Cardboard Cameos: "No Heartbeat"

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Visit the official site here.

Breast Cancer will be detected in one of eight women in the US each year.
It is the second leading cause of cancer death among women each year.
On average every 2 minutes a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer and every 13 minutes one person will die from breast cancer.
There are currently 33 million breast cancer survivors in the USA.

It's important to support the research for cancer.  Breast Cancer is often associated with the color pink so I will be showing off some pink Cutch cards.

In addition, you can expect to see some boobs with each post.  Who doesn't love boobs?

So let's start with what we're hoping to save!

Elvira may be the obvious choice for Halloween....

BUT....

I am going with a spunky young actress from my favorite show to binge watch

Rose McIver

Is a more modern actress of the undead, and star of one of my favorite TV shows

Not everyone wants to be associated with geek cult roles, but Rose McIver has done exceptional in that role.

Appearing in Power Rangers:RPM may have helped her get notoriezed for roles in Once Upon a Time before she became the leading role in iZombie.


She may not be as busty as some of the other lovely ladies I have shown this month, but she is still sexy AF.



In the tv series iZombie, Liv played by McIver has to fill the void of living a normal human life after being exposed as a zombie.

She eats the brains of victims and gets flashes of their memories to help solve the "whodunit" style mysteries.

She has a very spunky personality similar to another of Rob Thomas' TV creations, Veronica Mars, who I showed way earlier this month.

She seemed the perfect way to bookend this month as we celebrate Halloween as she also appeared as Tinkerbelle on Once Upon a Time.


In iZombie, the brains are a short term fix for ultimately what stops her from filling void of being undead.

As you can see on the back of this card
Andrew Mccutchen claims that Felipe (Rivero) Vazquez has "No Heartbeat"

The back of this card is a 2018 Topps Pink Felipe Rivero card.

A good backside can be just as good as the front.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

I hope you all enjoyed this year's 2nd Annual (3rd if you remember my TreasureRoom blog) Save The Boobies event.

Remember that 1 in 8 women will be detected with breast cancer and that for as little as $150 mammogram check you can help early detection.

Let's All Help Save Second Base!!!

I'm making my donation again this year for everyone who helped leave comments. $195 will be donated to the Susan G Komen foundation.

Rosario Dawson

I first became aware of Dawson for her role in Men in Black 2 opposite of Will Smith.

She has gone in to star in many movies and TV shows.

Right now she is a HUGE part of the Marvel Netflix Universe where her character is the only character to appear in all seasons of Daredevil, Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Defenders, and The Punisher.

Being a NJ guy and living just a few minutes from Kevin Smith's comic shop, I of course have it in my blood to love all the View Askew films including Clerks 2.  Her jiggly personality as Rebecca helped save that film.

Over the years Dawson has also lended her voice to comic and princess type stories like Wonder Woman, Lego Batman, and Tinkerbelle.

This of course in addition to movies like Sin City 2 where she stole the spotlight.


For an actress who's first role was a movie called Kids she is living out every kids fantasy of being super popular and appearing in movies, tv, film, and music videos.

She has starred across action stars like Bruce Willis in the film Fire with Fire.

This 2017 Fire Magenta is numbered to 25 copies.
It is a card I grabbed last year for the Black,Friday special they were doing on COMC.

Ciara Renee

Ciara is an insanely talented woman recommended by Brett.

She has done everything from playing Esmeralda in the Hunchback of Notre Dame

To playing Hawkgirl in DC's The Legends of Tomorrow

Along with a few episodes on the Flash and Arrow. Fortunately for the DCU on the small screen, her background isn't nearly as confusing as the characters comic background of multiple incarnations of princesses and suicidal teenagers.

In addition to her roles on Broadway and the small screen she is also involved with producing records
There is no telling how much more this budding young star will do with her career.

As if playing a superhero wasn't enough to keep one's satisfied she needs to appear on the most popular stage in the world regularly.

This Gypsy Queen certainly gets my attention for whatever her career future is.

And this Gypsy Queen has my attention too.  It took me 4 different attempts to win this 2018 Gypsy Queen red parallel.
This year Topps used a "softer" red for all their parallels. Most of the red parallel actually have pinkish shades to them.

Captain Marvel is Back!


October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Visit the official site here.

Breast Cancer will be detected in one of eight women in the US each year.

Brie Larson

The Super actress will be a HUGE part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the next few years.

Her character, Captain Marvel, was summoned at the end of the latest Avengers movie.

But she has also helped saved people in other films she has been in.

In the suspense psycho thriller "Room", Larson plays the role of a young woman who was kidnapped and forced to captivity.  She raises her son and after over a decade confined to a single room in a shed she devises a plan to save herself and her son from the captor that took her when she was just a teenager.  It is an imcredible performance in the film by Larson.

In the upcoming film Captain Marvel we already know that the film takes place in the 90s.

Of course this would be hard for Larson to correctly portray and she was born in 1989.

Topps used the 1989 design several times in 2014 and 2015 for their Archives release and also as a mini insert set.  The set was also given a chrome version...which lead to Superfractors.

I love the pink and black backs of the 1989 set.   I remember opening up so many packs from 1989 and reading those backs over and over again.

(This is just the regular base back.  I chose to show this as the scan made it difficult to read the text through the BGS case)
Steelers got an important game today.  They need to Avenge their embarassing tie with the Cleveland Browns from Week 1.

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!! HERE WE GO!!!

Marley Shelton

She has been appearing in movies since she was a teenage heart throb in the Sandlot.
She has aged nicely over the years

Despite appearing in a movie called Bubble Boy, her acting career wasn't over.
(Seriously did anyone actually enjoy that movie?)

As baseball fans we are all aware of this actress for depicting the teenage crush Wendy Peffercorn in the movie, The Sandlot.

When you think of the name Wendy, there's 3 names that come to mind including Peffercorn. One is a fictional character from Peter Pan. The other is the fast food franchise.

I can't deny the fact that I have had my fair share of their 4 for $4 value meals in the past year.

Gregory Polanco joined Andrew McCutchen and Jeff King as the only Pirates to have 4 for 4 nights three times in a season since 1988 as seen on the back of this 2018 Topps Chrome Pink Refractor.
