I've got another short post today. Most of the day was taken up by my nephew's birthday party at a local park. All four of my sisters were there, along with me, so we had five of the six siblings and their kids all together. We let the kids run around for a few hours, because it's not often that all the cousins get together.
I don't add a lot of SEGA Card-Gen cards to my collection these days, but every now and then I find one I don't have at a decent price. That was the case with this Matt Holliday card from the foil Rare subset of the 2012 SEGA Card-Gen set. In addition to having a different picture than his base card and a foil background, the Rare cards also gave a slight stat boost to the player in the associated arcade game. Card-Gen cards are some of my favorite bits of cardboard, and I am always happy to snag another one.
I think the only time I have see these is on here
ReplyDeleteI learned about them from Zippy Zappy. I liked them so much that I jumped in with both feet.
DeleteHow many cards are in the set? Cool.
ReplyDeleteThe Rare set has 60 cards in it. The base set has 408 cards. You can see all of them on Zippy Zappy's blog: http://cervinupcards.blogspot.com/2014/04/joy-of-completed-set-2012-sega-card-gen.html
DeleteSega Card-Gens don't pop up on blogs as much as they used to. Does Sega still produce these?
ReplyDeleteI think 2013 was the last set. I think it took a couple of years after that for the official announcement that no more sets would be produced.
