sweeneyb Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I was in my local baseball card store and found out that there is a new hockey cards coming out made by Upperdeck that features artifacts and fossils in them that can be pulled. Even though it is 1:240 packs I still thought it was pretty cool. Who would have thought they would ever combine fossils with baseball cards. They even have a cool slogan on the box that reads: Where the Ice Meets the Ice Age... Here is the link to check out one of the cards: http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/latest-sports-collecting-news/upper-deck-champs-hockey-ice-meets-ice-age.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32fordboy Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It is bizarre, but if it gets new people into the hobby, that's great! My friends think I'm bizarre for collecting "dead things". www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32fordboy Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I bet a stegosaur would be good at "spiking", too. Different sport, though. www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It is bizarre, but if it gets new people into the hobby, that's great! My friends think I'm bizarre for collecting "dead things". You would think that the company would create a set of prehistoric animal cards and then use those "real fossil" as the "chase" cards (the rare subset) for it. I have some of the cards from the early 60's (some with Charles R. Knight artwork) and some of the ones from the 90's. Arby's gave out extinct mammal cards in their kid's meals for a short time in 2001. Yeah, I admit it. I have some of those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Do you have the Arby's one that talks about the "crustaceous" period? Did that actually happen? Fossil-trivia-pop-collecting-error...what a hoot!

Guest Smilodon Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Did that actually happen? Fossil-trivia-pop-collecting-error...what a hoot! Yes, I looked for it but I must have tossed it. They also had one about the 90-foot-long giant shark. I have to tell you, I get "crustaceous" a lot. Even my boss at the museum called it that last week!

The 1962 card set has a card that calls a nothosaur a "Muschelkalk." Somewhere along the line, someone mistook the rock formation for the animal. There have been quite a few "dinosaur" card sets. Some were promo items like the Arby's set - available for only a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
