Pretty cool, huh?

I've been buying Non-Sport Update (NSU) magazine since it was first published in 1990. I love this magazine! Here's a description from their Facebook page --

Non-Sport Update magazine offers features, departments, pricing, and more for collectors of non-sport and entertainment trading cards (cards such as Star Wars, Stargate, Twilight, LOST, Elvis, Bench Warmer, and more). In addition to the articles, each issue includes our "Take Along" Price Guide (with pricing for cards from the late 1800s to today) and sample promotional trading cards. Our articles are written by collectors and hobby experts.

You can find NSU magazine at your local comic book store or subscribe through the NSU website.

Captain America Movie Trading Cards

A few weeks ago I won a contest on Upper Deck Entertainment's Facebook page. There were four prizes to choose from. I chose an unopened box of Captain America cards. I received them today - ON MY BIRTHDAY!! What a great gift. Thanks Upper Deck! Here's the breakdown of my box --

1 set of 99 base cards + 27 doubles
12 of 13 Comic Covers cards (missing #C-2) + 4 doubles
10 of 12 Poster cards (missing #'s P-6 and P-9) + 3 doubles
2 of 6 Insignia Patch cards (missing #'s I-1, I-3, I-4, I-6)
1 sketch card by Bill Pulkovski (this is really cool, he only made a total of 43 sketch cards for this set)

I didn't get any autographs, printing plates or costume cards. But, I'm really happy with what I got.
