel it.

I too tried to resist the lure of cards, but all the packages Palitoy sent me also contained the added goodness of Mego and PS cards and stickers.

Now all of a sudden I find I'm back to collecting cards, something I haven't done since my short pants were really short pants. And not just Mego Museum and PS cards either. All of a sudden I'm trying to collect vintage cards from my childhood and all kinds of cool stuff they came out with in the three decades since. I'm cruising stores looking for binders and sleeves and more bookshelves to house them.

All for the love of tiny pieces of picto-cardboard.

why would he sign a hootie cd?

Well, the sickness is spreading. I just ordered myself a Starter Set. This will not end well. I'm already envisioning my wife sending me divorce papers. If she wants me to read them, she'd better put them on a series of cards.

Much like samurainoir, just having those cards in my hand has rekindled my desire to complete my sets of vintage Star Wars cards that I've got kicking around from my childhood. I had most of the blue and red series cards and then a smattering of the yellow, green, and orange one. I think eBay's going to be getting some serious business from me during the summer.
